Because I said there's no united front with social democrats because they aren't leftists.

I do not even.

    I said there’s no united front with social democrats because they aren’t leftists.

    There's a fundamental problem with going into a conversation, pointing at a vague niche internally devisive term, and then crowing about how you'll NEVER align with them because they aren't TRUE BELIEVERS.

    Because... yes you will. At the end of the day, if you've got a crowd of anti-war activists assembling on the front lawn of some congressman's building, which one of you assholes is going to pick up and go home the moment a guy in a DSA hat shows up?

    When you've got a food drive for the struggling members of your community, and somebody shows up in a car with a "IN THIS HOUSE" bumper sticker on the back, what are you going to do? Send them away? No you fucking aren't.

    If you're trying to protect your neighborhood from some thuggish cops or creepy sexpest landlords, and a few kids sporting Bernie Sanders t-shirts show up to join the fight, how are you going to respond? Are you going to shout at them for being electoralist? Are you going to point a gun at them and tell them to leave? Not unless you're a fucking psycho.

    So drop the Terminally Online Act. None of this shit is serious.
