This is whats wrong with liberals...

@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.

@AbbeyP That is very true

@babieseatcrap That's the thing. Americans of all flavors want a higher minimum wage. We just don't have representation in Congress. The "political left" is nearly non-existent because nobody in government is actually a fucking lefty

@BlueMetalChick but but... making the life for your own population better would be communism..

@Madgirl Of course. Remember, if it benefits people who aren't rich, it must be communist and therefore bad.

@Madgirl so what , how many streaming services have you signed up for that you pay for ?

@SW-User ahem... i torrent my stuff

@Madgirl then good , just ignore them and stop making them rich

@kaf9292 Are you orange

@ididntknow HELL NO.

@kaf9292 And so say cnn, and so msnbc, and so say nbc, and so say abc, you indoctrinated, brainwashed fool, or otherwise known another useful idiot, stop listening to the propaganda, think for yourself, that’s if you’re capable, of course

@BlueMetalChick I'm left-leaning.

Not sure if leftist, though.

@GeistInTheMachine I'm a pretty hardcore leftist. We despise the idpol bullshit. The only people who embrace it is shit ass centrists pretending to be progressive, the Pelosi types.

@BlueMetalChick True.

@PervertedPrincessOfDeath What is a "T"? Can't figure if you have a penis or a vagina?

I'm sorry how is what i have in my pants any of your business?

@DeluxedEdition i am pretty sure you never worked a day in your life... or managed to finish highschool.

@Madgirl We ARE worried about regulating banks. You know who keeps stopping us? Y'all.

@quitwhendone exactly, thats the stuff the left should be focusing on. redistributin of wealth. that would fix many of the other problems too.

@Madgirl That's the stuff we ARE focused on. The idiots who scream about idpol are not leftists. Us leftists hate those fucking poseurs.

@quitwhendone Yes. If income is income, regardless of source, it would change everything.

Even if you just make those who were the target of Sen. Sanders' push for taxation--the traders on Wall Street who make every dime from trading, thus only pay capital gains--we could fund the "college for everyone" initiative.

Of course, treating it all the same would help Social Security, Medicare, ...

@ronisme1 Yes.
