"So-called leftists thing it's better for trump to win than vote for the prosecutor, due to their purity tests."

"Self-styled leftists think the infrastructure bill which provided so many jobs didn't go far enough and they're throwing a tantrum"

Fuck off. This is left coded "by your own logic you should agree with me, a person who thinks your politics are silly." So condescending.

"Self-declared leftists are supporting maduro, Putin, and Assad. Whoever they think they're on the side of, it's not workers." Who even thinks this one? Yet I could dig up a blue sky post from a fairly mainstream person saying it. This one in particular bugged me with the equating of the three of them. But what leftist is supporting Putin?

Plenty of people like, don't want a war with Russia and think arming Ukraine is dangerous, and you can critique that if you want, but there's no "leftists" supporting Putin.
