I figured out what's pissing me off about all this hate being thrown on the left. [View all]

I seem to be taking it personally because I consider myself liberal and leftist.

But all these attacks on the left saying that it's imposing right wing policies and going after Obama and all that shit is confusing me.

Did I not get a memo?

But then I thought about it for a second. Wild idea, just stay with me for a second.

What if all of those leftists supporting Trump or Russia or attacking Obama or whatever...

What if they're imposters? What if they're trolls, meant to whip up a fervor against the actual leftists like myself?

I mean, being liberal isn't just a title. It's about your actions. That's what defines you. So if, for example a "leftist" is shouting for Trump to tear it down so we can start over, or if a leftist is saying, women's rights are unimportant, then maybe, JUST MAYBE... They aren't a leftist?

Regarding Bernie's recent actions, he's still leftist. He does care about women's rights. He might not just be wording it as eloquently as he could and MAYBE (because I'm not a genius) his philosophy of "economic reform first and everything else will fall in place perfectly" is right, maybe it's not. But that's for the political analysts and historians to talk about.

Point is or TL;DR, Stop attacking the left for bad leftists or imposters actions. Every movement has false entities that seek to make them look bad. I think that happened to BLM and I KNOW it's happened to we feminists.

If it doesn't quack like a leftist, it ain't a real leftist.

Thanks for reading.
