I love so much how every single time these "play both sides" genocide centrists play their game they get dragged by both sides. The left is correctly calling Mamdani out for supporting genocide and the right still thinks he's trying to implement Palestinian sharia law or whatever the fuck they think. As usual this social democrat is now losing the entire game because you cannot both sides a genocide. Appeasement is a worthless strategy yet again

    "Middle of the road" was never how politics worked, it's how you get hit by both directions of traffic.

    You win by galvanizing your base, normalizing your opinions, and appearing successful.

    People don't vote based on a calculation of ideological proximity (and a plurality of people are ideologically incoherent), they vote based on pathos.
