    I don’t think anyone here is an extremist I think they’re all so pigeonholed in their respective flavors of progressiveness that they forget other people have slightly different views.

      Anyone who supports communism is an extremist relative to the rest of society. At least this is the case in the whole of USA and Europe.

      Thats my biggest gripe with leftists.

      We could agree on 80% of things, but that 20% that we don’t is the thing they’ll obsess over.

          Precisely. But the biggest defining trait of ‘online leftists’ is they’re much more concerned about fighting amongst themselves, than fighting republicans.

              Yep. Literally without fail.

              The party that would absolutely welcome their views into the party they refuse to participate, while also complaining that said party doesn’t try and court them.

              Like, you don’t get courted with policy and with seats in congress if you don’t show up. It’s the height of delusion and entitlement.

                So you’re delusional for real, then, eh? Like, did you seriously not pay attention last election or what?

                The democrats would never welcome communism into their party

                Because fully embracing communism would mean disbanding the party

                They welcome our views just not our voices, most especially our tone when we desperately plea for help to be able to keep on living.

                American Democrats aren’t a good example here as they aren’t a leftist party, they are centrist. Generally though I get what you are saying.

      Maybe so. Views tend to become simpler out at the extremes, and I think we have a lot of young people here who are drawn to simple, direct views. I mean shit I’m drawn to simplicity as well, but once you’ve had to manage things out in the real world, the first thing you realize is how complicated they are.
