This page is nothing but a bunch of insecure fragile liberals fighting straw men. Are you so worried about valid and consistent leftist criticisms of your liberal candidate that you would prefer to silence all oppression? You're the idiots with bandages on your ears but with a blue hat instead.
Why is it shocking that genuine leftists (who also hate Trump) would have leftist-perspective criticisms of Kamala Harris too? Should everyone left of center be completely silenced? Is the Democrat candidate so weak and fragile that leftist criticisms will take her down?
This is nothing but tribal liberals trying to shut down progressive discourse.
You're all shockingly cultist. Holy shit this place is a disaster.
So calling anyone that's liberal but not leftist a blue MAGA isn't a straw man? It's intentionally inflammatory and wrong. It sounds like you're being elitist, even if that's not your intention.
I agree that the average US liberal isn't progressive enough and I don't agree with a lot of the liberal circlejerk in these comments, but your argument is just as flawed and cultist.
You're generalizing what I said, you can see plainly that I was referring to the people behaving like that in this thread.
This is the depth of analysis I've come to expect from you all, though.
I'm literally a leftist -_-
I just disagree with arguing and insulting anyone who is a bit less progressive than me. I prefer to not see the world as black and white
that's a fair point, granted. I'm also generalizing and it seems this thread is evolving somewhat but the first dozen comment threads here were liberals taking swings at straw men and that's a pattern I've seen in every thread.
not all liberals are like this but this community is staggeringly cult-like and paranoid.
oh NOW suddenly and always the leftists have critiques of liberals even though the one who couldn't win was replaced by one who could hopefully win, their consistent ideology can only mean they're Russian agents
