Do I need to bring out the centrist liberals who immediately went "maybe this will be good though"
It’s impossible to parody leftists. I saw someone make a joke about leftists blaming Kamala Harris for the invasion of Venezuela only to find Jill Stein wrote this unironically.

Just a few weeks ago, these guys said jurisdiction was so powerful that the US could not recall its own detainees from CECOT in El Salvador…
