    Get bent. You moralizing keyboard pseudo-activitist.

    Why aren’t you out right now on a picket line? Why are you wasting time on a forum, instead of helping the homeless? Why aren’t you…

    How far are you willing to take your arbitrary purity tests? Instead of supporting someone who is intending to support an action you clearly also support e.g. cancelling Prime, you’re lecturing them why they should have done it sooner. Or why their choice is less moral then yours.

    I bet that if Ted Cruz came out tomorrow to be the deciding vote on Medicare For All, and publicly stating his intent to do so, you’d scream about how Dems shouldn’t support any bill that has the support of such a scumbag. Because to you, the purity test is more important than the actual result and impact.

    And if you’re not American, then insert whatever relevant politician and issue would be comparable to your county. The point still stands.

      This is the best reply to some smug fart-sniffing “oh THAT’s why you etc etc but WHY NOT OTHER THINGS?!” bullshit I’ve ever read.

      Their points are still valid, being smug doesn’t erase that. And your being an aggressive cunt about it doesn’t further the conversation, it just entrenches people.

        So being a smug self-important douche doesn’t entrench people, but calling out their smugness in a manner that you deem too aggressive does?

        Got it.

          Pretty sure I recognized their smugness, but sure i f you want you’re both divisive.

          Learn from it or don’t.

          You’re an internet poet. I want you there whenever I read these bullshit grandstanding keyboard activist posts.

        Glancing at your comment history makes it pretty obvious that typing out angry comments is the only respite you have from a life where you feel worthless and lack the ability to take control enough to get out of your pit of despair.

        Normally, I’d take pity, but I genuinely think the world will get slightly better when you finally stroke out while hammering out yet another mean spirited and pointless comment that adds nothing of value, just like you.
