    I have seen them at protests, and they do seem organized and they definitely can yell. What the fuck, I’ll take it. I feel like it’s probably mostly the central leadership that’s somehow been corrupted into trying to throw elections to the Republicans and getting upset about us sending aid to Ukraine.

    I don’t know if the person on the microphone I saw spend most of their speech yelling about Democrats (literally more than 50%) was from the PSL, but I don’t know that they were. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say maybe not, fuck it, come along with us, you can do your thing and I can do mine, sounds good.

      I’m fine with their platform and I do go to their events now and then, so any shade I throw is dappled with some sunshine.

      My main beef is they call themselves a ‘party’ and that means getting candidates elected. If that isn’t your goal, you aren’t a political party.

      My feeling has been that they waste the energy of a lot of early adopters and teach them means of political engagement that render them ineffective.
