They 100% believe that leftists owe them our allegiance, yes, but they will never, ever support any actually leftist cause unless they think they can personally benefit from doing so. And they'll do anything they can to keep leftists from having any say. So no, they're definitely not on my side, even though they think that I should be on theirs if I wasn't so deluded.

And that's why the idea this dipshit is peddling today, that Centrist Dems are just too passionate about causes to be effective and need to focus on being more detached and strategic, is so fucking laughable.

Oh yeah. Clearly the problem with modern politics is that the fire and passion isn't tilted hard enough to the right.

At some point you have to question why there are so many "woah the Democrats need to calm down" articles when the Democrats are some kind of mysterious rumored boogeyman at this point.

"Have you ever met a liberal?"
"No, thank God, but I have a cousin who says he saw one in the city and it refused to serve him coffee."
"Dear GOD."

There is such a thing as being more batshit insane than average batshit insane.

And then there's those who humour the batshit insane...
One day recently, Burnside, accompanied by a reporter, drove around town dressed in a shirt featuring Hitler’s face as the main design. None of the locals he chatted with objected to his attire.

City council president Roy Hunt insisted that this reflected the town’s generous spirit.

“We’re a laid-back town, and we’re gonna be nice to everybody,” Hunt said. “I’ve known Danny for twenty years. If you were in town and you walked around with him, you’re right, he’ll be welcome in every store. . . . If you’re nice, people will be nice to you 98 percent of the time.”

“If he were to put something up that said kill all members of a race, in my opinion that would be crossing the line, but he doesn’t have that sign up,” Hunt said.

If you ever feel it necessary to specify that, you might want to sit back and ruminate on things a spell. Note that 'crossing the line' generally implies being just on the wrong side of it, on balance. No biggie.

Allegedly it's fake/a parody? But... If you can't tell the difference, does it matter?
