Not sure what you are on about. Are you confusing democrats with leftists?

@ViciDraco no am saying leftists used to be groovy but something gone wrong

@meltingflowers You sound like you're talking about Hippies more than Leftists.

meltingflowers · 26-30, MNew

@ChipmunkErnie hippies are leftist

ViciDraco · 41-45, M

@meltingflowers Leftists are still generally anti-war, pro-environment, against microplastics, and all of that. So I'm wondering if you mean the same thing I do when you say leftists. Who do you think of when you think of a leftist?

@ViciDraco As I said elsewhere, the Weather Underground and other 1960s radical groups.

@meltingflowers no, who are the leftists that you say have changed. Who are you saying is a leftist today.

meltingflowers · 26-30, MNew

@ViciDraco the leftist attitude has changed if anything

ViciDraco · 41-45, M

@meltingflowers based on what?

ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M

@meltingflowers Hippies were pretty much non-political and stoned -- I was there. LOL

@meltingflowers

It really hasn't. Leftists are still anti-war, but we believe in self-defense. When Russia invades Ukraine, we side with Ukraine. If we were pro-war, we'd side with Russia.
