No- it is not unjust and it is rational. But still, a kind of discrimination. We can, I think, refuse to associate with awful people (for example) but we are "discriminating" against them for being awful. Discrimination is just judgment between things- it doesn't have to be based on protected classes. It is bad when based on irrational prejudice, or when it leads to denying people basic human rights- but when we discriminate between toothpaste brands, or among people we like and people we don't- that is just human.

Leftists most often cannot acknowledge their errors. And lack the intellectual horsepower to support their arguments. I would give you an example but the best one I can come up with is a list of your posts which are about as insubstantial as anything I've ever read.
