    "I don’t understand why you’re arguing against voting for the neoliberals D: " followed by “we’re all leftists here!” is their favorite combo

      Yep got the exact same lecture when I called out the ““leftists”” in question for voting for genocidaires and imperialists for literally nothing since it was very clear they weren’t going to win anyways (and what do you know, all that genocide support they did DID turn out to be all for nothing). All so that they could possibly maybe get some more handouts. It just got comical because they tried to pivot to explaining how voting for the democrats doesn’t equal supporting the democrats??? Like, what??? If that isn’t “real” support then genuinely wtf is.

      Leftism is when you bow down to imperialists to get free stuff, I guess.

        I had to re read this part because I was convinced I missed some words but even after reading it again I’m still confused by it

      I unironically heard some “socialist” (they felt more like a conservative pretending to be a socialist) say something like “we are all socialists here” after I pointed out them complaining about cancel culture or something else.
