Chris Broome: It’s also why “leftist” politicians are abandoned by the left as soon as they’re elected. Governing is compromise even under the most ideal of circumstances and that is treason. The only politicians continuously supported by the left are incapable of using their power.

Lot of people on here seem to assume that the US military is basically as bad as US police when it comes to “being totally dominated by frothing MAGA freaks.” This is absolutely NOT the case.

people forget that the military specifically targets poor kids for recruitment, using benefits/stability as a big draw, and therefore you have a lot of people in the military who would not otherwise choose to be there

and of course there are people who will moralize that decision by saying that folks don’t have a right to live comfortably through that route, but I just also don’t believe that folks born into situations they cannot control should be forced to suffer to ensure their morality remains pure

Me neither

sometimes leftism is very catholic coded

girl it's worse than that. at least if you're catholic and you fuck up theres a path available to correct yourself

yeah there’s quite a bit of “leftism” that doesn’t seem to be built on the idea of community, and I don’t like that at all! and I think that’s why fuck ups are deemed “unacceptable” by some

Think about this a lot, this vibe is in so many leftist spaces, once you make what someone deems a mistake you're tainted forever.
