Clearly folks on the left need to double down on cancel-culture, finger-wagging, and shaming people in to compliance. After all, who cares if MAGA Republicans get to stay in power forever because the left can’t win an election? Human rights are over-rated anyways.
No, what really matters is that at the end of the day, left-wingers are secure in knowing that they are correct and righteous, and are better human beings than anyone who’s not as far-left as they are. Always remember: Ideological purity is more important than winning elections.
…And if you believe any of that, then you are a f*cking tool who’s just as responsible for Trump’s rise to power as anyone who voted for him.
Some of them genuinely seem to be in some weird form of denial I can’t understand. I lost a friend from his slide during covid who would fit this. Self identified moderate who only ever defended right wing views and the worst of the grifters.
Okay I read the source now and what I found funny is the part where people describe how “moderates” on dating apps are just conservatives. An observation I can regard as true in my experience, they are just self-aware enough to not be dismissed outright, but not self-aware enough to actually change a thing about themselves and become a better person.
As it should be! After all, self-validation is far more important than winning elections.
Clearly you folks on the left did everything right in the 2024 election, and have no need for improvement. No, it’s those pesky voters who are wrong. Surely, doubling down on the condescending attitudes, the cancel culture, and the ideological purity tests is the way to go.
I mean, who cares if you never win another election ever again? Having the political power to preserve human rights is over-rated anyhow. What’s really important is that you know deep down that you are a better human being than anyone who disagrees with you.

and being condescending to leftists especially when they are correct and it makes you annoyed you can’t come up with good rhetorical counter arguments that hold together logically… is the MOST important!!

There never was, unless you consider supporting desegregation but not interracial marriage a middle ground I guess.
