In that case you must not be looking very hard, because I see these arguments every other thread. In case you actually don't see this stuff, long story short the arguments boil down to "See? We fucking told you centrism wasn't going to work," "so genocide is bad now that Trump is doing it," "the heck are you blaming us for? It was the moderates who stayed home" and "there were either enough progressives to sway the election or not enough to listen to them, you can't have it both ways". Also, though I haven't seen this one much from other people, here's me in this thread:
Because they're not a good choice. They're just the better choice.
But being against them is still an idiotic move. It's called strategic voting.
Only if you only think four years into the future and don't think of how to actually get your way out of this mess, but either way we should be able to agree that the "can't vote for Kamala because war" people are not, in fact, quiet.
Oh yeah, you're the best example that they've got a direct line of copium to their home.
I guess helping to get Trump elected was a brilliant move for the future! Bright times ahead after his 4 years.
Notice how they got you talking about Democrats instead of Republicans. Be careful, don't let them distract you.
Republicans are the problem at hand. Have been for decades.
That's exactly my point, thank you!
Okay if you think Pelosi isn't part of the problem I have a bridge to sell you.
Is she the one who just bombed Iran?
Is she the one with unidentifiable ICE agents shoving people into unmarked vans?
Is she in the room with us right now?
This both sides nonsense is so fucking pathetic right now.
Your argument, if it can even be called that, isn't proving anything at all. Pelosi isn't doing these particular things, but she has her own list of crimes.
