I think you’re reading the room accurately. Nothing flops here like exposing childish extreme views to reality. If you’re not an extremist for their side, you’re worse than a monster.
I don’t think anyone here is an extremist I think they’re all so pigeonholed in their respective flavors of progressiveness that they forget other people have slightly different views.
Thats my biggest gripe with leftists.
We could agree on 80% of things, but that 20% that we don't is the thing they'll obsess over.
Yeah, usually that person you agree with 80% of the time is called an ally.
Precisely. But the biggest defining trait of 'online leftists' is they're much more concerned about fighting amongst themselves, than fighting republicans.
While blaming democrats for their own incompetence as a political block.
Yep. Literally without fail.
The party that would absolutely welcome their views into the party they refuse to participate, while also complaining that said party doesn't try and court them.
Like, you don't get courted with policy and with seats in congress if you don't show up. It's the height of delusion and entitlement.
So you're delusional for real, then, eh? Like, did you seriously not pay attention last election or what?
American Democrats aren't a good example here as they aren't a leftist party, they are centrist. Generally though I get what you are saying.
The democrats would never welcome communism into their party
Because fully embracing communism would mean disbanding the party
They welcome our views just not our voices, most especially our tone when we desperately plea for help to be able to keep on living.
