    It’s extremely condescending towards leftists from a vague sense of liberal superiority, like an out of touch talk show host or establishment dem.

      Yeah, exactly. If liberals were willing to treat leftists respectfully as political equals when they make their case, they’d probably get much better results than the current approach of acting really indignant about leftists not falling into line.

          More likely they’ll call you a Russian bot, because they don’t actually think that the Republican Party as an institution is bad, they just think it has been subverted by scheming foreigners.

            No, radlibs, I don’t want a “strong republican party” as an opposition to “keep us in check.” The ones I love and care for aren’t privledged enough to play with that kind of fire. I want cooperation and a movement for leftist organization.
