Somehow I don’t think ICE would be raiding cities en masse while actively trying to skirt the constitution, the world would have gone into a massive economic tailspin, or we’d see the US close to entering yet another war in the Middle East justified by a complete lack of evidence.

Yeah, because it would already be in it.

The world hasn't gone into an economic tailspin. The planetary economy is too big to fuck up that quickly, but Trump is sure trying.

Excuse me, but if you have something to say to me, you can support genocide to my face.

why do you say such stupid shit? The people you’re talking to don’t support genocide. Keeping Trump out of office was the way to see a more free Palestine.

Which is why I voted for harris. I still criticized her support for genocide, and that pissed you off because you support genocide.

Wait a minute! That means YOU SUPPORT GENOCIDE!!!

centrists spent the entirety of 2024 insisting that people who don't love genocide don't have to agree with their pro-genocide candidates on everything in order to vote for them. centrists scream "purity test!" at anyone who has any standards whatsoever, but the second one of us actually does what you say you want and votes for your shitty pro-genocide candidate for the reasons you laid out, you pull shit like this.

You don't care how anyone votes, you just don't want any criticism whatsoever of the only policy centrists have never backed down on.
