Maybe if you weren't such a fucking prick, you wouldn't push away prospective comrades. Big fucking tent you got there boss. FYI those weren't 5 to 12 million socialists this weekend. And the only reason I stopped identifying as a socialist, then a dem soc, then leftist, is bc of your fucking purity test bullshit. Go ahead and delete this and silence my voice and perspective like every fucking open minded leftist on this site. You're pathetic. I've been in the movement for almost 30 years, have literally bled for this democracy, had guns ground into my temple, close range rubber bullet wounds, burns from tear gas canisters. Fuck. You. Your exclusionary crap is gross and you're not going to have a seat at the table on the other side of all this. Useful idiots buying into the dichotomy of the oligarchs, pointing fingers at the other 99% while we all get rolled on. This country's culture reflects its government. You're not outside of it. You just bunch everyone else on the opposing side of you and recreate the same polarized dichotomy. You will never internalize a word of this bc you're closed minded arrogant pricks who deserve the disdain of actual working class people. Kinda like the DNC and their old base.... You don't actually care about people with empathy and compassion. Just the next iteration of Bernie Bros. And fuck off, I have always voted for him and left candidates up and down the ballot except general presidential elections, for literally decades. I helped primary Pelosi bc I'm apparently too left for fucking San Francisco. But I'm "another idiot with a stupid question." I am so sick of you fake fucks. Go get angry about it instead of reflecting like a little baby living in mommy's basement. You're not a fucking hero. You live in an echo chamber. As bad as the military pointing guns at the very neighbors they're supposed to protect in spite of their differences.
