    The fact is that many Americans wouldn’t vote for a woman, and combining that with the ones who wouldn’t vote for a person of colour is a bad idea

    So long as a progressive is a possibility and not one femtosecond longer.

    I do think that the fact she wouldn’t support Palestine/condemn Israel was a factor too, but if she had, that would have set Israel against her and lost more votes

    So we have to (and you get to) support genocide forever too!

        I’m saying that if there’s an option to take a risk now when failure means death then it’s best to not take the risk and wait for a time when the alternative is only pain.

        It’s neat how quickly timidity develops when the party wants to shut out a progressive. That’s the only thing this has ever been about.

            I guess you know the party is going to shut out progressives forever and love it.

            And I get that every centrist interprets all criticism of their party as trump support, but I voted for Harris.
