And just like that, in the eyes of lemmy's centrists, Michael Moore became a Russian trumper.

I can't speak for centrists, but I think his appeal is wonderfully written. Moore enunciates the danger of Trump returning to office while offering constructive criticism like few others can.

He enunciates the danger of continuing to support genocide. No centrist will listen. Genocide is the point.

I'm not sure exactly what argument you're making. Moore clearly appeals to Kamala because he's worried about Trump returning to office. I am similarly worried.

What the actual fuck are you talking about?

[–] Ensign_Crab 1 points 1 month ago

Moore suggested dropping support for genocide. If you had ever done this, you would have seen how lemmy's centrists react.

Why would you say that? There's nothing wrong with what he said. It's a bit stupid to be saying it right now with just days left in the election, but that's the only criticism. Harris is being very smart in not making any statements or strong moves on the matter right now. She is currently taking tons of Trump voters away who would return to Trump if she made some statement in support of Gaza and/or Muslims.

Why would you say that?

Missed this bit, huh?:

in the eyes of lemmy’s centrists

Moore is saying that Harris should change on genocide. To lemmy's centrists, that maps 1:1 with working for Putin or supporting Trump or both.

Harris is being very smart in not making any statements or strong moves on the matter right now.

She has aligned herself with Biden's policy regarding genocide. She has taken sides on this already. She has sided with Netanyahu. Hence what Moore said.

I disagree with your entire analysis...

It's absurd to suggest that Harris has remained neutral regarding Gaza.
