    They do not. You have the unfortunate habit of reducing those who disagree with you to inaccurate caricatures, in a vain attempt to bolster your own poorly formed ethos.

      Oh cool. How have they failed to represent you to perfection?

      From the person who literally just misrepresented the entire left thus:

      The left refuses to vote for them because they don’t perfectly represent them

          So they represent you perfectly in all but name, then?

          Or are there policies of theirs you disagree with?

              I’m saying that you can’t name one policy you disagree with neoliberals on.

              I’m saying neoliberals represent you to absolute perfection, which is why you are so dismissive of those they don’t represent.

                “Haven’t” and “can’t” are separate concepts. But in all my interactions with you, you have only solidified a tendency to straw-man those you disagree with into manichean absolutes. You draw unsubstantiated conclusions from your own biases and scraps of comments twisted beyond their context.

                I disagree with the war-mongering, and the capitulation to capital, and the performative social policy, and the convenient bi-partisanahip, among many other capitalist policies wrapped in a rainbow flag. Better than the capitaists wrapped in a swastika, but not representative. I figured a leftist could have extrapolated that when I said I was a leftist.

                But you either aren’t a leftist, or you’re a teenage “leftist” who doesn’t know the meaning of the words “praxis” or “implementation”. I don’t have time for bad faith actors or nitwits who sound just like them.

                  Perhaps. But I’m not a leftist. I’m a progressive. Plus, I didn’t know which neoliberal policies you were happy with and which ones you weren’t. I don’t see genocide support on your list, which I can’t say comes as a surprise, what with this being lemmy and all.

                  But you either aren’t a leftist

                  This is correct.

                  who doesn’t know the meaning of the words “praxis” or “implementation”.

                  Simping for neoliberals while they support genocide is neither.

                  I don’t have time for bad faith actors or nitwits who sound just like them.

                  If you think this applies to me, do something else. I’m not forcing you to have this conversation.
