This should show everyone clearly, unambiguously, without a doubt that conservatives in America have zero idea what progressivism or leftism is about at all.
It's just words to them. They do NOT care. It's WWE wrestlemania. They want to paint their faces and get swept away in a stageplay and die as heartbroken as the hero if they don't succeed and make all their enemies pay.
We need to like, mass-spam the entire Midwest america with historical romance novels with bodice-ripping sex scenes. I think if more guys just got lost in that shit, we would have a lot less tension and pain in the world.
137What's the old Trotskyite joke? Two members, three parties?
106If the left were even a fraction as organized as claimed, Bernie would have blown the primary out in 2016 and ridden into the whitehouse with solid majorities in both houses.
It honestly roils me how impotent the left is, because an active organized left could grab this country by the balls and drag it into a whole new era, but all we have is a million headed hydra with each neck pulling in a different direction because nobody can get over themselves for long enough to fall in line behind a common objective.
45That sounds like something somebody would say if they knew absolutely nothing about the Left (or were just trying to scare/motivate their own base). The Left are ok-ish at organizing when they’re motivated enough, but they can barely agree on anything and will find any excuse to get into a fight with each other. You’ve got people on the Left willing to virtue-signal about Israel, vote third party and lose the presidency to Trump, a candidate who would make things demonstrably worse for Palestinians and would likely increase aid to Israel and remove any lukewarm constraints that the current administration is limp-wristidly raising. Meanwhile, Republicans will overlook any of the hundreds of things wrong with their candidate and compromise any values they’ve had, just to elect the biggest shit stain in history because they know he’ll make the other side feel bad.
36If that were true, Trump would have never had a chance to become president in the first place.
18Organized left = isn't part of the cult
14Meanwhile there are 3 fractions for each 2 left wing people.
12You’re just saying that because of the time the communists took a break from a revolution against monarchists to shoot at other communists. Or because of the other time they did that
8As usual this isn't something to be taken as an observation of reality, but an attempt to create a reality for conservatives to be afraid of...
It's "the big bad left" all organized like an army ready to steamroll your beautiful conservative values! Of course it has no bearing in reality, but that's not the point. The point as always with them is "be afraid of the left!!"
8Well, I think that there's actually something to this. I've been involved in a lot of organizing spaces, and there's this "our backs are all up against a wall so we have to work towards a common goal of achieving a workers state and not dying due to climate change" vibe going around lately.
8That's a lot of words to say "absolutely not dysfunctional"
5Wtf dude 😆
4I think this just generally highlights the importance of opening a book and reading. There have been centuries of Leftist thought, questions have been raised and they have been answered. Many considering themselves "left" can sympathize with Leftist goals, or even jab at the sources of modern struggles structurally, but lack the organizational and practical knowledge obtained from Theory and applying theory to practice.
The more you read, the more you realize how little you actually know.
3I think this is what the right does, and does really well too. This is why an extremist minority can control the entire US even though the left in absolute numbers should be crushing them.
Organizing the left is like trying to herd cats. Good luck with that.
This is also the good thing about the left, people think for themselves and because of that, have all these differing opinions
3HAHAHAHAHAHAHA why is everything they say pure projection? The left is a mishmosh of 1000 different pet causes with little to no leadership and the DNC has the strategic computing power of a tiger handheld. The right are the ones that can come together and tow the party line. It's just Trump that has made everything a bit more chaotic and given the left a clear target to unify against.
But look back to the Obama days and how solidly they blocked everything.
2I wish we had complete solidarity
1"Vote blue no matter who"
Sadly this is true, but it's more true and worse with the right.
I personally hate tucker, he is a scummy hypocrite puppet, and I personally hate the right and disagree with most of their selfish policies which often serve selective class, corporations or entities... but imo Tucker's statement was right here. If he wasn't, the US would have more than a two-party system. The DNC snupped Bernie in 2016, and pretty much forced him to endorse Hilary, the opponent who conspired against him and had vastly different stances on almost everything he campained for, and made him sell "vote blue no matter who" while conceding and pretending it's the same as voting for Hilary. If this was not true, he would've been able to fight and speak out.
With that being said, the right do the exact thing 10 times worse. Their main strategy is to oppose the left and block every proposed senate bill by them just because. The GOP is also full of senetors who opposed Trump then endorsed him and again it's all because of the two-party bullshit
