Agreed, but I see a lot of supposed leftists that seem like they just want to do the first one.
You know there isn't an entrance exam right? There is plenty of people that want to charge the Bastille, just because they claim to be on the left doesn't mean that they speak for the majority, or even the minority, it's often just their view.
But it does become very irritating when even the left wing options seems to be quite right wing. I can totally see why people become disenfranchised. I don't think there's ever a point in not voting, it can never hurt, but it also might not help if that's all your prepared to do.
Even the Pope says that it is not enough to simply say you have prayed, you also have to act.
Which is probably the first and last time I'll ever agree with anything the Pope says.
Yeah, don't mistake my criticism of armchair leftists for all leftists. I certainly fall pretty far on the communist/socialist spectrum compared to what passes for the American left. But at this point, I have more respect for normie liberals who are just getting radicalized enough to take action, even if the action is just supporting a more progressive primary candidate, over online leftists who just mock them and argue theory.
