    I think to a degree the left pushes people out though, as your lefty card needs to be spotless or it’s revoked.

    Sometimes a person can say one thing wrong and they’ll be labelled an alt-right fascist, and not part of “the group” on the left, especially online.

    Obviously that doesn’t make people right wing, but it is a problem that pushes people away from more left leaning views/groups. Rather than try to discuss and correct, people will berate and ostracise.

      You think that doesn’t happen on the right? There’s a huge fight in congress now about which idiot is the Republicanest. They’re all calling each other RINOs.

      I consider myself a communist, I have been called a nazi or a fascist (I don’t remember) by some people here because I don’t share 100% some of their ideas, I’m still on the left, I still have empathy, I fully support individual freedom. But they are annoying nonetheless.
