          Centrists abandoned virtue when they supported a genocider for some perceived tactical advantage-- whether you’re voting trump or Harris. They should be doing that with their eyes open and acknowledge that cost. Arab voters arent supporting a genocider when they vote third party or uncommitted.

          You want to claim that any vote besides Harris is a vote for Trump. I supoose if people want to ignore a gencoide (like you probably do) they might as well ignore any respect for the concept of democracy and representation as well (like you probably do). Centrists are running out of things to sell out on, and running out of supporters to win the election-- and its not a coincidence that selling out and supporting a genocide will coincide with losing.

          Arabs didnt leave the democratic party, the party left them. For some AIPAC donations.

      How’s that incrementalism working out for you? By all measures it’s helped shift your party to the right.

        Solidarity could help shift it left. But accelerationist have no desire or idea how to make things better. Always easier to destroy than build.

          Accelerationism aims at putting fascists into power; thus it is a species of fascism.

            Trump/Putin stating openly he’d end the republic seemed insane at first, but maybe he/they saw some polls that showed how many people were disaffected with the current system and decided to roll the dice on it. Its somehow resonating, which is a real eye opener. Our entire system of government ending is neck and neck in an election and the DNC wont lift a finger toward creating unity, because it would risk some bribes being withdrawn. They clearly dont see the danger at all.

            Liberals also called civil rights accelerationism, labor rights accelerationism, any actual progress that has to fight government to progress is considered accelerationism.

            Then after those rights have been won, liberals jumped on the bandwagon as if they always supported them. Liberals, like MLK said, are the largest stumbling blocks to progress

        People refuse to come to terms that incrementalism is also a form of violence against the poor and working class. It only works if you have resources or peace in your area of living.

          The only thing they know is violence. Poverty is violence, lack of health care is violence, stagnant wages is violence, homelessness is violence. Democrats, along with their Republican counterparts, engage in social murder daily.
