      See that’s my only problem with other people on the left… Conservatives will always support other conservatives. They’ll vote for them regardless.

      Liberals, Progressives, leftists, they’ll kneecap other without hesitation because they can’t stand simple progress. They want radical change. And if you can’t provide that, then they won’t vote, they won’t support anyone, they’ll talk absolute shit about candidates, ideas, etc.

      God forbid anyone tries to sell progressivism to the public… You can always guarantee a leftist will come out of the fucking woodworks to poo poo on it because it’s just not left enough for them. Assholes.

        Liberals are not on the same end of the political spectrum as leftists. That is why leftists don’t like dealing with them or joining forces with them. Because 9 times out of 10, on issues leftists care about, liberals will side with the right wing.

            Liberals are not anti-capitalist Capitalism is on the right. Liberals are on the right. It really is that simple.

            The fundamental difference between the left and right is and has always been preservation of the current form of political economy (the right) vs progression to new form of political economy (the left). During the days of feudalism the right wanted to preserve feudalism and was represented by the landed aristocracy while the left was represented primarily by bourgeois revolutionaries pushing for a capitalist system. Today those bourgeois are on the right because they are trying to preserve the current system that sustains them while communists and anarchist are on the left because they recognize that this system does not work for them and are trying to build a new one. Liberals stand in the way of that and are therefore on the right

              Okay Vladimir.

              Look, it’s super-simple: Liberals want to tax the rich, Healthcare for all, Environmental protections, and publicly funded Education.

              You can say that’s impossible because of worker oppression or whatever but that’s simply not the case. It’s a matter of enough people voting for officeholders who will do the work to implement those things.

              Your socialist language is a pitfall and a barrier to practical, actual change.

                Liberals want to tax the rich, Healthcare for all, Environmental protections, and publicly funded Education.

                Then why do they keep electing people who do the opposite of that?

            I mean liberals think they are until an issue that actually matters arises. Having enough decency to not think minorities should be killed off doesn’t make you a leftist automatically. Thinking the world shouldn’t be run as a Christian fascist autocracy doesn’t by itself make you a leftist. And you can’t just have those two insanely low bars in common with leftists and then be confused when they won’t side with you every election without question.

        Agreed 100%. And I’d expand it further (and more impactfully) many moderates would rather let the country delve into fascism than the mystery box of progressivism that (in their mind) might eventually lead to fascism or higher taxes when they finally become a billionaire.

        Moderates and progressives need to agree on a candidate (primary), then both sides need to support them.

          We agreed on a candidate. (Bernie)

          And the Dems decided to railroad the other candidate through anyway. It makes absolutely perfect sense why progressives think liberals are full of shit.

          Hell, Dems are fighting harder against Mamdani right now than they are against Donald, a literal fascist president.

        Conservatives will always support other conservatives

        . . . So what’s a “RHINO”?

        Rightists turn on each other for purity tests all the time. Especially amongst the racist ones.

        That’s not true. But I can’t compel myself to waste time providing evidence when you won’t read it in the first place. So fuck it, and fuck this community.

      I can never really tell how un/intentionally memey the boomer aspect is anymore, but my brain might be broken. It’s definitely a meme by libs, for libs though.
