        And just like that, not voting became acceptable. Sure is neat what having a progressive nominee will do.

          Progressives vote more as a voting block than conservatives do. Oh, were you hoping that would be a sick burn?

              What gave you the impression I was advocating for not voting? I said I expected some Democrats to not vote, not that I supported it.

                Well, that was the assumption every time progressives warned centrists that people would stay home if the administration didn’t abandon their unconditional arms sales that everyone knew were being used for genocide.

                You’re expecting greater benefit of the doubt than the anti-genocide left got from centrists. None is forthcoming. You were advocating against voting because you want sliwa to win.

                    I was not advocating against voting

                    Neither was I during 2024. That never stopped centrists from making that assumption about me no matter how many times I corrected them. Now centrists want better treatment from the left than they were ever willing to show the left.

                    No, you are advocating against voting because you want sliwa to win. Mods, this sort of thing never got removed when centrists were calling everyone to the left of netanyahu a trumper, and I’m probably foolish to expect consistency.
