I can’t believe a former US marine who joined specifically for Iraq would be violent towards women.

    People on the left were so desperate for the representation that the center does everything it can to deny them that they were willing to ignore some pretty glaring red flags.

    The left is sad that a republican is gonna win now. Centrists are happy.

    Keep gloating about lost hope.

      See, this right fucking here is exactly it. I’m not American but this would be my exact frustration with the situation if I were.

      People on the left were so desperate for the representation

      There have been plenty of criticism aimed at corporations, for example, and how their support for progressive movements was mainly performative, such as rainbow logos during pride month. It was often described as “pinkwashing” or “rainbow-washing.”

      And that’s just scratching surface.

        Moderates weren’t happy as soon as his first scandals came out, but the left cried foul at any criticism.

        You really can’t imagine why the left might no longer trust centrists’ motives, can you?

            If moderates wanted trust, they shouldn’t have broken their campaign promises then turned around and supported genocide.

                Yea that didn’t happen, and the trust of whatever fringe minority of insane people who believe that it did isn’t wanted or valuable.

                You blame us when you lose.

                The only thing moderates want is to flip purple seats

                The only thing any of you want is reflected in the only policy your wing didn’t back down on: genocide support.

                    Imagine saying the democrats had a policy of genocide support with a straight face

                    Name another policy they haven’t backed down on. That they don’t abandon or capitulate to republicans on and call it compromise.

                    You know you can’t.
