I think the point is that Democrats are making absolutely no concessions to anyone who’s not extremely right-wing or pro-establishment. I understand the concept of damage control, but what I’ve seen leads me to believe that Democrats are willing to dismiss the concerns of any leftist or progressive, even using dehumanizing tactics like calling us “bots.”

I myself plan to protest in the primary but vote for whatever ghoul they put forward, but I can totally sympathize with people who can’t morally bring themselves to vote for someone who is actively contributing to a genocide, who is increasing the number of innocent refugees being imprisoned and deported at the southern border, and the like.

I think it’s also worth noting that committing genocide is never okay, no matter how many Americans think otherwise. What would happen to me if suddenly the majority wanted me in the “out group.” This is why we call it “fascism” – that’s not an exaggeration, it tracks with what Biden and our nation have been doing.
