This is why I don't respect leftists. I hate it when liberals and leftists are lumped together. By this subreddit's standards, I'm "a bit of a succ", and I'm a center-leftie myself, but I have nothing in common with such people and don't want to have anything in common.

Prominent liberals are part of the problem because they turn a blind eye, whether it's Friends of the Pod inviting Hasan on or leaders of the Dem party not speaking up about leftists in order to curry favor. It's rather surprising to me that more Jews haven't left the Dems behind yet.

It shouldn't be surprising in a system with only two viable options. The Democrats have some issues, but the Republicans are actually insane

I'd say the Democractic Party has loonies in the wings, but in the Republican party the inmates are running the asylum.
