got banned from a so called left wing facebook group for being a "right wing chud"

all because I pointed out that the democrats arent fascists and voting for a third party helps get morons like trump win.

Oh no how will I handle the shame

There's been a large swath of voters on the left that have been misled into thinking that """fighting"" for something you are never able to achieve is better than incremental progress.

This mindset is why we have been losing elections.

I'm always disappointed to see how many people encourage primarying incumbent Democrats and voting third party.
