It's important to note that liberalism is fundamentally a right wing ideology which consists of two main parts. First you have political liberalism which focuses on all the wholesome ideas we hear about such as individual freedoms and democracy. But the second part is economic liberalism which deals with free markets, private property, and wealth accumulation. These two aspects form a contradiction. Political liberalism purports to support everyone’s freedom, while economic liberalism enshrines private property rights as sacred in laws and constitutions, effectively removing them from political debate.

As a result, liberalism inevitably justifies the use of state violence to safeguard property rights, over supporting ordinary people, which directly contradicts the promises of fairness and equality. Private property being seen as a key part of individual freedom under liberalism provides the foundational justification for the rich to keep their wealth while ignoring the needs of everyone else. Thus, all the talk of freedom and democracy ends up being nothing more than a fig leaf to provide cover for justifying capitalist relations.

So when maga says they're owning the libs, they're owning themselves as well.

Right, because they're just the socially conservative wing of liberalism. They're fully on board with economic liberalism.

I'll, begrudgingly and will fill knowledge of how they suck, vote democrat, specifically to keep republicans out of office, until I'm given a more effective and viable solution of who to vote for.

I do and will continue to do work outside of the voting system to fix things, but that's off topic and outside the realm of voting.

You can do other things in addition to voting, but everyone should vote

You're right, PSL needs more votes this election season. Also the green party is alright.
