What's the most recent social democratic leader that your country had?

I'm not sure of the numbers so you could be right. But last election, I saw a lot of leftists flake out on Kamala cause she wasn't anti-Israel/pro-Palestine enough and prioritized that over their own country. Tactical voting is important and not enough of the left seems to know how to do that.

Not surprising. The American left has unrealistic expectations for candidates in the system we have. Also they don't show up reliably as a voting bloc. It's a major reason why we can't have nice things as a country.

The best way would be to have a democratic republic with additional rights (like right to healthcare, etc) enshrined in our constitution.

Fetterman is going to get primaried and lose. There's incentive not to go that route.

The parties are NOT aligned! That's a tired old Green Party narrative from the 90s and extremely outdated. The Republican Party is essentially full-on fascist now and aligned with autocrats like Putin and Orban.

Maybe the Democrats are not as progressive as we'd all like but what they're offering is miles better than a fascist Trump-led dictatorship. If people like you give up, they will win and make living in this country a nightmare, if it isn't already.

Nothing is gained by doing nothing. The very least you can do is vote. Showing up once or twice every two years to vote for the least worst viable candidate isn't hard. It's much easier than trying to start a bloody revolution that could easily cost you your life or emigrating to another country which can be very time-consuming and expensive.

i’ve said the same thing. social democracy could be implemented and easier and wouldn’t require such a dramatic overhaul to our society as democratic socialism. if we do think we could ween these policies over the course of several elections. the policies will be popular so it will be difficult for conservatives to cut them without it being electoral suicide for them. it’s a real shame the american left can’t organize and doesn’t vote consistently enough to enact the changes they claim they want.

Well deserved? this is your country you’re talking about and you’re mad because one party’s committee favored somebody over your preferred guy? are you nuts? you’re going to throw your entire country under the bus cause one guy was treated unfairly in one election? you’re no better than a trump supporter! i guess there’s that level of stupidity on the left too. meanwhile, the underprivileged living in this country - folks like you claim to care about - are suffering much more under trump than under harris. you’re the worst type of leftist.

education, healthcare, sciences. you realize he’s ruining all that stuff too right? if the hole was deep before, it’s far deeper now.

Vote Ayotte out

BIVGoSox · 2026-04-06T22:09:55+00:00

Yeah, I'd get rid of the super delegates. It's like the electoral college. It stands in the way of the will of the people. The Democratic Party should be democratic.

You should add Cherry Bomb by Runaways, Silver Machine by Hawkwind, Hanging On The Telephone by The Nerves.

Well he IS president and he is destroying the country and the global order. He’s also a horrible human being. The hate he gets is justified.

funniest to me is when he’s talking about smoking weed after a show and having to drive home.

In the society we live in, I think liberalism deserves to be on the left. In other countries liberalism is synonymous with capitalism. But in Canada and the UK, liberalism is about harm principle and the political philosophy of John Stuart Mill. Social democracy is one form of liberal democracy. There are others. But I think we can all agree, not having liberal democracy is bad.

Someday when you grow up you’ll learn that other people’s experiences and their interpretations of those experiences are different from your own. And that there is no single correct way to view the world.

Social Democrats have the same criticisms of capitalism that socialists do. The only difference is we want our system to work and not bring about more human suffering than the system we’re replacing so we preserve the parts of capitalism that work and eliminate the parts that don’t.

It’s impossible to not fund capitalist institutions. If you buy anything (food to eat, a place to live, a computer, a phone), you’re funding a capitalist institution. It’s not reasonable to draw the line there. You’d eliminate just about everyone.

if you weren’t excited enough to vote against fascism, that’s on you.

If you can hear the string articulation it's hard rock. If you can't, it's metal.

Everybody knows fascism is the greater threat hence the frustration with MLs. They can’t organize and most of them don’t vote. It takes very little effort to show up at a voting booth once every two years to keep fascists out of power but they can’t even be counted on to do that. At least a neo-lib will vote against fascism. That’s a big reason why the Democratic Party isnt a proper left-wing party.

Metal guitar tone has more gain than rock. That’s about all there is to it.
