RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

I never really understand these comments. Like what do you all expect exactly? We already think the Republicans are bad. They're the bad guys. They're the villains. We expect them to do the bad thing. They're all fascists who are trying to murder a lot of us.

I just don't understand what you're expecting from me with these kind of comments. Congratulations? I mean saying that most of you don't vote with Republicans is like bragging to me that most of you haven't raped someone today. You want a cookie?

Jesus Christ buddy, why are you sitting there thinking of rape?

There's lots of things you don't understand, like how those "bad-guy" Republicans depend on the "good-guy" Democrats to pass their legislation as a matter of routine.

If you sit at the table with rapists, aren't you a rapist? Or nazi. Whatever.

They're the same guys, and those labels demonstrate why this simple "good guy/bad guy" routine is so successful (and has been since the days of Rome).
