    You must understand, the Russian and Chinese agents who seek to divide us are now turning Democrats against each over by bisecting them into “the left” and an ancient definition of “liberals” that would include George Bush Sr among other right wing characters.

    That what the aim of these posts is. Any time you see “the left” pitted against “liberals”, you can safely ignore whatever bullshit else is on the page.

      Or maybe Democrat policy deserves legitimate criticism after repeated failures? No, it must be those scary foreigners.

      Are these Russian and Chinese agents who want to divide “us” (who do you mean with “us”?) In the room with us right now?

      Any time you see “the left” pitted against “liberals”, you can safely ignore whatever bullshit else is on the page.

      I guess I can ignore about 150 years of history then, huh? Liberalism is a right-wing ideology, homie.

        My favorite feature of being a lefty is how well we get along with each other.

        My favorite lefties work on themselves and seek to genuinely understand the roots of any disagreement.

        At the best of times, they cut through the crap by aligning with me on the basic values we all hold. Such as:

        • Don’t kill babies to get free real estate.
        • People who rape kids need to be stopped.
        • Don’t intentionally starve the population of your country because the potatoes they grew fetched a higher price internationally.

        Isn’t this everyone’s experience?
