    Its not. Its highlighting the misuse of the word leftist, which is commonly misappropriated to neoliberal Democrats. Dems are explicitly, by definition not leftist.

              Dems wasn’t mentioned at all in the original post, please don’t move goal posts. “No true leftist” is a “no true scottsman”.

                I’m sorry, but you need to work on your reading comprehension if you think ‘fake “centrists” are still scapegoating leftists for their own defeat’ isn’t clearly talking about Democrats. JFC.

                    I’m not moving the goalpost. Stop throwing out fallacies that you don’t actually understand. It was clearly a statement about Democrats. Do you really not understand that? Are you digging in because you’re unwilling to admit you made a mistake? Or are you being deliberately obtuse in order to attack the left? Which is it?
