    If that’s how they feel about basic human rights, then they don’t deserve to have support for their union, either. They are both about respect, and if you’re not willing to give it then you don’t deserve to get it, either.

      I’m just tired of our side attempting to appeal to basic human decency when it’s been more than proven that there isn’t any.

      Regardless of what you think about my or their vote, you need it. You don’t have the luxury of being exclusionary when you’re on the losing side and bleeding support.

      Ah yes, the leftists mortal enemy, the less-idealogically-pure leftist.

      Of the people that care enough to vote, leftists are a clear minority. We need to find people to work with on specific, community-building goals, even if we can’t agree with them on everything (or anything!) else.

        Democrats are not leftists, as you yourself admit with this sentence here:
