Leftists are the only one trying to fix the boat. The liberal will say we must compromise with the shooter, and try to vote him out of the boat in four years.

which they will immediately fail by trying to appeal to his cult that will never stop voting for him at the clear and undeniable cost of alienating their own voters. maybe a dick chaney endorsement!!

We need to stop using ambiguous terms like "leftist". It's way too broad and doesn't help anyone. I identify as liberal (also too broad), and I likely believe in 90% of the policies you advocate for.

Liberals are reactionaries who wish to return to a previous status quo. Leftists wish to dismantle the existing systems, and establish a socialist system. Two goals in absolute opposition to each other.

Yeah, that's not the definition of "liberal"

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

This should be good. Let’s hear your version.

"Fixing the boat" implies they are successfully doing anything other than complain. Leftists are sitting in the boat yelling at the Liberal for not fixing the boat.
