Do keep in mind these aggressive purist Gatekeeping / no true Scot leftists are very often just right-wing astroturfers. It hits two birds with one stone: they make leftism obnoxious, they often muddy the waters of violence, and wedge-drive the Democratic coalition to get Trump elected.
Either that or they're very young and naive.
Don't fall for it. You'll see more of this the closer the election gets.
i don't believe you can prove anyone (not everyone, just one person) who doesn't think biden is good enough is either right wing or "young and naive"
No but I can prove they're short-sighted; and those two things go hand-in-hand. In my experience I've frankly yet to see someone older than like 22-years-old espouse such self-defeating beliefs and goals.
I can also prove that right-wing extremists engage in political astroturfing routinely and that according to investigative reporting these far-right groups intend to muddy the waters.
Taken from there, it takes very little ink (inductive reasoning) to connect the dots.
this isn't proof. it's innuendo.
