Full of gems like: "Don’t dismiss their anger and pain. For people who consider themselves progressive, the war in Gaza with its high civilian casualties can create a strong sense of turmoil, disillusionment, frustration, and even stronger emotions like fury and disgust."

How to know if you're progressive?

  1. Does the ~~genocide~~ high civilian casualties of brown people frustrate or disgust you?

They always take this preachy, condescending tone like they're lecturing a child about right and wrong.

Liberals, please understand : not everyone shares in this idea that you should get to assume a moral high-ground by default, especially on the issue of minimizing an ongoing genocide to try to pressure people into voting for a candidate that is shitty even aside from their material support for that genocide.

Liberal proselytizers come across as deeply repellent in general, and this behavior only makes it worse.
