Hey look, someone trying to prove my point.
They're right, you're a moron and a coward
Based on what? The fact that I don't fall over myself to agree with whatever the leftist opinion-du-jour is? Comments like yours are specifically why the leftist movement is doomed to failure. It's a shame, since most the ideas are good, just too many self-righteous assholes are the vocal face of it.
Wordy and self-aggrandizing but basically yeah, you even admit the ideas are good and that the only reason you pretend otherwise is because you don't like the people telling you them, get the fuck over yourself and start being correct about things
Can you even read? I said the left has an attitude problem, just like the right does. That says absolutely fuck-all about how I feel about the actual ideas behind leftism.
"Attitude problem" translation you're a fucking toddler
So I say the leftist community has an issue with how they keep attacking everyone who doesn't seem to agree with everything they say, and your only response has been name-calling. Yet somehow that makes me a toddler? Whatever. Enjoy being angry.
If you're not angry you're either stupid or evil
Getting strong Know-Nothing vibes of this whole thread. No real ideological thesis or central position. Just a bunch of hollow "I'm a free thinker because I hate you" reactionary slop.
Reminds me of the old joke about the conservative being whatever the opposite of a liberal is, updated daily.
I'm very purposely trying to keep my opinions about policy points out of it, because that's not what I was ever taking issue with, and it would only serve to completely derail the conversation.
All I've ever been taking issue with is the discourse itself. The US has a two party system, which is inherently going to encourage a very "us vs them" mentality. When people immediately jump to name calling, ridicule, and general verbal abuse at the first hint of disagreement, it's only making things worse.
