    Yeah, when framed that way, it’s a reminder we’ve had to vote for compromise all along… And it’s fucking fine and we have a mostly functioning society.

      It’s not fine. It’s such a privilege on your part to claim that the status quo is lovely. I’ve been to funerals for people who had their relatives die in Gaza. It’s tearing apart the community watching bodies of Gazan children on social media and Harris saying she wouldn’t have changed a thing.

      This is part of the problem with America. Centrists are so self centered that they will condone mass murder of nameless masses to keep their personal gravy train rolling.

        I’m not a centrist. I’m a pragmatist survivor. The opposite of privilege. Academic bullshit costs lives. You don’t know my values besides this one comment.

        I’ve literally led protests against genocide and violence. You don’t know me. You people look for places to grandstand and project your defensiveness because you’re either a bad actor or you know deep down your idealism is wrong.
