    Wedge issues can be important issues, it actually makes them better as divisive points.

        There should be no difference of opinion within the Democratic Party on this. What Netanyahu is doing is genocide, and none of us should be supporting it.

        It’s disgusting to see centrists reveal who they have always been.

          And here you are again with your centrist labeling and vile accusations of genocide support. I’m saying people will be divided and as a result, abstain from casting an anti-Trump vote for Biden.

            How convenient for centrists that anything that challenges them from the left is automatically Trump support.

              It’s the point of the comment you replied to. I’m sorry if that’s not clear. Republicans are counting on the inaction of the left in the fall due to division.

                And so anyone to your left must shut up immediately and permanently or they want Trump to win.

                It’s neat how readily centrists accept genocide, yet how hostile they are to the concerns of the genocide-averse.

                  Not at all. I’m very vocally against Biden’s support of Israel, as well as several other policies that I don’t agree with. I’m all for free speech, even for venomous people such as yourself. All I’m saying is that the division will coerce some to abstain, leading to a Trump victory.

                    They know.

                    Are you?

                    All I’m saying is that the division will coerce some to abstain, leading to a Trump victory.

                    And so everyone to your left must shut up immediately and permanently because otherwise they want Trump to win. I mean, that’s the practical upshot, isn’t it? If there’s any disagreement on anything at all, ever, it’s disunity and disunity means Trump will inevitably win in all cases, and how DARE anyone do that because Trump will win if they do.

                    It’s a convenient way for people who like what Biden’s doing to silence people who don’t. I get that you’re scared that Trump will win. So am I.

                    Even if genocide is your single favoritest thing in the world, it’s a losing issue. Biden must abandon his support for genocide if he wants to win.
