Current US: a neoliberal capitalist nightmare being ruined by CEOs
Your most intelligent American: This is definitely the socialists’ fault
They faced the same amount as usual, but media made sure to squelch any reporting on it and to amplify every voice on the right. It’s not the civilians that chose to turn every single thing Kamala did into an opportunity to shit on her while ignoring everything Trump was doing.
I miss Al Franken.
I’m punching to the right, it’s not my fault the Dems are always standing there 🤷
This thread is an amazing honeypot for any instance admins looking for a well organized list of accounts to ban.
yeah the like 10 tankies in the US really threw that election…? The takes from people on lemmy are so fucking strange.
Yes it was the “slight corruption” that “tankies” are criticizing Dems for. Give me a break.
The 2024 us presidential election will have fierce debates for years to come.
Punching down by portraying people you theoretically want on your side as villains is not a winning strategy for anyone left of centre. Dividing people only helps the right, no matter who is doing it. I don’t even think ordinary folks who’ve been conned into believing (Maple) MAGA-esque propaganda should automatically be bashed in every case-- just persons in positions of significant power. The priority should always be to seek opportunities to genuinely win folks over.
The population is being dumbed down by our education system and smart devices/ social media. In addition to that, Republicans’ media strategy completely dominated with this election cycles. Democrat campaigns were being run like all of them were a bunch of seniors citizens who couldn’t navigate the current media environment.
Republicans controlled the narrative on most all of the issues.
I’m just punching right. Tell the Dems to stop standing there.
And it was the Dems who sued the socialist candidate off of the ballot in my state. Not the GOP. They occupy leftist space to prevent leftward movement, while Dems ally with the GOP to push through fascism.
Yep, generalizations work across the board. /s
Bernie and AOC are democrats. The Republicans and Democrats, although I could understand arguments against this, are humans. They can be greedy, shitty, liars, awesome, for the people and and for the oligarchs.
I’m always a little suspect when someone in the face of the r’s having convicted rapists, some of them pedos, on their platform, taking away constitutional rights, and tanking the stock market, say the left is too right. Are they? Some, but let’s focus on putting out the fire, not the dumpsters paint job.
Technically, no, Bernie is an independent who caucuses with dems and runs on their presidential primary ticket. But Bernie supports the dems and I’m with Bernie Sanders on like 95% of policy.
Bernie & AOC are center right at best. They’re both still feverishly advocating for sending more arms to extremists in Europe and the Middle East.
I’m not sure you’ve even seen the left, based on this comment.
…that’s not a right wing policy. That’s just a policy you don’t like.
LoL. So arming far right extremists is a leftwing principle now?
Oh so now they’re far right extremists.
Heard a lot of that said about the IRA as well. Ironically mostly funded by american left wingers.
Sounds like you just generally having an issue differentiating good and evil.
Not really, I just know that the difference between “terrorist” and “Freedom fighter” is usually very very political.
I don’t really know what to do with this comment.
I don’t know who you think the left is, or what actions you associate with putting out the fire.
I believe that the Democratic party leadership is extremely hostile to socialist policies, despite their enormous populist electoral power. Universal healthcare is good policy and good politics. So are jobs guarantees and basic minimum incomes and paid sick leave and free college. I have found that most Democrats who have the power to decide whether they would like voters to associate them with these policies or would like to avoid being associated with them choose the later.
I’ll vote for the lesser of two evils, because I’m a highly educated supervoter news junkie. But ultimately what costs Democrats their power was not the criticism and anger I and people like me posted online: it was ignoring that criticism when we were warning them that they were running unpopular candidates on unpopular platforms.
As far as I’m aware, conversations like this one are not hindering the good guys. What’s hindering the good guys is their choices and lack of integrity. The reason people like Chuck Schumer can’t stop Trump is not because I point out that he’s incapable of stopping Trump. It’s the other way around. I point that out because despite all efforts on the part of people like me, Chuck Schumer is unable to decide to stop Trump. That’s an internal problem and most critics of Democrats – which now includes most Democratic voters – are just spectators pointing to this problem.
6 months in and Liberals are still trying to blame their election loss on the left lmao.
tell me you don’t actually talk to leftists without telling me you don’t actually talk to leftists.
Liberals are right wing, what did you expect ? Human levels of intellect ?
I thought Democrats were better than Republicans because Democrats will at least listen. Why would I waste my time criticizing the side that doesn’t listen.
