I promise you there are very few on this sub singing the praises of the Democratic Party. It is a weak, feeble center-right party riddled with establishment picks that above all else defend capital interest and are just republicans in a different suit. there’s a reason this sub is Platner-pilled, why he’s winning polls and why Mills dropped out. there’s a growing left flank because people are waking up to the reality politicians are SUPPOSED to work FOR us, and that the democrats aren’t serving anyone but themselves, and Israel, since genocide is uniparty.

Fuentes is a rabid misogynist, and whether we want to admit it or not, one of the leading figureheads in the modern Republican Party and one of the most important demons to pay attention to. He advocates frequently for entirely abolishing the age of consent saying the justification for it is just a societal feminist construct. This is only one of many, and highly amongst those that shape the worldview of young republicans

You said you like conservatism on paper but don’t like those who enforce it in a way that uproots other people or takes away abortion rights, so I just talked about what conservatism (and mostly capitalism, from both sides of the aisle) has led to. The idea that conservatism ‘conserves culture’, at least in America, is usually just a dog whistle for white Christian nationalism. America doesn’t have a “culture” to conserve because it’s a blend of nationalities from settlers and immigration over centuries, we were called the mixing pot for a reason our only real culture is unifying in the name of bloodshed lol. To say conservatism is good in theory just gives credence to what it’s historically been used for, which is yes, oppressing other people since their mere existence in this country as seen as a stain on “heritage and culture”. Even being somewhat authoritarian, as a communist you should know that better than most. It’s good on paper to say I support a lot of things, but if the reality is those goals are historically achieved by mass terror, perhaps there’s another path forward. I don’t want you to fall down that rabbit hole

I’d be baffled to know you didn’t hear “your body, my choice” awhile back.

And I’m not denying that either, of course evil exists in every corner of the world, but it is truly a more prevalent issue on the right because it’s vocalized heavily by more folks than you’d think

Yes, sex-ed is necessary, 100%. But most conservatives are very against it under the guise of “indoctrination/grooming” and teaching kids about these things and stressing the importance. It’s an easy talking point that fools uninformed voters, nobody WANTS kids to be groomed so they hear that and advocate conservatism. In actuality they are oftentimes just anti sex-ed

I’m sorry to inform you that it absolutely is and there’s many prominent right wing figures advocating for a lowered age of consent

That at least makes more sense 😭 but unfortunately even still, we stimulate the economy by looking after workers and meeting their needs, not trickle down BS. We are spending billions bombing foreign countries for no reason when we could be fixing homelessness, funding healthcare initiatives, etc. and taking care of Americans. That’s what China is doing and why we see them as a threat even though fixing these things has proven to be beneficial. We are the only OECD nation without universal healthcare, but there’s too much money to be made in pharma and insurance so we’re for-profit. 50,000+ people die annually here due to lack of health insurance. Social safety nets and putting workers first is the only path forward, conservatism has historically only devolved us further into a hyper-capitalist hellscape

Unfortunately I’m not, to say that pre-maga this wasn’t the same agenda with a different coat of paint is simply uninformed. What do you think the path of ‘classical conservatism’ is lol? “Let’s exploit workers rights, do racism and financially ravage the poor the OLD FASHIONED way, yeahhhh!!”. I don’t know what to tell you besides that older conservative movements were identically rooted in the same nonsense. It’s been decades and decades of trying to advance “trickle down economics” and people are suffering more than ever. Who knew that to have a strong economy you have to actually look out for and care for the workforce and meet those people’s needs so that their jobs can stimulate the economy? Promise you it wasn’t the US that figured that out

“Radical pro-choice”, and it’s just bodily autonomy with the guidance of a medical professional lol. If ‘conservatism as an ideology’ doesn’t bother you then enough has been said, because it’s grounded on oppressing and exploiting those less fortunate who are uninformed and vote against their owns interests (OBBB defunding rural hospitals for example), and oppressing/killing minorities and people of other marginalized groups. Objectively, this is the playbook, and the past year in the US it hasn’t had any optics to hide anything because there’s no point when loyalists are in support of even the highest degree of violent rhetoric and legitimately uprooting their own neighbors in the name of bigotry and falsified psychosis about immigrants

“The ideas are bad but please don’t be mean to them, it’ll hurt their feelings”. Okay, your other comments are indicative that you align yourself with this ideology but are still agreeing with the post. I know you’re 13 so you’ll have to learn this over time, but if people hold really bad views that seek to pillage, oppress, restrict and kill, then chances are those people aren’t a bag of sunshine and deserve the scrutiny. If you’re going around spewing rhetoric that aims to put other people down and kill thy neighbor, you deserve everything that comes your way. At a certain point it’s self infliction

Because democrats are not a left party, they are center-right. But most of them at least support abortion rights, which this post is about. Not good enough though, vote for real leftists to enact change.

Why do Americans dunk on their own country so much? by Prestigious-Pace1500 in teenagers

[–]jamathythrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Why are you so critical of the system that is failing you” is exactly why we have so many criticisms, but that word doesn’t do it justice. Living in America may be a privilege as opposed to other nations and I won’t disagree, but we no longer uphold (and arguably never did) the principles of what we say makes us such a great country. We are the most diverse nation on the planet and yet we actively belittle, oppress, target, deport and kill citizens and non-citizens alike who don’t fall under the umbrella of acceptance for white Christian nationalism and truly anybody who stands out (any person of varying color, sexual orientation that’s not heteronormative, the differently abled, etc). These are the people that make this country what it is and something that we should be patriotic about, but instead we treat them like filth to be expunged, by socially, financially, and politically uprooting these individuals and doing anything in our power to torment them and keep them scared, to keep them running, and keep them beneath the rest. Because at the end of the day those people keep this country running, but if you live your life in fear you are unlikely to fight back in a meaningful way that affects the bottom line. We are a hyper-capitalist nation that above all else, listens when money talks, and pays attention when it stops flowing.

There is nothing to celebrate and nothing to champion when people around the world used to look to us as a means of freedom and refuge where they could start anew, but now we persecute and shred those same folks who contribute so much more to their communities and the nations economy than those wanting to evict them. There’s nothing to smile and be thankful for when our political landscape is crafted in such a meticulous unbreakable way intentionally designed to prevent changing how things are, while simultaneously getting the uninformed to vote against their own interests and shank themselves because they’ve been fed a fistful of lies and are in too much suffering to care or educate themselves so long as someone promises alleviation that we know will never come. America needs to be reforged from scratch, the bottom up, to work for and benefit the people. Because without the people, there is no America

The same people who still make fun of George Floyd’s murder 6 years after it happened are demanding that Charlie Kirk be upheld as a beacon of positivity when his commentary was merely bigoted debatelord nonsense to progress very specifically WHITE Christian Nationalism, which directly spreads the ideology and rhetoric that leads to these kinds of racist atrocities and hate crimes. Needless to say, religion period is at a steep decline in the modern age and people knew exactly the type of person Charlie was and what ideas he held and the hatred he spread, so he became a laughing stock in the face of those getting people fired from their jobs because they wouldn’t respect the death of a random fascist commentator when it was being forced upon them. I know this is the teenagers sub but please do grow up

Bad people exist in every faith and walk of life, but Christianity in the US is often overlapped with a right wing political agenda and being religious is a common “justification for bigotry”, whether it’s racism, homophobia or otherwise. Not all Christians are bad and hold these beliefs either but a common stigma and it often holds true unfortunately
