    One of the especially cursed aspects of American politics is how liberals get to pretend they're "leftists".

      Conservatives think John McCain is half-communist.

      Liberals think they're DemSuccs, because they once voted for a guy who said he liked Medicare.

      DemSuccs think they're Revolutionary Socialists, because they once block-walked for a woman who said she wanted to Defund the Police.

      Socialists think they're doing Communism, because they once split the check at lunch.

      Communists think everyone they know is a reactionary who is just trying to play it cool until the next counter-revolution, and that any kind of organizing is just an invitation to be arrested or killed.
