  I kind of feel you here, though I think this reply put it most aptly.

  To paraphrase it bluntly: if you believe progressive stuff in most areas but regressive in one, the regressive movement welcomes you with open arms as long as it is convenient, while the loudest progressives will shun you out of their movement.

  My rant is a bit of a call for more nuance.

  No.. If you’re going to vote for a fascist you were always going to vote for the fascist.

  You were just looking for a socially acceptable reason.

    You’re one of those small minded Americans who can’t imagine there’s a world outside US politics?

      I’m open minded. Give me an actual example of someone on the Left being so obnoxious that you felt that voting for a Fascist was a better option.
