A website used with the express purpose of startling the living crap out of anyone you link it to. Examples include tubgirl, lemonparty, and goatse.

Watch out for that link. It redirects to some shock site I've never seen before.

Doreknob

A person, usually a self-proclaimed leftist, who is a fan of pseudoleftist podcaster and “comedian” Jimmy Dore. Usually the burned-out husk of a BernieBro; likely to be fond of saying “I didn’t leave the Left, the Left left me”.

He used to be a BernieBro; now he can't stand Bernie so he became a Doreknob. I wonder if anyone's remind him that a leftist should never be a Trump supporter.

Omnicause

A sarcastic term for the belief system of leftists who are unable to pick battles they can win, and who get sulky and bitter when they can’t get support from outside their circles. Turn-ons: Revolution, guillotines, ratfucking liberals. Turnoffs: Allies, pragmatism, anything less than complete victory (but only on their terms).

No, you’re missing the point. I support what you support, but I’m not voting for you because you tie everything into the Omnicause, and you will never get anything done like that.
