    Exactly there’s leftists in America but no left political power, and you can’t win as a leftist because it’s like, “oh you don’t support the government that supports a fascist genocide? Well that’s how we get a fascist government!” When liberals shame leftists, who they probably agree with on every issue, for the failures of the Democrat party, I consider that more of a confession. Shaming your political allies for not being hypocritical enough rather than the party that doesn’t deliver is a pathetic position to be in.

    The left isn’t stupid and understands strategic voting and the current state of US politics. Liberals are so quick to be condescending and love to liberal-splain how “if you don’t vote Democrat we get Trump” ad infinitum. As if leftists don’t understand the most basic logic. A leftist might unhappily vote Democrat out of pure strategic interest vs a liberal might take grandiose pride in their Democrat vote.
