    They might not know enough about US politics to understand the nuance.

      I think it is fairly obvious that they’re just deliberately saying weird and inflammatory shit to pollute the discussion. I mean, it worked on me.

      But yes, if we’re going to take it seriously enough to write down reasons why they are clearly not being honest, “all the people on the ‘left’ look the same to me, I put Bernie Sanders and the Democratic Party in the same category, doesn’t everyone on the American left do that?” is a fairly big one.
