You quoting Obama to make my point for me is kind of confusing. You realize that I’m the one who pointed out that this post and your comments are doing just that? I mean you can disagree, fine. But it’s kind of weird to preach to the… preacher?

“purity test” != “Criticizing bad faith argumentative bullshit”
Saying everyone to the right of you is a conservative is precisely a purity test
