    It’s possible to pressure Biden while also voting against the undeniably worse candidate.

    Then centrists should start doing the former in addition to the latter.

    Instead, they scream that anyone who does the former wants trump.

      I think when you joint a thread that’s about voting, or references voting, these are the comments you’re going to see. Doesn’t means we’re “centrists”, just means we care about the election results IN ADDITION TO the state of our world.

        If you care about election results, you should be doing everything you can to pressure Biden to abandon a losing issue.

        If not “centrist”, what term would you prefer for people who would rather support genocide and lose to Trump with all that entails than abandon support for genocide and win?

          I’d call person a strawman.

            And yet, I’m not seeing centrists pressuring Biden to stop supporting genocide.

              Probably cause centrists don’t care about Gaza as much as liberals. I don’t know cause I’m not a centrist. I’m a liberal that doesn’t like what’s going on in Gaza, but will vote against Trump no matter what happens.

                And I’m a progressive who has said multiple times in this thread that I’m voting for Biden. I bitterly resent being manipulated into voting in a way that renders me monstrous, and I hope he stops supporting genocide.

                  Well, I don’t think somebody voting against Biden because of his Israel position is a monster. I think they are misguided and playing directly into the hands of Trump who would do even more harm to Gaza.

                    How many times do I have to say that I’M VOTING FOR BIDEN? I resent being manipulated into doing so because such a vote will render me monstrous.

                    You may be eager to vote for supporting genocide. You may be delighted to give Biden a mandate to keep up the good work of sending weapons to murder Palestinian children. The very idea makes me sick.
