If supporting genocide is a prerequisite of being a leftist, then I guess I’m not a leftist and we’ll have to come up with a new name for supporting a bunch of leftist policies but also opposing genocide. But I’m pretty sure it would be more accurate to say that opposition to genocide is leftist and being willing to support genocide means you’re only pretending to be on the left.
Leftism doesn’t just mean you want the spoils of imperialism to be more equally divided, it means opposition to imperialism altogether. The former is just nationalism. We have more in common with ordinary people of other countries around the world (including the ones our politicians and media tell us to hate) than we do with the ruling class. People like Trump and Harris are the enemy, and if the enemy won’t come to the negotiating table, then the only thing to do is to oppose them by whatever limited means are available.
You liberals will write off the task of opposing them and treat the current way of doing things as eternal and unchangeable. If you were born under an absolute monarchy, where there were no rules at all to allow changes to the system, would you just give up and say that nothing can be done except to appease the king and hope he’s nice? Ridiculous. Things have changed before, even when they seemed impossible, and they can change again - so long as there’s a will, there’s a way. The problem is just that people like you don’t have the will to change it and so aren’t interested in looking for a way.
You think voting third party and allowing the fascists to take over America is leftist?!
Actually, no, you know it isn’t, because you’re just lying to win the election for your guy trump who promised to send the military on leftists. You never address that, somehow the topic always turns to your favourite topic: why leftists should abstain from choosing the president.
Your voter purity argument is a sham. You think that indirectly causing the fascists to win absolves you of responsibly for them winning. It doesn’t.
