When centrists criticize leftists and refuse to endorse them:

Amazing that people in the same party would critize each other ain’t it? That’s called competition, having an opinion, not lining up in lockstep behind Daddy. Before MAGA that used to be the American Way. Try it sometime.

When leftists criticize centrists and refuse to endorse them:

I blame the millions of Dems who stayed home because Kamala didn’t meet their moral purity standards and they refused to be “complicit in genocide”.

I did try it sometime and you didn't seem to feel the same way about it 🤔

When meme-brains use labels like "centrist" and "leftist" cuz they don't remember how thinking works. Black hat BAD, white hat GOOD!

You're right, Kamala wasn't so much a centrist as she was far-right.

That's not what I'm right about, and your nonsense is now blocked.
