      I don’t know what you mean by “pure,” nor what value that would have. If Leftists seek to establish some form of Socialism, and Liberals wish to perpetuate and maybe tweak the current system just a bit, then these people are never going to be able to meaningfully work together. “Purity” has nothing to do with it, and never has.

              My dear fellow user, there is no need to be so defensive. No one is going to kill you or shame you because you express your views. I and many others here may even be convinced by you. Your opinion does matter, and so does you, so, there is no need to disregard someone open to discussion just because you diverge in something. If you don’t want to discuss on something, there is always the option to not give these quick-witted responses, saying few words and assuming positions from “the enemy” that the person has never said. No one here is your “enemy”.

              If you really think u/Cowbee is wrong, and wish for other people to understand you, articulate your answers. Say in a comprehensible way WHY he is wrong, instead of making arguments like “oh yes because my opinion is shit and you are the only pure socialist” or some ironic weak shit like that. We are (mostly) all adults, there is no need to engage in childish behavior, and you should not expect that we will understand what you mean by saying “his definition is wrong” without saying what “definition”.

              If you really think that there is no convincing anyone here, because we are all hopeless mfs or smth, just stop arguing and save yourself the time and sanity.

                I think that condescending users who only care to label and deride aren’t worth talking to, so I finally blocked that guy. It’s unfortunate that his attitude is so common.

                  what attitude? cowbee has been nothing but polite in every reply to you. and what do you mean by label and deride? it’s as though you’re replying to the wrong comments because none of this makes any sense.

                    The post’s existence is what I’m talking about; that user spends their life hating “liberals” and assigning that label to people they’ve exchanged a sentence with. I’m done here, you can stop responding now.

              Can you elaborate in any way? I thought I gave a fairly well-thought out response to why division exists between Leftists and Liberals in the first place, and you responded with vague character assassinations. I don’t know what to make of this, really, it just seems silly.

                Unity means Vote Blue no Matter Who,
                unless they’re to the left of the center-right,
                in which case we spare no expense or moral compunction to primary the fuck out of them.
