    I’m not equivocating. I’m saying if the situation is this dire then surely cutting off arms supply to Israel is a fucking bargain isn’t it?

    It’s time to compromise with leftists and progressives. If you won’t do it now when “there’s no tomorrow after this” then you never will. Make a choice.

        Are leftists a minor wing that’s too small to be compromised with? Because if so it’s impossible for us to hold democracy hostage. Moderates are the majority voting bloc. They bear the lions share of the responsibility for any outcome. They elected Joe Biden in the primaries, they’re responsible for how he does in the general elections.

        Seriously. Purported progressives acting like domestic terrorists thinking they’re better than hippie anti vaxer moms showing up at the same rallies as nazis. I’m a fucking actual progressive. That’s why I’m compromising with Biden to keep us on oxygen. I can’t stand these fucking imbeciles…

        I think Biden makes compromises. That’s the leftists argument against him. But here he’s probably weighing the cost of pissing off a Jewish block of support and leftists.

        I also doubt it’s much of a choice. The leftist won’t support him regardless because he’s not bernie sanders.

        As a rule, no one should compromise with those that will not compromise.

        Are you under the impression Biden won the 2020 general election without the help of progressives and leftists?

            So you are aware progressives and leftists compromised and voted for Biden in the 2020 general election.

            Surely that means it’s time for moderates and Biden to compromise yes?

                Nah don’t end the conversation now buddy. Democracy is about compromise right? I gave you an example of leftists and progressives compromising now surely these moderates compromised somewhere right? It’s not like the majority voting bloc would be so selfish and stupid as to risk losing democracy rather than give up anything? Right? Right?
