get fucked, centrists
gasp
Where's your tolerance?! I thought progressives were nice!
no, i'm an angry progressive. think we should bring back the bull moose party and find a socialist that can gish gallop the way Trump does
Tolerance doesn't mean someone can't be mean to you. It means they give you the same rights they expect you to give them.
This includes the right to say "get fucked" to others and to disassociate from people that are likely to say "get fucked" to you.
Listen sweaty, Martin Luther King didn't create the underground railroad by telling people to get fucked, okay? He was all about nonviolence AKA, ya know being nice to people?? Preeeettttyyy suuuure I know what I'm talking about here.

Please, dear readers, don't make me submit to the/sdegradation, I'll do it like this instead lolAnyone who thinks you're being earnest here is beyond hope lol
I think you're right, I'm sometimes more subtle than I mean to be but not this time lol
Some of us are just doing all we can to avoid spilling blood.
You can't win office without Independent votes.
Anyone that you want to elect must get Independent votes, they are 40% of the voters (Ds & Rs 30% each).
When I need help, I don't tell the potential aid to fuck off, but what do I know? Let's see how "fuck off" inspires the electorate.
Centrist doesn't like hearing the messaging that centrists have been sending the left for 40 years.
Look, I know that a candidate who isn't itching to murder every last Palestinian might not be your very first choice, but they agree with you on 98% of everything else, right? So vote blue no matter who.
This assumes independents are centrists...
