    Nobody wants to be a candidate for the left. Have you seen what we do to people we like. I’ve seen people here calling Jon Stewart a fascist. We cook our own alive. Republicans have files on every possible candidate. We have no loyalty. Imagine a hockey team where every player physically and verbally abuses every coach they get. At some point nobody wants to coach your team

      Damn right we aren’t loyal to politicians. Are you looking for a leftist Trump? Jon Stewart is not the “left” so I’m not sure why you’re mentioning him at all.

      The left is not looking for a coach. We are hiring an employee.

        I think what they mean is we’re hiring an employee, but everyone doing the interviews believes themselves working at a different company.

          Honestly? They are. America is so right-wing that “The Left” encompasses a wide spectrum of ideologies that would all have their own political parties in Europe. Socialists have as much in common with liberals as liberals do with centrists, yet the Dems expect the first two to vote for them while they try to court the conservative leaning side of the centrists.
