Well said. I’ve watched the left tear things to shreds, and it seems to be mostly online (I hope - though I do know a few of these types IRL). The purity tests and the more-leftist-than-thou and the constant calls to have certain people take a back seat and let the $MINORITY_GROUP do all the speaking is just so tiresome.
I’m white, I’m male, and I’m cishet and I have zero plans to leave, but I have to say that the left is often just terrible at trying to appeal to a broader base. Yes, we get it - all should have a voice. But it gets just a bit tiresome to hear that my voice should somehow matter a bit less because of what boxes I happen to tick off, or that someone else’s voice should matter more because they tick off some box(es). Just as an example…and while demographics are changing, it would be a hell of a lot easier to win elections and effect actual real change if we would stop alienating so many people with this toxic bullshit. And honestly? I think some of the online people are plants that are TRYING to alienate a lot of the potential voting base and turning liberals and leftists into caricatures.
Yeah I cannot stand it when people use that term for the terrorists that attacked our country on J6. Terrorists is probably the most correct term; insurrectionist is the compromise, but calling these assholes “rioters”? WTAF.
Like they just happened to get carried away during a “peaceful protest” and suddenly summoned the gallows, the noose, the zip-ties, had stashes of weapons, comms, prior intel, and not to mention the bombs they placed…
