The general sentiment is pretty good but that's still a stupid writing full of bad examples and inaccuracies. This part made me cringe:

"There is no travel ban on them because of their religion."

There isn't for anybody. It could've been accurate and just as relevant changing "religion" to "national origin" so why not do that?

Probably because many of us think Trump's ban has nothing to do with the nations in question and everything to do with religion. I.e he couldn't ban Muslims, so he did the closest thing to that that he could get away with.

The five countries with the largest Muslim populations in the world are:
Indonesia
Pakistan
India
Bangladesh
Nigeria

None are affected by the ban. Meanwhile the non-Muslim populations of the countries banned are.

It was really awful and stupid wording.

Kos of DailyKos had a similar tweet.

Economic anxiety that DSA members like a certain recently diseased 32 year old woman would care about?


Okay, who cares about Kos when we have LITERAL ACTUAL NEO-NAZIS to defeat. Like honestly, why even mention him? Stop making this all about you and feeling persecuted by other members of the left you don't care for. This is bigger than you. I mean this in a general sense of all your posts here, not just this particular one.

But Neera Tanden said it's "the alt left" at fault.
Who cares about Neera Tanden? I don't even know who she is. I know who Kos is, but I don't really care what he says.

What I care about is progressives, mainstream liberals, and moderates coming together to fight NAZIS.

Too late, your side decided to use the death of a progressive to go after progressives.
What even is "my side"?

By jfern's way of thinking unless you're some deranged HA Goodman-esque Bernie or Bust type who actually voted for Hillary Clinton in November (simply supporting Sanders in the primary isn't enough, seeing as how he's quite opposed to me, who did and was a delegate for him to my district convention, and Adam Griffin...who did and was a delegate to the national DNC for him) you are some centrist Democratic establishment shill who must be defend and be responsible for every single comment any Democratic establishment-type figure makes.

If Reddit was representative of politics then about half of people would be communists or Nazis, with radical libertarians and anarchocapitalists making up the majority of the remainder, and frothing at the mouth BernieOrBusters would be the vast majority of Democrats.

r/neoliberal is a very serious sub-thing

People who unironically refer to themselves as neoliberals barely exist in reality too.

Oh yeah and Florida and Vermont are not located in Virginia.

I wonder how the moron who wrote that pile of idiocy feels now?
