    “The Terminally Online Self-Proclaimed ‘Leftist’ Brigade, note the quotes, often decry everyone as not pure enough”

    “Oh, so you think this is representative of ALL LEFTISTS???”

    [looks at name of comm]

    I’m only saying this so we can focus our efforts on improvements, also why can’t we all just get along. All replies must be positive, or you’re not trying to get along with me. :)

    What irony.

      Comment and review, it’s what we do.

      OP can’t change the tide, don’t reply.

        I literally created this space, and I decree infighting counterproductive. This is a place where idealism is gauche, and we dedicate our limited time on this planet to figuring out an actionable strategy to accomplish the goals leftists tend to agree on.

        It’s very pragmatic. Practical tips for two party perceptions!

        Yes. If you don’t have a two party perception of the United States electoral system, you’re a fool. Yes, we’d certainly like a system that supports more than two parties. Yes, most people are not adequately represented by either party. Yes, there are plenty of non-partisan practical actions you can take.

        But if your perspective ignores the significance of the two parties, pragmatically you are as the kids say “cooked”. That’s why we focus on practical tips for paving the way for real leftism through practical tips.

        If that’s not your vibe, there are plenty of other, less pragmatic, leftist comms.
