    Again, not me telling you that, and still missing the point. The fascists are the reason we have fascists. They are the enemy, the centrists are just bad allies.

    I’m not opposed to criticizing centrists, I’m opposed to distracting ourselves and acting against our interests by claiming bad allies are the real enemy. People like to feel like they figured out the real threat, and it was secretly some seemingly innocuous force. But usually, the obvious threat is obvious for a reason.

      Maybe you should stop making arguments that you need to distance yourself from the moment you make them?

      We aren’t in charge of what fascists do, but we are in charge of what other who want our vote do. You get that, right?

      Trump doesn’t give a shit what I want because I’m never voting for him or his party. But Kamala and the DNC need my vote to win. You understand why that means I’m going to tell them what I want them to do and file them accountable to that, right?

        What argument am I distancing myself from?

        You do understand that you’re proving my point. If you can influence the centrist, then they’re not the greater enemy. Again, not saying they’re above criticism, my complaint is painting them as worse than fascists. That’s simply a ridiculous claim.
