    I seriously wish leftist unity was more of a thing. And no, liberals, I’m not talking about you.

        Liberals are only considered “the left” in the USA. I am not in the USA.

          Like you have a point, it just feels like it’s against the spirit of the post.

          I see liberals (at least in the US) as folks that mean well, but maybe aren’t so informed. They can have a seat at my table.

            There’s only so many times that liberals can side with right wingers on issues that I care about before I recognize them as enemies.

            Although I recognize that people can change. But those unwilling to are not welcome to me. At that point they stop being liberals anyway.

              I totally respect having boundaries like that. Some folks just won’t hear a word you say.

              Any reasoning that is mainly centered around giving people specific labels, and then making sweeping generalizations about what everyone with that label does and why it’s therefore okay to hate anyone you have chosen to apply that label to because of things some other people have done, is almost always some bullshit.

              Also, yes, it’s ironic that you’re posting this under their specific meme.

          Almost like different countries are unique with unique people, places and problems… but that seems to be a nuanced idea so you’d probably reject it

            Youre right. The United States of America is so special we should have our own political spectrum.

            Let’s call it… the imperial political spectrum. That way you can call democrats leftists on the imperial political spectrum!

            Happy?
