hot take, uspol, cheerfully forming a leftist firing squad
Jeff Tiedrich (big birdsite leftist guy, if you're not familiar) is kind of an idiot.
I really do honestly feel there is a core of leftists who'd gladly put MIrror Trump (i.e., a guy who's just as crazy as Trump but is Our Guy and therefore fine) in power and be very proud of themselves for doing it. And would probably whine about "bothsidesism" when you pointed out all the obvious problems with Our Guy. And Jeff is near the top of the list.
He's currently getting pilloried on Reddit for taking a completely incorrect jab at Trump about the Secretary of the Treasury being responsible for international sanctions, and I just want to cuff the SOB on the ear. We do not have time for people like him and their bullshit right now. It's bad enough we've still got Michael Moore.
If you're the kind of leftist who can't do 20 seconds of fact checking, and would rather just jerk your knee anyhow, maybe the best thing for you is to go join the other side and help fuck them up even further. -__-

Other big one, Alexandra Erin, i.e., The Smug Lady With The Big Orange Hat Who Calls Her Followers "Babies."
Can't fucking stand her. She reminds me of the neo-pagans at my alma mater who obviously just needed a substitute for Catholicism in their lives and just could not live without a prudish moral system to be Objectively Right For Sure about all the time.

@zebratron2084 -the guy replied one more time, essentially, "sorry, didn't mean to offend, love your work."
she made a big production of blocking the guy for that, because of course "see yourself out of my mentions" means "never speak to me again, starting NOW, or else." it's about boundaries donchaknow. gotta make an example of this poor dude.

@Sig wow, its always nice to hear my queasy feeling about somebody is SPOT ON. now i know who i'm stalking thru the reeds as soon as im out of twitter jail. being blocked by her is a trophy i much desire.
re: hot take, uspol, cheerfully forming a leftist firing squad
I don't remember what I did to be blocked by her, but I'm sure it was a proud moment.

@zebratron2084 oh god, her. I always thought she was kinda annoying but here's when I was officially done with her forever: some poor bastard had the temerity to reply to one of her threads with something like "are you sure you're exactly right about XYZ"; she replied, furious that this guy would question her authority, ending with "now see yourself out of my mentions," and-
