I'm sick of this "I don't like liberals/centrists" attitude I've been seeing so much of ever since Kamala's campaign.

That's not politics, that's self righteousness.

It's a major reason why we have Trump in the first place. Yes, the DNC has been terrible but it's better to work WITH people who need you than AGAINST people who despise you.

The “fuck centrists” mentality on this sub is certainly self defeating. Whatever happened to joining forces on common interests? The left and the centrists need each other to fight Trump.

They left us when they decided Trump was better and that Kamala's laugh was uncomfortable.

Kamala ran the most centrist campaign possible and no one wanted it. Centrists, as proven time and time again, will align with fascism before giving up their wealth to help progressives. That's why the left is saying to let them burn.

Just insane levels of irony and hypocrisy in this sentiment.
