So, you agree with me 99% but will fight to the death over the last 1%?
Let’s take your last paragraph. There are plenty of kids who can hook up the PC, a video game console, and Grandma’s VCR and make them all work together without having the least idea of why it works. They know that this plug goes here and not there and that’s enough for them. None of them can tell a sine wave from a tsunami.
And you completely ignored LaGuardia being able to be a Communist and a Republican at the same time. He happily ignored the contradiction and got both to agree that he was the best man for the job.

I ignored it because I’m not American and I had no idea what you were referencing, sorry. I got my own qualms with American terminologies but that’s a different discussion

So, you couldn’t be bothered to take 30 seconds to search for something I mentioned, but I am supposed to fall in line and accept all your definitions and points of view?
That’s pretty funny.

Fine, let’s play your game
A mayor from almost 100 years ago is irrelevant to this discussion. I don’t know about you, but I was talking about contemporary times here
Is this really how you wanna discuss?

First, now you’re trying to move the goal posts. If you didn’t know who LaGuardia was you should have mentioned it right away.
Second, let’s jump to your latest comment and start from there.
If LaGuardia is irrelevant to the current situation, why is Marx relevant? He’s been dead longer than Fiorello.
You’re the one demanding we use antique terms, and chastising me for trying to update them.
Finally, everything you’ve posted has proved my first point, that there are people on the Left who will argue and argue instead of trying to build consensus
