    Just because AOC calls herself a “democratic socialist” doesn’t mean she is. If a chicken calls itself an eagle, does that make it so?

    We need a third party. If Bernie had had the balls to run Independent, he would have kicked both Trump’s and Hillary’s asses. Most people in the U.S. are in the middle, the real middle, not the bullshit choice of Nazi versus slightly nicer Nazi.

      Lol that’s just factually not true. A third party contributes to the spoiler effect. In our current voting system, a third party kingmakes the least desirable choice. Running third party without voting system reform is political suicide.

        It’s my opinion, so it’s not “factually untrue” or empirically true. You calling it factually untrue is itself factually untrue. I’m 54, so I’ve seen a lot more of politics than you have (I’m guessing you’re 30-something). Since you’re obviously too smart to be this dumb, you’re most likely a shill, which is even worse than being a MAGA r*tard.

          So left and progressive that you think it’s okay to use an ableist slur like that as long as you put a little censor in there. Cute. I wish I were a shill. I would love to call out cunts like you on the internet and get paid for it. You make the left worse. That’s my point.

            It’s fake leftist like you who make the left worse, idiot. You think that accusing me of being an “ableist” makes you more of a leftist, that’s a huge part of the problem, moron. See, I can use other words, like idiot and moron that are not considered “ableist slurs” that were used in the same vein as said slur you may be referring to.
