Stop lumping us together!

I'm so tired of people who don't know about leftists lumping us all together. Yes, there's some that are extremist (far left), fascists (tankies), and let the system burn (anarchists). But that's not all of us. Just like there's different degrees and camps on the left just like the right and even center. I'm a lesbian trans girl Latina who is a leftist socialist. I voted. I bugged everyone in my life to vote if they could. While I agree that voting for democrats sucks, the danger of republicans winning is sooooo far worse. Idiots like hasan pushing for people to abstain to feel morally superior are the real problem, but as I said, they don't define leftists. Most leftists vote because we want harm reduction, not to let things burn as a "see democrats are bad too!" bullshit.

Most socialists aren't extremists, none are tankies, and are usually in opposition to anarchists. So stop saying leftists or most leftist. Fringe leftists are who you hate, not the majority of us.

With peace and love, stop hating the wrong group of people. If you must hate, at least aim it at the problem.
