    No, you should protest and lobby as much as you can - but not once the primaries have passed and we’re into an election

    And you’re acting like the primaries are fair again because you get the results you want from the cheating.

      I never said they were fair. They are what they are. It’s politics and people do what ever they can to win the primaries. There’s back room deals and bribery and all sorts of shit, I’m sure. But it doesn’t matter: once it’s a choice between A or B, and A is significantly better than B, you support A, otherwise you are helping B, which is worse. It’s very simple.

        So support genocidal shit no one got to vote for, without condition or reservation, because people who only want your tacit approval of genocide order you to be quiet.

            Slower genocide is what you consider better. Not because it’s slower, but because it’s genocide.

            Do you like slower genocide because you can savor it more thoroughly?

                Election’s over. I get to criticize the genocide wing now, no matter how much opposing genocide bothers you.

                    We will then have to work extra hard to counter this and also support all democrats in the actual election (even the ones supporting Isreal) otherwise the democrats will have no power and any elected democrats who want to push back on Isreal will be totally sidelined.

                    That wasn’t a concern when centrists like Gillibrand were making openly bigoted attacks on Mamdani. After his primaries, of course. Unconditional support is only demanded for centrists. Never progressives.
