All I’m saying is that it’s adorable that you hate this narrative until you find an occasion that suits you, at which point, oh obviously this narrative is true.

It was true enough for centrists to beat progressives over the head with ever since centrists' candidate lost to centrists' second choice in 2016. It stops being true the instant a progressive says it to a centrist. Unsurprising how that conveniently works.

It's like talking to a brick wall.

So, either the centrists have been correct all this time or you are just excited to have a chance to spout the same nonsense. Either way, not really a position worth taking seriously.

I've got better things to do with my time. Have a good day!

Vote blue no matter who, unless that's suddenly horseshit because centrists don't wanna.

Okay, I have to admit I'm still curious.

Is the proposition you outline horseshit, as it was when the centrists used it? Or is it reasonable and thus the centrists were correct?

It's gospel until the instant it inconveniences centrists. Then it's immediately horseshit.

Again, do you think it's true now and was true before? Or were you spouting horseshit as well?

I answered your question. You don't like the answer, so you're going to ignore it and repeat the question.

I will point out any further gaslighting, condescension, and abuse, but I will no longer engage your arguments. You have shown that you are not arguing in good faith, and I will no longer participate on your terms.
