@Teri_Kanefield Can you point to a prominent “authoritarian of the left” in American politics today? I mean, there are cranks out there, and there are Russia-inspired trolls making trouble ostensibly from the left, but who or what is a serious authoritarian of the the left?

Occupy Democrats also seems to fit that mold.

They publish clickbait, they hypersensationalize, and they craft and push fake news.

They also do not, to my knowledge, provide direct support for any candidates.

And apparently the Daily Dot concurs with that opinion.

@Aphrodite @Wawalker @Teri_Kanefield

how on earth is that actually "authoritarian"??

authoritarian means what here? something besides "not chosen by populace, having power despite the wishes of the populace, a person or group that imposes policy per own ideology without regard for democratically derived decisions"?? the only place this could be applied to anything like the "left" is Dem politicians with masks & vaccines so

tell me how it applies to anyone actually to the left of Joe Biden
