    that’s why I was offering a more credible way to pressure him to be better

    We saw how such pressure worked out with harris. Anyone who said that democrats had no business supporting genocide was assumed to be a tankie/russian/chinese/child/shill/republican/trumper/bot or whatever category was convenient for genocide supporting centrists use to dismiss people they hate for being to the left of netanyahu.

        I say genocide is bad, and you call me alt-right for saying it. Thank you for the absolutely perfect illustration of exactly what I was talking about.

          I didn’t call you alt-right. I was highlighting that you responded to a fair counterpoint (that I obviously agree about running better candidates in addition to pressuring the existing ones to be better) by just totally ignoring it and pivoting to another accusation unrelated to what we had been talking about.

          Similar to this flow of conversation. See if it rings true:

              Another pivot, not addressing the substance of what I said! Fun stuff lol

              I have no idea whether you are alt-right, I don’t think it is particularly likely. All I am doing is calling out the type of bad faith argument you’re employing.
