I ain’t young, but this is my first election where I am a real lefty, and… Has it always been this bad?
The liberal seething is just disgusting right now. You can’t be on any place of the internet that has any discussion about politics whatsoever.
If you suggest that the Democrats should be better, then you get called out for trying to make Trump president
If you respond that now is the time to actually put pressure on candidates because they’re running for office and in any fucking reasonable place, this is where they would make campaign promises and you can demand stuff out of them, then they say that you’re being a fascist.
The liberal propaganda is just mind numbing.
Even the traditionally leftist places on Reddit (a place I visit very infrequently, so small changes add up over time when I visit and see the crazies have come out of the woodworks) are getting inundated with a bunch of “but the GOP is worse”, and “we have to compromise” and blah blah blah. Even in some commie spaces.
Like I understand not being a doomer, and trying to actually make things better in the meantime while we build forces for the revolution, but holy shit, it’s like Anyone to the right of Marxist Leninists have immediately caved to pressure.
Nothing breaks a liberal’s brain more than valid criticism from the left. They think of themselves as progressive darlings or the adults in the room and have adapted to a life where politics is mostly about being in a camp better than a camp to their right. Their usual way of coping is to try and slot left criticism into a right camp because they are politically illiterate and only know how to do that one thing. The political class knows this and teaches it
