DIY: You might be a purity troll if...
Edited on Mon Apr-30-07 04:33 PM by iconoclastic cat
...?

Here's my contribution:

You might be a purity troll if...

...you can name every single first- and second-tier presidential candidate, but refuse to consider voting for them

...consider anyone who votes for anyone other than your third-tier candidate a "fascist"

...are very angry at your face, and plot violent revenge


Come on! It's fun!

1. Hmm.
...you'll vote for whatever Dem nominee it is, no matter who it is?

2. That would be the *opposite* of a purity troll. I believe the term is "yellow dog" nt

3. Isn't it the same thing though?
The title "dem nominee" is so "pure" that is makes up for whoever it happens to be?

5. Interesting. You're talking about a sublimation of the will,
as opposed to attempting to dominate. Yes, I can see that.

9. I'm saying that...
both extremes boil down to "my way or the highway."

4. Refuse to vote for a candidate because they don't use the right light bulbs.

7. Lie about other people's views
That might not qualify for purity troll, more likely just a plain old shithead.

14. Somewhere there is an alternate universe without a Nader,
where more people did die in Corvair accidents, but tens of thousands were not killed in a needless war after Al Gore was elected president in 2000. Anyone have directions to that universe?

15. I'll vote for whatever prochoice candidate is handed to me
There are some I would be more enthusiastic about than others, but I'll still turn yella dog in November.

I won't cross the choice line, though. I couldn't have crossed the abolitionist line in the 1850s, either.
