I kind of want to see Bernie Sander run and lose so all the Bernie Bros shut up.

I want to see someone 30 years younger than any current candidate on the ballot. Love me some Bernie, I voted for him in the 2016 primary, but guess what, time for someone I don't have to worry about snapping an ankle getting out of bed.

Wouldn’t that be nice?

Someone who is alive for the consequences of their policies?

Yes, but the saying does go "Societies grow great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they shall never enjoy." Or something like that.

Yeah but shouldn’t they be alive for the first watering?

I would settle for them just doing the planting, that's apparently a hard ask these days.

Yes, there is certainly a group within the Democratic Party that prefers a hereditary dictatorship headed by the Trump family to any progressive.

The progressives would rather have Trump then 90% of democrats so I guess those two groups have something in common!

Centrists got their second choice in 2016.

We're talking about the current year, 2024.

Not nearly a decade ago.

Centrists have only moved to the right since then.

Now they've adopted Trump's immigration policy and are happily supporting genocide.

But it seems if you move a bit to the left all the sudden you’re supporting Trump himself.

According to centrists, yes. Opposition to genocide is regularly met with accusations of being a Trump supporter here.

I remember months of ‘Biden is masterminding a genocide’ followed by ‘Biden is too old and incompetent’ so I keep getting confused about what the issue is why you won’t vote for Trump’s only viable competition.

Masterminding and supporting are two different things. You know this and have chosen to misrepresent the position of people who you hate because they're not on board with murdering Palestinian children.

followed by ‘Biden is too old and incompetent’

Sorry your wing of the party could no longer hide that.

so I keep getting confused about what the issue is why you won’t vote for Trump’s only viable competition.

I'll vote for Biden if he's the nominee. Not that you care. You're too hung up on trying to make sure your genocide supporting god encounters no criticism whatsoever.
