    It’s a nice theory, but we all know this flowchart has never been tried.

    Do you believe in left unity?

    The leftists are as bad about this as any liberal, conservative, or fascist. “We all need to rally together… around me. Anyone who diverges is a splitter who has undermined the party!”
