    Not that I’m agreeing with OP or the “lefties”, but if that’s why you think they’re talking about it you’re missing a lot. It’s just not that simple, and putting it into terms like that certainly isn’t going to get people to think the same way as you.

    Again, not trying to start a shit slinging match. I honestly will vote for Kamala either way, because that’s who my vote is for.

      Preemptively labeling him “Genocide Josh” is no less reductive or divisive. Them putting it in terms like that isn’t going to get people to think the same way as them. Yet here we are, with them being given a giant megaphone and the party having to cater to their self-defeating absolutism.

        I agree. Which is why Jeff said what they said. But doing what they’re doing because they did it first probably won’t help either side.

        Once again, I am not taking a side or trying to sling shit. It’s not going to matter for me either way. I’m still voting for blue no matter who.

            That’s exactly what I just said. Am I going insane here? Neither of these things are good ways to deal with it. We need unity on the left, not infighting and misleading. It’s okay to call out BS when you see it, but name calling and misleading comments should be left out of it.

              Tell OP. We’ve been trying to rationalize with them for a year, to no avail. Same old petulant bullshit, day in and day out.
