i've noticed a certain smug elitism amongst those who appellate themselves with the label of "lefties", they seem to be rather supercilious whenever the topic shifts towards trump voters who voted for him on the basis of his touted worker friendly policies (which he didn't act on, to be sure), that reason has seldom, if ever, been registered by them whenever the topic of the 2016 election has come about, instead the same old mockery of the average trump supporter has pervaded every discussion "they did not even go to college!", "they're extremely prone to propaganda! they can't think for themselves" and shamelessly promote a corrupt war mongerer like hillary clinton who has made weapons deals worth billions of dollars with saudi arabia and qatar, excusing her every step of the way by making a consistent use of the "russian election manipulation" line
i have no problem with leftists, in fact my favourite political commentator is kyle kulinski, my political compass test came back showing me as a left wing libertarian, in fact actual leftists i've talked to have been more reasonable than many on the right wing have, but this is a distinct attitude amongst the left wing sc users that i've noticed
