    Yeah, perhaps "baby leftist" was too kind a term.

    Really Vaushites are just straight up Libs, heck even that may be too kind a word.

      Yeah baby leftist isn't derogatory at all - it's someone who is just starting their good faith leftist learning pathway

      Many Vaushites are baby leftists. How many of us worshipped the ground Chomsky walked on? Or even thought Obama was a Social Democrat? Or thought Bernie was an actual Socialist rather than materially compromised to the point of inaction? It takes time and disillusionment, and a lot of Vaushites will fall away as they recognise the contradictions in his arguments. Some back to lib or chud-land, but many into leftism proper.

        True, but Obama and Bernie also aren't cringe ass drama streamer pedophiles. I'm kinda sympathetic to people who fall for actually charismatic hucksters. If you fall for a huckster who's as charismatic as your creepy uncle who not invited to thanksgiving anymore... I'm sorry there's like something deeply wrong with you that I don't think is truly changeable and if you realize the error of you ways perhaps your fate shouldn't be redemption but like a cabin in a very isolated place.

      I was a lib, too, once. They're not hopeless. Or at least some of them aren't.

        There's a difference between a bog standard lib and a diehard vaushite
