Centrist democrats refused to stop selling weapons that they knew were being used to commit genocide. They remained steadfast on this one issue while buckling on so many others.

The characterization is accurate, even if it bothers you to see it.

"Centrist democrats are selling guns -" What percentage of centrist democrats have the ability to stop or facilitate a greater degree of human-destruction objects being sold? Is Mrs. Cookie, a fabricated centrist democrat, able to sell weaponry herself? How do you know how she feels on that specific topic? She's a centrist democrat so she must be pro-genocide! Some "democrats" in congress arent COMPLETELY MONOLITHICALLY representative of everyone who voted for them. Or do you agree with every single thing your representative says or does?

The leaders of their wing of the party do. Centrists don't criticize. They don't vote for better candidates in the primaries. They approve.

Ahh so thats what you mean- Indifferent people and idiots. You could say something more along the lines of "Indifference has led to genocide over and over. Harris did not oppose a genocide, relying on that indifference. Dont be indifferent." Its longer than "you support genocide", but its nicer and gets the same basic point across. "Dont support genocide" is also an option, attacking the people whos' minds you want to change/could change isnt productive.

Harris' continuation of Biden's support for genocide inspired indifference in an electorate already jaded by Biden's broken campaign promises. The gaslighting about the economy didn't help either.
