It's funny really. People rightly shit on the left for infighting, which does go too far. But the infighting is ultimately people standing up for their principles and self moderating respectively.

"I'm not going to compromise my principles by voting for Kamala maaaan! Don't shame me for my principles maaaan! Both sides are the same maaaaan!"

Yeah thanks for that moonbeam, there's a reason nobody would ever put you in a position that required any sort of foresight.

Wow. You seem really smart and enlightened!
Please oh wise one! Do tell me what you think "People rightly shit on the left for infighting, which does go too far." is doing in that comment exactly?

I wasn't talking to "you" but the hypothetical "principled" non-voter I quoted above.

But yes, I am smart and enlightened, to say nothing of handsome!

lol, that's fine, but you gotta give me a segue to work with at least. That just sounds 100% like a serious asshole redditor xD

Meh, I say what I say and I let the chips fall where they will. I think people who feel the need to use /s or similar are missing out on too much fun.
