Twenty-nine percent of non-voters who supported Biden in 2020 said U.S. support for the genocide was the top reason they sat the 2024 election, according to a survey by YouGov.

I think centrists - especially older more cynical ones who are less idealistic and more transactional in their politics in a selfish way are ignorant of how being too afraid to fight, or to have solidarity, or to draw red lines in the sand about GENOCIDE is the reason fascists took power.

Young, idealistic progressives who are willing to actually fight to defend what they love are our only hope and if you are an older jaded centrist, keep your mouth shut and listen, you have a lot to unlearn and not much time left to do it before the violence y'all helped normalize consumes us all.
