the title references the left, but the picture references liberals. I'm confused.

@BlueVeins the liberals are the problem of the left

@Madgirl I mean yeah, but liberalism isn't really a left-wing ideology, it's centrist at best. Outside of trumpism, the GOP is largely a liberal organization, at least in rhetoric. With some notable exceptions, they overwhelmingly support capitalist economics, free speech, and the rule of law. Liberalism is, at best, the right flank of leftist thought, with ideologies like socialism and anarchism at the left flank.

@BlueVeins well left and right is hardly a good system to describe the bandwith of political topic, but it boils down to it in a 2 party system. however important economical problems often get overshadowed by petty problems these days. the word "social justice" is viewed as something bad today cause people use it for every weirdo topic instead of economical equality

@Madgirl Yeah, I agree. The democratic party has largely been taken over by greasy corporatists who don't actually want to address the class issues that their constituencies care about, so they focus on identity shit that ultimately gets very little done.
