I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

I was making fun of that short-sighted self-serving nature by making a comparison to capitalist conservatives, not asserting that champagne socialists are, themselves, capitalist conservatives (though, functionally, their actions serve the same goals).
Short-sighted self-serving is what happens when people promote a lesser evil out for fear of a greater one.
They are not willing to risk their lives in the pursuit of an end to our complicity in genocide. More concerned with their current sense of safety in the heart of the Empire than the violence employed to maintain it. Prefferring the surety of another four years where they don't have to think about politics over the chance for fundamental changes in how our political system functions when a large majority of the country aligns against a second Trump administration.
But hey, at least we can all look forward to doing this again when Trump runs in 2028, right? Democrats surely won't triangulate even further to the right in pursuit of the mythical moderate Republican voter, right?
God, accelerationism is so fucking dumb.
Well your countries have couped and intervened in the whole fucking world. Now get a taste of your own medecine bitch
