Nevermind that AOC is a shit choice too, but who in their right-mind would prefer a Biden or Shapiro over even a nominally progressive option?

I honestly thought they’d read the sarcasm

    I wonder if it’s because you are one of the only users here that goes out of their way to try and explain things to libs without being confrontational. Don’t be deterred by the haters, that’s what they want

      That’s part of it, they said as much and described my, and I quote, “so-called niceness” as essentially manipulation. I think it’s more of a post-hoc justification to internally justify hating me so much. Like, if I am actually being genuine, then they look like a huge asshole, and because they are extremely anticommunist yet think of themselves as a Leftist, they need to keep that internal facade up to justify themselves as a leftist.

      That’s all psychonalysis bullshit though, I have no idea who they are or how they actually feel, but it’s the most logical explanation for their actions IMO.

        Yes, you could be correct about that. It is a very common way liberals backwards solve for their preconceived opinions. This is the danger of idealism, if I assume the idea I already believe in has to be true, any evidence to the contrary must be fake and evil and therefore the easiest to reject without investigation. You must be a sociopathic con artist to believe in “authoritarianism” but also be nice and have reasonable takes. Certainly can’t be me, I believe in the good idea
