I don't understand your criticism.

People don't call themselves ultra leftist. They call other people that when they take positions that are in advance of what's currently possible as an effective action

For example, advocating for an armed insurrection in the US and gathering a dozen people to storm the Pentagon the next weekend would be ultra leftism.

So that advocate might be a communist, but theyre taking an action that won't advance the movement and will just get them and their comrades killed.

Ultra leftism is the flip side of tailism or right opportunism

    Since he started campaigning with Kamala and distancing himself from Hasan, I've become completely skeptical of him.

    I don't like Hasan, but he had Abdul's back in this race. Hasan hasn't changed, and he knew who Hasan was when he chose to campaign with him. This speaks poorly of Abdul's character; loyalty means something.

    Similarly, Kamala is a genocide enabling loser. I don't trust the political instincts or principles of someone who campaigns with her.

    Nothing indicates either door is a restroom. That's an assumption we're bringing into this.

    I think one room is a conservatory and the other room is sensory deprivation chamber

    I'm a dumb yank, but I'd never advise anyone to go with an Apple product, largely cuz I'm poor but also cuz I don't like Apple's UI

    Edit: total aside, but when I used to work overseas, my students were always shocked that I didn't have all Apple products
