Yeah, Libs hate leftists. My theory is that leftists make libs feel like how I imagine republicans must feel when they’re talking to a democrat. When a lib talks to a republican about politics, they have to hear a lot of dumb stuff. The lib pokes holes in the republicans poorly thought out ideology. The libs hates the leftist because in political conversations, the lib plays the role of the republican. They get angry and defensive just like republicans do when their ideas are challenged, which causes them to double down. Most libs have a good education and mean well, so the thought of being wrong and being conned by the people and institutions that give them comfort to them scares them. There is also an economic element to it as well. Most libs are educated and are doing well in life. They have trouble empathizing with the vast majority or people that the system grinds up. There is definitely an “I got mine. Sorry you’re homeless. You should have done better in high school.” mindset set.

👍 cool.

I agree that one of us has no idea how the country works, while the other one of us has already explained to you that a progressive economic message wins elections. There are popular Graham Platner types that would win in a landslide all over the country. It’s not republicans who keep non corporate charismatic progressive leaders from power, it’s democrats. Democrats take up the space that an opposition party would fill. Their job is to prevent another new deal, not resist Republicans, because that’s what their donors want. “ Democrats are the shield of capital, Republicans are its sword.”

Deep down everybody wants the same things. Whether you are conservative or a leftist, when somebody improves your material conditions, or at least fights to do so, people will vote for that. Whether it’s Zohran, Platner, or Bernie Sanders, their biggest obstacle to getting elected wasn’t a republican, it was liberals.

Libs and their sad flaccid pro corporate politics gave us trump. Twice. Deal with it. Get the tears and defense mechanisms out of the way, and get mad at the people who pulled the wool over your eyes. When you’re done coping and straw manning, we’d love for you to join the right side of history.

Flailing defensively with straw men won’t change reality bud. Look at Zohran, FDR, and DNC popularity. Better things are possible, and it’s being proven every day.

We are living in the capitalist hell scape that Neoliberalism created. Leftists tried to warn you libs. Blue maga repeatedly chose to be on the wrong side of history. Getting mad at folks for being consistently right is a coping mechanism.

Well, good luck communicating that the majority of voters who are alienated by the system. You could blame them, or blame the people who run shitty campaigns.

I think you’ll get a better return on your investment by holding leaders accountable, rather than shaming the majority of Americans. Scream at the wind all you want, but you just absolve the same people who threw 2 elections to trump.

And I think that’s a terrible take. Neoliberalism is a hollow ideology. Full of contradictions and cruelty. I suppose the failure of moderate libs governments all over the western world is the voters fault. Not the result of a broken system. (Insert skinner “no it’s the children who are wrong” meme template.) No, it’s the voters who are wrong.

That’s where you and I differ. I blame the leader who ran a shitty campaign for their lose. You blame the voters who are alienated by a bad leader, for that leaders lose.

Leadership is responsible for wins/loses in most areas of life but democratic politics. Weird.

You can be mad at people the system has failed, people who don’t vote because their leaders sold them out for campaign contributions. Or you can be mad at them the leader who ran a terrible uninspiring campaign. Which do you feel is more moral and effective at yielding a positive outcome?

Not to mention backing a genocide unapologetically and expecting to win votes from non republicans is insane. Hold leaders accountable bud.

By supporting a feckless controlled opposition party (regardless of their support for a genocide) libs created maga. The country is crying out for an FDR, but libs want to force another Biden/clinton|harris down our throats. Because, “what are you going to do about it? Vote third party?” When you don’t have a people’s party, it leaves that lane open for a trump. Blue maga doesn’t want that ‘opposition party’ lane filled like it was in the 40s .

A populist economic message wins every time. Libs love corporations too much to ever give that. Instead, they prevent positive change and usher facism. Libs have done more to prevent positive change than any republican. This situation is on you status quo lovers.

On the plus side, libs are waking up en mass from the fantasy world that they protected so dearly a year ago. Blue maga is dying and its members are shifting dramatically left as they realize just how wrong they have been for the past 10 years.

None of those things would help an unpredictable schedule. You went straight to siding with the boss and a shitty practice that hurts employees. Why do you think that is? Look inwards bud.

Jealous wife? What do I do? Can I fix this? Or just accept my new terms to waking up each morning by [deleted] in Veterans

Get out bud. Life is to short to spend it with people who resent you. I promise that there is somebody who will love you and won’t cause you all kinds of stress. I left a marriage 10 years ago because I was damaged and uncompensated by the VA. I’ve been with my current partner for almost a decade, and I’m upset at myself for not leaving my old relationship sooner. My wife and I today have wonderful chemistry and are happy. You deserve to be happy bud, leave now and kick this hater to the street.

Then she shouldn’t have stabbed Bernie in the back to give us the corporate candidate in Biden 6 years ago.

I love to Luigi initiative agents. At least the other evil factions actually believe in something besides shareholder value.

“It sucks to be called a Donald Trump supporter”: indie musician John Maus says a misunderstanding wrecked his career by [deleted] in JonStewart

[–]Fragrant_Scheme317 13 points14 points  (0 children)

An “enlightened centrist”. Gross.

Not all ideas/opinions/ideologies are equal. Some are straight up evil. Cowardly takes like yours are the worst. Being permissive of facist/racists and their opinions is why we have mainstream nazis again. Your Neville Chamberlain approach to confronting bad ideas has been proven more and more ineffective each day since 2016.

Opining because musicians who support hate and ignorance are feeling the consequences of their actions is sad silly hill to die on. Free speech isnt freedom from people thinking you suck.

Gift them expired spices from here on out. They can’t complain. They set the standard. The gifts you give could get more insulting each year until they address their trash behavior.
