    I’ve seen similar comments from adjacent libs

    Sample :

    The purity crowd will not forgive any positive interaction with “bad” people. It reminds me of Jehovah’s Witnesses demanding people disassociate from “worldly” people and if you refuse to do so they will excommunicate you. Political hobbyists demanding purity actively sabotage the movements they claim to be a part of but their actions show they just want to be part of a social club. I sleep better at night by assuming these people are teenagers.

    Sample 2 :

    I’ll just say this, and be a little mean about it, if you don’t go vote for Biden you’re a fucking idiot. Yeah, he sucks and he’s a dumb old man. But he isn’t a fascist. Not voting for Biden, is a vote for fascism. Republicans will take control. They will implement project 2025. They will make it illegal for LGBT people to exist in public life. And it will be the last election we ever have.

    And yeah, I hear you, “but muh Palestine”. I get it. But do you really fucking think that Trump is going to be favorable to towards them? Do you really want a fascist with fucking nukes in the office when Israel is asking for aid? When Russia is still trying to overtake Ukraine? Just don’t be a dumbass. Go vote for Biden. We can deal with getting him out in 2028. If we vote for him now, we can have an election in 2028 with someone else at least.

    They just cry and moan about how commies are throwing them out of groups cause they support genocide. Pathetic.

      Nooo you can never kick me out of a group just for my politics that’s red fash tankism!!!

      Anyway these terrorists who wore a Palestine flag pin and said Israel should stop killing kids need to be banned from having a job, going to school, and existing in public. Oh also dump millions into primarying anyone who disagrees.
