The constant divisiveness and purity testing between auth lefts who pretend that they represent all lefts and accuse liberal lefts of being centrists or even of being liberal right is really fucking up the dialogue and (occasionally) my perceptions of what falls where.
Thank you for weighing in and reminding me to double check that I wasn’t having my perceptions influenced by the dialogue around me.
