                The one where you’re acting like that or the one above it where you’re acting like that? A “realist” blames the ruling class vs the rest of us. Not the left or the right.

                    While that might be true, blaming the “liberal” is not “reality” when the reality is always the rich vs the poor.

                  My comment:

                  The only thing leftists are good for is destroying their own chances of creating a political party then blaming the liberals for it.

                    What are we even talking about.

                    Tell me, what do you think my political opinions are? I’m very curious to hear if you are even aware of who you’re talking with.
