    This is what happens when the left doesn’t show up to vote because there aren’t any candidates far enough left in their opinion. The people that actually vote will be further right on the ideological spectrum and the right most candidate gets elected.

      Fuck off with that. That’s what happens when people in the centre sacrifice everything to keep the liberal agenda going, even if it means fascism is the next step.

      Liberals always make compromises with their right, and never with their left. That is the problem. The left is warning of the problem for decades.

      It’s funny because on the right you’ve got the incels who won’t date a woman because she has a mole on her leg, but then on the left you’ve got people who won’t vote for someone who meets 95% of their criteria.
