Probably the lowest common denominator I've ever seen here, is all this bullshit drama over ‘alt-left.’ If we could all stay focused and act like adults, that'd probably be better and more productive, eh?
Some questions/comments:
1. @Kos @Armando why do you insist on using this term/label? You KNOW you're going to get a reaction. Hell, you KNOW it’s going to empower those on the ‘left’ who actually deserve derision for their actions by rallying sympathetic Dems to their side from such a HORRIBLE attack (/s). Why stoop that low? You have a lot more to offer than that.
2. Why pay any attention to the ‘alt-left’ label? It’s a bullshit term trying to get people stirred up and dismissed. Sure, there are always people who don't fit in to the community (Party, group, whatever) that for some reason insist on sticking around, but why do you ID with them and react so hard to ‘alt-left’? The people who use that term are obviously acting like babies...don't give in to the tantrums or they'll keep happening. And to be fair, I haven't seen one remotely-notable user on Daily Kos or Twitter say ‘alt-left means all Bernie supporters’ or ‘alt-left means anyone who didn't like Hillary.’ They'd be way wrong if they did say that, but let's not go looking for martyrdom, ok?
3. Also, if you ARE pearl-clutching about ‘alt-left’, QUIT using your own divisive charged terms. If you've complained about the ‘alt-left’ label, you completely lose any credibility if you have or later use ‘neoliberal’, ‘corporate’, ‘establishment’, ‘centrist’, ‘Third Way’, etc to describe any fellow Dems or users on this site, unless they have self-ID’d first. Wedges are wedges and Bernie is as guilty of that ‘establishment’ cudgel as Markos is with ‘alt-left.'
Seriously, grow the fuck up.
NOW, can we please get a Bubbanomics diary at the top of the wrecklist, and then return to our normal programming?
