That's not what I said or implied.
What most people would label "the extreme Left" are supported, in their evaluations of the threats imposed by either of the two dominant political parties, by many of the most esteemed and accomplished academics and intellectuals.
You keep thinking that I, or people like me, above all want to be special or superior in some way. That's just a total falsehood and you should stop thinking it. It's more like there are these extremely greedy people in the world who are hellbent on accumulating power and material possessions beyond normal human comprehension. In the process they create extreme, widespread social precarity. These people manipulate people like you into supporting them. Then people like me just try to point out to people like you that you are being manipulated so that we might, together, thwart these greedy people who you, for whatever reason, cannot seem to recognize as a group acting in a group interest against you and your group.
I don't want any recognition for this. I just want you to, for the love of God, stop, eyes wide open, marching into the polls like a zombie and supporting people who are our mutual enemy.
