Relentlessly attacking the leftmost wing of the mainstream is TRUE Left Praxis 😊

Real fucked how someone can attack the most progressive of the establishment for not being left enough while relentlessly defending someone like Putin or fucking Orbán

One wrong or politically moderate stance is enough to condemn any would-be socdem/demsoc 'ally'; one 'correct' stance or anti-SHITLIB alignment is enough to turn any fascist, imperialist, or theocrat into a comrade beyond criticism.
People who support genocide are scum. It's that simple. (I don't think these three are neoliberals, though.)

Please take Elizabeth Warren (capitalist to my bones/snake) off the progressive list. She was a Republican until the Democrats moved far enough to the right for her to join. Second she helped destroy Sanders Second presidential run, and part of that, besides staying in the primary after she lost her own state. But stayed in for super Tuesday to keep Sanders from getting the votes. She also pulled that hot mic stunt and called Sanders a sexist. She a fucking monster and is no progressive.

I have my own reservations about Warren similar to your's. But:
I didn't make the meme. I am but a lazy reposter.
She's been a Dem almost as long as I've been alive, and for her entire political career. Don't really know how much stock I'd put in "She used to be a Republican decades ago before she got into politics."
Being a progressive and being a slimy opportunist are, unfortunately, not mutually exclusive.
- Yes she was a Republican that is easy to verify

Word.

You are absolutely right. Thank you for pointing this out, OP.

If I understand them correctly and they're a tankie then there's nothing wrong about this statement in their eyes, in their view the left side is very right wing conservative and the right side is moderate conservative "liberal" but none are "the left" so to them they're not attacking left wing anything.

Which is part of a broader problem of "Anyone who isn't us isn't a REAL leftist"
- Which itself implies that "real leftists" are a rounding error in the population and can never hope to effect the change they seek.
They aren't serious political actors with consistent or defensible positions, they are nationalist campists if not outright propagandists.
The only acceptable Western leader to them is one that will cause the most internal chaos and self-destruction while leaving BRICS (mostly China and Russia) alone. Left-right politics has little to do with it. They don't want us to coalesce into progressive countries, they want us to collapse and suffer.
- If you mean "Progressive" like EU or Nordic countries, in which life is better for it's own citizens at the cost of continuing to exploit poorer nations then yeah I get their point.
- The only acceptable western leader to me is one who leaves BRICS alone. Partly because I live in it, and partly because it now contains the majority of the world. Also at least don't enable literal genocide. I definitely don't want them to cause internal chaos wherever they leave, but destroying the World Bsnk / IMF and other instruments of neocolonialism would be nice.

I can't remember where i heard it.

"we don't elect our leaders, we elect our opposition"

IE, we elect the best candidate we have (within limits), and assume they'll shill/compromise/be bribed... no elected official is beyond criticism.

this isn't sports, is the management of the state we live in.

Lmao you really put Elizabeth Warren in there

I mean she has issues but at least the consumer financial protection bureau did some good. I get why she's there and even if you don't like her it's easy to understand that she was vocally progressive for the last couple of elections even though she used to be an r
One of very few Democrats actually voting against arms supply to Israel. It’s unfortunate that that’s a high bar now.
