    Yeah, that’s what liberals (centrists, moderates, whatever terminology you prefer) do. They will gladly welcome fascism if it means that they stay comfortable in the short-term.

      I’m fucking Republican. I’m an antiTrump Republican.

      Who ever said I was moderate? But I have values and Bernie is too far for me. I get that maybe I’m too far right… But it is important to note that Biden easily has my vote right now, as do a fair number of other Democrats.

      Just don’t fuck it up with a far left candidate and I should be fine voting on your side this election.

      I can see why Biden pisses some of you liberals off. But Biden has done a lot of good for my particular ideologies. Helping Ukraine, keeping US Foreign policy active (in particular: countering China and protecting the Seas from Houthis), without becoming too far left on any major issues. I probably can accept a minor amount to the left of Biden and still vote for Democrats.

      I get that progressives want something else but frankly I disagree with y’all fundamentally so there’s not much you can offer me on the far left.

        I’m saying you’re a moderate based on your previous comment. Bernie isn’t “far left,” you are living in an alternate reality. He basically advocates for common-sense tax and spend policies and tries to be pro-worker when he can.

        People like Harris and Biden are centrists, that’s why you can stomach voting for him. He’s made his whole career on that. Bernie is center-left, he’s a social democrat but the right-wing talks about him like he’s about to take away your toothbrushes.
