Don't be misled, these are not leftists. It's obvious propaganda from the conservatives, even though maybe some actual leftist drank the kool aid
Speaking of superpositions, this exists in the same space as flat earthers in that there's almost certainly some blend of genuine arguments and trolling but it's impossible to probe which is which.
But all joking aside, the overall point about leftists being susceptible to fratricidal, self-defeating infighting is absolutely genuine, and whatever amount of trolling and hostile propaganda is involved is certainly built on that assumption. If there is something to be learned from this nonsense is that this is a vulnerability and we should be consistently unified about acquiring, supporting and maintaining any remotely left-leaning and/or least right-leaning candidate available in every elected position at every level of democratic governance worldwide as a unified front to make that narrative go away.
The problem with having ideals is that it's difficult to accept you have to stop somewhere. Especially younger people have certainly good intentions, but lack of pragmatism can make it difficult o accept a temporary compromise even when the alternative is a long term catastrophe. But in this case the comparison is between Biden not doing enough against israel and Trump actively supporting it. There is nothing to discuss really. On any other topic Trump is just a plain nazist.
