(57,785 posts)than they do themselves. How about your canvassing? Do you go into East LA or Long Beach and tell those voters are Third Way, too low to merit your approval? Is there anyone who meets your standards for acceptable human beings? Or is it just Democrats you encounter online that you treat so dismissively? And for what sin exactly?
What exactly is so leftist about you? Is there an issue you care about? The only thing I see you post about is how much you dislike Hillary Clinton and, it seems, most Democratic voters. If that is enough to be considered a liberal (your notion of the sum total of the left), that would make the GOP far left. Would leftism entail actually caring about something besides contests among political elites? You've already been clear you see issues of social justice as beneath you, yet I don't recall your saying what it is you actually care about. If we were all acceptable Democrats, what would we be doing, besides trying to make a living and get by, of course. What would we have to do to become acceptable to you?
I remember you were one of the people who invaded my thread on Marxist theory to declare it was some clandestine plot to get Clinton elected, when of course it was nothing of the sort, didn't mention her and wasn't conceived as about her in anyway. It did compare Marist theory to a Tea Bag right-winger some were insisting was leftist. You didn't like that. (Funny when the contempt people have for Democrats doesn't extend to the GOP.) This was many months ago. Not quite sure which of you denounced the Marxists in the OP as centrist, but it was pretty funny. Clearly you're not keen on leftist political theory, so I fail to see how it is that you are so certain you are so much better than everyone else.
