People on the left were so desperate for the representation that the center does everything it can to deny thdm that they were willing to ignore some pretty glaring red flags.
The left is sad that a republican is gonna win now. Centrists are happy.
There have been plenty of criticism aimed at corporations, for example, and how their support for progressive movements of being mainly performative, such as pride month, often described “pinkwashing” or “rainbow-washing.”
And that’s scratching surface.
Moderates weren’t happy as soon as his first scandals came out, but the left cried foul at any criticism. The only reason they are happy now is because all of you with your lame ass critical support of him has been exposed and you’re running like rats from the sinking ship. They are NOT happy about the election itself, which the leftists darling candidate has completely fucked up. If you want representation then find someone viable to represent you, balls in your court, next time maybe you can find someone that isn’t a an obvious trainwreck of a human being, but that seems to come with the territory.

You really can’t imagine why the left might no longer trust centrists’ motives, can you?
Ohhh I forgot, leftists are babies without any agency, they are just reactive to the moderates, and moderates should know better and act like the grown ups in the room so the babies don’t do anything stupid. My bad!
If moderates wanted the trust, they shouldn’t have broken their campaign promises then turned around and supported genocide.

See, this right fucking here is exactly it. I’m not American but this would be my exact frustration with the situation if I were.
