Yeah .ml has always been special with these hot takes. I empathize with their reservations around the broader dem party it is still where the progressive movement lives. Its hard to see them as serious when they are more concerned with purity testing. Like I get it. It would be nice to have the most gung ho types in congress and senete, but even a “shit lib dem” is going to move slower on all the things they care about than a crusader R. I guess its easy to wait for the right candidate when you are not under siege.

Yeah .ml has always been special with these hot takes. almost every time I see .world there has been nothing but reactionary, bigoted and chauvinistic takes. Its hard to see them as serious when they are more concerned with purity testing. Yeah telling people off for voting for genocide sure is purity testing. I guess its easy to wait for the right candidate when you are not under siege. Like every conflict that Amerika has started where they lay siege upon them. Even now, Cuba is under siege and has been since they revolutionized many, many decades ago. And let me tell you, it’s not just Republicans that are doing this. After all, Obama sure loved droning weddings in Yemen, and he loves the open slave market he opened up in Libya after destroying it.

“Purity testing” is when you don’t think people should vote for genocide or more deportations or people who do fuck all to protect marginalised groups, while increasing the police state and furthering the climate apocalypse and warmongering. At this point, what’s left for you?
