Not dividing the left, just consolidating the right

True. Sorry, your ideology lost so hard that half of it was Trump's 1st term policy. Concede to the left for once in your god damn lives or suffer liberals.

When a casual acquaintance asks my political leaning, I say Democrat to keep things simple. But, really, I'm a Bernie guy. I don't want to talk politics, and trying to explain that Democrats are actually center-right is just too much effort to put into... well, just about everyone nowadays.

Okay, but Sanders isn’t on the left, either, despite calling himself a socialist. Sanders will say that It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism, and he’ll complain about “crony” capitalism and “über” capitalism, but as a liberal he’ll never question capitalism as such. He’ll never question private ownership of the means of production.

Anarchy is not left in the US unless they’ve all of a sudden come around on social programs.

Welfare capitalism is not the left; it’s the leftmost part of the right. The left is socialism. Anarchists are socialists. Liberals are not.

The American Libertarian sects tend to loosely regard themselves as anarchist, which is frustrating as all hell.

Anarcho-capitalism is opportunistic enough to co-opt anything.

come around on social programs.

Wat.

Anarchists are the ones who are consistently making social programs from scratch. Direct action is and has always been about feeding people as well as sabotaging bulldozers.

well its the most left wing party in the US that has a chance of winning

Being left of reps doesn't make you left.

[+] blinfabian@feddit.nl -17 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

no, but it unfortunatly is the only option for leftists in the US (or revolution cough cough)

[–] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 38 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

if Democrats are the "only option" then leftists have no option.

Democrats are losers even when they win, so might as well vote for the "actually leftist" parties instead. they'll lose the election, but Dems lose after they win.

if leftists vote for a representative cuz "they can win", but when they win they don't represent leftists, why should leftists vote for them?

fuuuuck that shit.

Dems suck, they think/act like they know best. They tell us they're gonna do what they're gonna do anyway and that we need to follow em like good employees or kiddos. no thanks, i don't need "reps"like that, they can eat shit

I'm good continuing to vote 3rd party. ill take my L with pride rather than vote for those professional losers ever again

My take from the person that you are replying to is that they support Fetterman

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 11 points 13 hours ago

Yeah the most pro Nazi democrat of them all. Er go I have no choice but assume this person is just a fascist that doesn't like the optics of republicans except when, of course, they apparently do.

[–] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 11 points 17 hours ago

Having a chance of winning means you are on the right, that's the whole thing

[–] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 34 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Just like the pit of infinite despair and spiked dildos is technically different from the pit of infinite spiked dildos and despair; being to the left of republicans because you want to burn orphans for warmth instead of fun does not make you left wing nor a good choice.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 32 points 18 hours ago

And they do nothing for the left when they do win - fuck them.
