With party leadership being like it is, “everyone just needs to be nicer to each other” is functionally identical to “resign yourself to permanent irrelevancy while the people who supported genocide tell you who to vote for.”
I’ve met enough to know that centrists demand unquestioning support of genocidal candidates. You go down that road, it defines you as a person in your entirety forever.

I had something more like “try to approach liberals with kindness and understanding” in mind.
Because the current approach doesn’t seem to be working.
You expect no behavior change from the genocide-and-nothing-else wing.
The party leadership? I don’t. The voter base, though…
You expect the anti-genocide voters to be kind to everyone who supports genocide, with no alteration in behavior from the latter whatsoever.
I think most Democrat voters don’t explicitly support genocide. (And no, voting for the “lesser evil” doesn’t count.)
Centrist democrats support absolutely nothing else.
How many Democrat voters do you know?
