Extreme leftism is when you have a bedrock principle or two that you refuse to compromise on. Centrism is when everything, even genocide, is negotiable.

really great how you made a net negative sound like a positive, when in reality Leftists are just hyper focused on a facet of a larger problem and completely ignore the bigger picture because it doesn't make them feel warm and fuzzy.

that's fine. Genocide is acceptable by Leftists too if it's Muslims.

btw, where was the leftist outrage for the millions of Wygers in China? not brown enough? not convenient enough during an election?

so what makes lefties IGNORE Wyger persecution in china?

Leave aside for a moment the argument we might have about what is happening in China... What the fuck would I be able to do about that? Do I vote in China? Do my tax dollars fund their military?

And american voters also didn't get to do anything about the palestinian genocide because there were two choices and pretending there were more is delusional at best. And the choice was between a party unwilling to take a strong stance against it vs a party actively encouraging it and saying they'd help. While also openly wanting to genocide minority groups in their own country.

Well, there is a third choice. It's the centrist choice of either not voting or voting for an irrelevant party, equivalent to saying "let the others decide".

Just stop trying to paint the dems as "unwilling to take a strong stance against it" when they were absolutely "actively encouraging it". What is with this liberal disease of totally ignoring actions while obsessing over words?

You think I've opted out of a decision, but I think you've opted in to accepting genocide. How can you accept such a thing? The absolute minimum you should demand of your party is that they oppose genocide. Otherwise, what is the fucking point?
