    'll never understand this way of thinking. You can focus on more than one thing at the same time.

    I’ve come to the realization that a lot of Twitter leftists are single issue voters. It’s just that that single issue changes based on what’s pissing them off in any given week.

    They really think the left is just as baby-brained as they are and only capable of focusing on one thing at a time to the complete exclusion of everything else. As if me being pissed off about Isn’trael doing a genocide right now means I’ve suddenly forgotten about the erosion of abortion access, the ever-increasing damage being done by climate change, fascist jackals attacking the human rights of my transgendered and POC comrades, or capitalist pigs making the world a shittier place for anyone less wealthy than them. But no, any time the left speaks up against whatever atrocity against human rights or human dignity the news is reporting on this week, they automatically mean “I no longer care about any other issue but THIS ONE” because that’s just how human brains work or something.

      It’s what happen when you build your identity around “discussing” issues with the adults in the room, but never actually intend to do anything about the issues.
