The "True Left" is a mythological beast conjured up by red avatars to attack people who hold policy positions that they dislike whether it is voting for a non-Democratic candidate, advocating for likely unfeasible legislative action or being against Obama. Many of these positions coincide with one another but they're not indicative of coherent viewpoints. Someone who is a self-described Socialist could just as easily be labeled a progressive Democrat as a "True Leftist" depending on the circumstances.
I'm still struggling to know what is a "True Leftist". Bravo ^^^
As for the ISIS thing. Focusing the debate in bombing or not those barbarians is staying in the surface of the problem, in my opinion. The situation on the ground just makes inevitable taking some military action. However, bombing ISIS is far from being a durable solution to the long-term problems in the Middle East, it's only a stop-gap response. I guess people is able to realise of that and criticism on the US past and present policies in the region is absolutely legitimate, because they are not unrelated with the phenomenon. To be honest, I see no great difference between certain infantile leftism and some 'progressive' Democrats failing to see how ineffective has been the current US administration in taking actions in order to prevent the aggravation of the situation in the whole region, or at least to help laying the foundations for a more permanent solution. The recollection of Hilary's performance in the Israel-Palestine conflict, to take an example, would make me impossible voting for her, in the case that I was eligible to vote there... I still find Obama
likeable, to certain extent, but I can't afford to ignore how disappointing has been his failure in the Middle East or his stance in the last UN Climate Summit.
