No. I'm the one taking the abuse, and you're the idiot telling me I shouldn't fight back and should try talking things out instead.
Don't flatter yourself. You aren't my ally. You are the enemy.
And you keep disregarding what I'm saying, and ignoring that your approach objectively doesn't work, and ignoring that it only serves to alienate the people you are insisting you are allied with. People like you are the reason so many minorised people hate centrists. You are the exact type of moderate MLK Jr. expressed disappointment over in his letter from a Birmingham jail.
But this interaction has been what I have come to expect from an "enlightened" centrist. It's The Cost of Doing Business.
