      Yeah I don’t have to pretend that the actions that helped elect Trump are understandable. They’re selfish and/or moronic actions that fuck everyone over

        Like so. Like I said, I’m voting for Biden. But that won’t stop you from pontificating. Just keep going like lecturing me will change other people’s minds. Thank you for the additional confirmation that lemmy’s centrists are every bit the same as they are on reddit.

            I’m voting for Biden. (You’ll continue to ignore this and keep scolding.) I also know that the party is losing voters it needs because it keeps taking them for granted.

            This is a problem. “Shut up and be happy” won’t solve it.

            When your next condescending self-righteous reply is done, the problem I described will remain.

              Yeah I’m the condescending one. The enlightened actual centrist has educated me everyone. Suddenly pushing shitty ideas to the top isn’t bad anymore

                  That voting against sanity is “understandable”

                    I can’t force you to understand that other people have different standards for who they will vote for than yours. That’s not a shitty idea. That’s recognizing the political reality as it exists. Democrats are gonna need the votes of these people.

                    As a recent example, I can imagine someone who came here as a refugee being hesitant to vote for someone who funds bombing refugee camps. I’m sure you’ll yell at me for having enough empathy to understand that.

                    There are certainly people out there who will never understand that you can only maintain a diverse coalition through solidarity. By an astounding coincidence, they all seem to think that solidarity is something the party can demand from its constituents but can disregard in the other direction without consequence.

                    In any event, you don’t understand because you’re not here to understand. You’re here to browbeat. You’re doing a fantastic job of acting exactly like this is reddit.

                    You’ve adequately demonstrated what happens when someone deviates from centrist orthodoxy on lemmy. I thank you for your participation and will now withdraw mine.
