"This is the behavior of a crazy person.

Trump is a massive failure as president. He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Trump has permitted Netanyahu to drag America to the threshold of war with Iran."

You just want silence from the people who don't like selling arms to murder Palestinians with.

During the run up to the election, pro-genocide centrists (there has never been nor ever will be another kind) kept saying "you don't have to agree with harris about everything in order to vote for her!" Guess that was a fucking lie to get chumps like me to vote for genocidal shit.

Centrists scream that progressives are unreasonable for having standards. They holler "purity test!" any time they encounter criticism for anything they do, no matter how reprehensible. But when someone actually compromises their standards like centrists claim to want, they then scream at them for not applying one of the purity tests they claim to hate.

You just want silence from your left while you move so far to the right that genocide is on the table where you want it.
