"...but there does seen to be an almost reflexive tendency of the left to shut down any criticism by assuming the worst in people whenever somebody says something even slightly critical or against the prevailing doctrine."

Not true
Do the above on the right and the response is that they build a gallows, call you a RINO to claim you never once actually truly supported the party (ever in your life) and threaten to impale you with the sharpened tip of a flag pole.

You see my enlightened, friend... You're kind of just exactly being OP's meme on this point. If you can hear me all the way up there, on the unprincipled higher ground?

Got any of these bad boys to back up your claims? Actual objective proof of folks taking any action on your "tons" of interactions, and at this scale?
