Some of y'all try so hard to make "leftist" some kind of oppressed identity. Um, no. Poor people are oppressed, and if you are worth the stamp it costs to mail you, as a leftist you are working for the liberation of poor ppl. But you are not oppressed bc you are a leftist.
Maybe the US is still watching like actual radical commies, but the DSA? Nobody is jailing or assassinating DSA members for being in the DSA, lol.
