Extreme leftist don't vote then wonder why a candidate doesn't try to earn their vote.

No, your feelings don't hurt me. Unless you can provide some fact based evidence, you are simply sharing your ignorant feelings.

Just go scroll through these forums and you can see a large amount of leftists who clearly think strategic abstention is the way. They are morons but it doesn't change what is on this website.

Are you able to differentiate between facts and feelings?
A few idiots in a forum aren't representative of a larger group. Unless you can back that with data you are projecting your bias on a microscopic sample size.

I've seen 40 years of leftists shooting themselves in the foot by not participating. It's also been 40 years of basically no real progress left. Almost like if you make no effort you will get no results.

These are still not facts, but your own experiences. You actually don't know the difference do you?

I could say that in my experience leftists are more politically engaged and that everyone in my circle votes. But this is simply my experience and not representative of actual trends.

I just don't like talking out my ass

Edit: clarity

Judging by my experiences the majority of leftists are pedantic assholes who do more to sabotage their interests than capital ever could this is simply my experience and not representative of actual trends. I started my second statement with "I've seen" hows does that indicate im speaking out of anything more than personal experience? You should up your reading game.

  • We are responding to a comment which states leftists don't vote
  • You stated plainly that it was the truth
  • You backed your position with personal anecdotes, while providing no evidence to back your position.

So no, you stated that your perception was truth. Then attempted to back it with your experiences.

Good effort on the backpedal. I'm not sure you should be throwing stones about reading comprehension.

Do you have a mouse in your pocket? Who is "we"? I don't see any real leftist politicians in the US. We have elections. If no one votes then the candidates you want don't get elected. I know its difficult to understand for you but it's truly not that complicated. Your kind would rather keep pretending you matter while sitting on the side lines and talking shit about anyone doing anything productive at all.

Do you even remember the thread you are replying to? I highlighted it well for you.

I suggest you read it again.
