    There are definitely people on here that keep shitting on those not as extreme as they are. Constantly complaining about liberals not being left enough.

    If you dont support communism at their personal definition, you aren’t left enough

    If you don’t support communism and only support socialism within capitalism , you are basically alt-right.

    If you dont support capitalism you are also not left enough (somehow. Yes it’s confusing but apparently some argue this too).

    Honestly it doesn’t matter what you say. Someone on here will say you are the problem with why democracy has failed us.

      It’s just tiresome to see people scream “You’re the reason Trump won!” when they’re in some neon-blue district that goes 80/20 Dem every year regardless of who is on the ballot.

      What wizardry does anyone think “Random Asshole On The Internet” has to swing the election? It’s like liberal candidates are Tinkerbell and they die if you don’t clap hard enough.

      This is exactly the issue.

      And they have such a narrow view of EVERY issue. If you can’t solve EVERYTHING all at once, in EXACTLY the way they want, you may as well be Trump and want to personally murder every Palestinian in Gaza.

      “You don’t understand that guy/lady isn’t going to solve EVERYTHING so let’s not try to repair ANYTHING!”

        “You don’t understand that guy/lady isn’t going to solve EVERYTHING so let’s not try to repair ANYTHING!”

        Maybe they could try something even slightly harsher on the genociders than explicitly unconditional complete support, and see if that convinces anyone?
