If someone refuses to vote Democrat and consistently bashes the Dems, it makes zero difference if they imagine themselves to be leftist or not. When their actions and posting suppresses the Dem vote and paves the way for GOP electoral success, they are the same as the Repunlicans as far as I'm Concerned. I don't care what their excuse is, nor do I necessarily believe it. What matters is what people do. If they argue the two partIes are the same and won't vote for Democrats, they might as well be Republicans since the results of their positions are the same: Increasing GOP power. I seriously doubt the OP wants to ban Democrats to make more space for self-absorbed nihilists who for some inexplicable reason only just figured out the US govt serves moneyed interests, something every single administration has done since the birth of the Republic.
