    My girlfriend thinks capitalism is fine and doesn’t care about billionaires existing.

    She’s never had a minimum wage job or worked in the service industry 🙄

      Just curious, what is the alternative you propose? We have seen communism, that doesn’t work either.

      In my country we also have capatalism but we still have workers rights and all of that. It is just in America that employers managed to get everything their way. Other countries have free markets without abusing their workers.

    Some liberals don’t even think there’s a problem. They think movements like MAGA and Brexit are just low information voters being riled up by algorithms and populists.

      Holy fuck this is spot on.

      I’m so tired of hearing “they’re so racist”

      It’s such a terminating clause. Like we don’t need to actually understand at a deeper level why guy born a Mexican, still is Mexican but is voting for Trump because… They’re racist against Mexicans???

      I’m so done with the left. It’s so tiring. They even adapt their messages. I can go back 15 years and still see the exact comments of “they’re racist” while right wing dominate spaces seem to come up with new things every 6 months. Soy cuck Wojack probably conjures up a whole era all our minds right? What about “man they’re racist” what does that conjure up?

      The left should lose the right to call anyone low information voters until they sort themselves the fuck out

        I think you’re confused, liberals aren’t left. The commenter you are replying to is complaining about liberals, ie “moderate” right wingers, failing to understand far-right wingers.
