one last thing before i move on from being divisive (lmao) & onto lighter things, maybe: before socialist organizing, i used to canvass for the dems for years in two states — ny & ga. ive spoken to literally thousands of people who were all over the place in terms of ideology

so i dont have much patience for leftists who require some unrealistic ideal of purity or who refuse to engage with people who even mildly disagree with them. its counterproductive & endlessly annoying

if this is some sort of exclusive club for you then just say that! but you aint no comrade of mine
