    Yeah, “Purity testing” like asking for left candidates to actually be left and not just more center-right neoliberals.

      You fuckers call everyone center-right. By your insane definition, the Democratic party is center right so you should stop demanding they put up a candidate that statistically no one in the country wants.

        That’s most of the world’s definition. America has a conservative party and a right-wing nutjob party.

        If you don’t like facts, you’re going to hate it when I start pointing out policy differences between them and left-of-center parties. XD

                I dunno how else to explain it, bub. America is in the world, so I use the world’s political scale.

                  Why the fuck would you do that? It’s not a global political contest. It’s one internal to the United States.

                    Either I’m not understanding the question, or you’ve got some weird ideas about politics. America does not exist outside the context of the world, why the fuck wouldn’t I consider the full range of politics when evaluating an internal contest?
