Their refusal to think logically makes me want to bash my head on a wall permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children) This comment should be deleted soon permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 years ago No the top level comment is the logical take permalink fedilink source parent [–] itsJoelle@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) For my own understanding, I want to have it explained to me how it was unhinged! Granted, voicing the take as I did pertaining to Manchin likely isn't the smartest due to his electorate demographics, but I can recall a few cases where Democrat party officials threw their weight behind more center primary candidates as an appeal towards the center. Edit: I suppose my umbrige is with how those candidates coincidentally happen to favor neo-liberal tendencies and don't advocate for working class or on environmental issues. Cause, man, what a dream it would be to have an actual left party as opposed to a center and right. permalink fedilink source parent
