Anyone who is genuinely left wing will easily recognize that neither party in the US represents their interests.

> genuinely left wing What does that even mean ? Any one with half a brain will find good ideas from the far left to the far right. This "left vs right" is the dumbest thing we ever came up with. Vote and fight for ideas, not sport teams... keep the fanatism for football

Parler is basically a direct clone of twitter's basic features. They use different names but have features similar to that of Twitter's tweet/like/retweet. Gab's current iteration is a mastodon fork (although iirc they don't participate in the fediverse via activitypub). Gab is similar to Twitter like Parler but is less of a direct clone, offering other features Twitter doesn't have. Gab has been along for longer and…

Many high profile Remainers claimed Leavers were/are racist, ignorant, far-right, small minded, hated all foreigners, didn't know what they were voting for, were old and thus should have their vote be ignored, and worse. Leavers claimed Remainers were ... what? Af…

> What does that have to do with anything? It's a reminder, more to the point, is it a slur though? If you are fine with denying someone's existence I am sure you can take whatever is coming to you from very people fighting against you. > ...incitement of violence I would disagree with the 'incitement of violence', but to be fair, I don't blame them either, I would have said the same as well.
