Fuck this purity test bullshit
"Bro Bernie had no chance in 2016 bro. Bro Hillary wouldve been the best president bro Bernie would've sucked bro. I love the Clinton's bro look at my Clinton Hat and Clinton Shirt. Make America Play Sax again bro"
you rn.
You realize OP put Bernie in the fake leftist category, right?
the honest answer is no.
Congrats on typing a bunch of stupid shit that no one says or believes, least of all me.
So what are you trying to say here with "purity test" then, because I would rather not have the old guard DNC lib "left" over the socdem/anarchist/communist alternatives.
Give me reason to think investing time here isn't a waste. You made up some person I have to prove I'm not. Fuck that.
“purity test” and it’s not wanting centrists to call themselves leftists
Fuck radlibs whining about leftism not accommodating their privileged fantasies.
Those who sow division reap what they sow.
At the moment, I'm not talking about "leftists" or "liberals" or whatever other dividing line you want to define.
I'm talking about you, personally, right now.
Solidarity is the only way forward. We prevail when we lift each other up.
Every other choice is backward.
Solidarity is not ignoring very serious political differences.
Liberals talk all day about tolerance, but they avoid solidarity and target leftism.
the parable of the scorpion applies here. liberals will always sell us out to fascists when they get the chance or we make too much progress.
90% of what's going on with people like you psychologically is you just need to feel smarter than others. No one has ever heard the term "radlib" and no one cares about it. You're not smarter than anyone here.
Radlib is simply a correct term for someone entering leftist spaces trying to inject liberalism.
This feels like a self report.
