Not true. I pretty much align on the liberal side of every issue, but well, I hate yalls smug bullshit and metapolitics. Im sure this feeling isnt uncommon, this thread is a great example why.
So you're willing to vote against your interests and beliefs because some people on the left are smug? Interesting take, I'm glad you've found the right with their total lack of smug people.
I think the rhetoric and metapolitics the left is engaging in is dangerous, this event case in point. Do I have to quote the people in this very thread calling him proto-hitler?
Also seeing you smug asshats, here and in real life, taken down a notch is very much in my interest.
That seems self defeating, nose meet knife but I guess if you're willing to give up what you actually want for the sake of annoying strangers that is your right. Doesn't seem like a recipe for happiness though.
Yeah, if stuff like that is enough to make you vote against your own interests I honestly don't know what to say except I struggle to believe those are actually your honest beliefs.
I don't like a lot of people on the left in politics but that is not enough to make me want to vote against my interests/beliefs. I don't like you so I'm going to shoot myself in the foot is just dumb.
Isn’t it possible to dislike woke and MAGA but realize woke has real institutional power over everything today and is a corrupt and unmeritocraric set of ideals. Where as MAGA has no real power or influence in anything of consequence and is therefore benign compared to woke.
Is it wrong? Does the right not control the supreme court, senate and house? How about the media? The largest tv news channel is right, basically all popular talk radio is right, the largest newspapers?
How many state governments are run by the right? What are the QoL stats like for those states?
You think Corporations are left wing? Tech employees might lean left at least the more vocal ones but corporations are definitely not left wing for the most part. Media and Academia I can accept and I already mentioned journalism or at least news which clearly favours the right.
Yeah, corporations are clearly left wing with few exceptions. They may not be your brand of left wing but they clearly are left wing. Blatantly so. Dont gaslight.
3.4% of journalists are republicans while 34% are democrats. The reason fox news is the most popular is because its the only mainstream conservative news in the U.S. in a sea of liberal media. The vast majority of journalism and journalists lean left.
Oh of course sorry, I forgot that social media managers are required to be completely honest about their corporate positions when making social media posts latching onto social trends.
I honestly think you might be the first person I've ever spoken to that has fallen for this stuff.
> Oh of course sorry, I forgot that social media managers are required to be completely honest about their corporate positions when making social media posts latching onto social trends.
Yes, congrats on being the only person in the world to believe a corporations social media posts around social issues.
>I'd like you to prove it now, or are you going to claim everyone you don't like isn't part of the true left?
I'm not sure what you're asking of me here? Lots of people on the left I don't like and lots of people on the right I disagree with on a lot of issues but like. My views are very socially liberal, financially I want everyone to have a very strong airtight safety net and access to the essentials for a safe healthy life, but I am also very pro capitalism.
I don't like any corporation though, they are made up of people and can change completely in an instant where excepting a mental health episode individuals aren't like that.
Sign me up for the not uncommon club because you echoed my sentiments exactly. :D
The left has made it impossible to resonate with them as a liberal. They've been as anti-resonant as can be but somehow getting even worse with every passing news cycle.
If nothing had happened over the last few months (even taking into account the last few years and their totalitarian grip over all tech), Biden would begrudgingly still have my vote, though it was hanging by a thread. Then enter Putin-esque lawfare fueled by a fear campaign, the dementia reveal in the debate, lefties mourning the near-miss... "B-but he's gonna be a dictator!!" Lol. Even if that's true, the left brought it in themselves, and it'd be schadenfreude. Be afraid! Be very afraid!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ofIlP1gJ-Ho
