LinkOpensChest.wav ( @LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 13•2 months agoLiberals just bypass the gulag and incarcerate, kill, or deport you and your loved ones
YeetPics ( @YeetPics@mander.xyz ) 1•2 months agoDeportation would remove the risk of any interactions with dirty liberals tho, so isn’t that a good thing?

Edit: On brand that you support deportation though. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
Excrubulent ( @Excrubulent@slrpnk.net ) English7•2 months agoHere is another way in which liberals will disappoint you with their lack of political education. There’s liberals, conservatives and tankies, and no other options I guess.
Tell me, can you provide me with your definition of the word “tankie”? Because they are a specific thing that represents a fringe pariah of the radical left.

Tankies aren’t leftists, and literally all of Hexbear is full of them. .ml too at this point.
Excrubulent ( @Excrubulent@slrpnk.net ) English2•2 months agoYeah but… I mean nominally they claim to be leftist. Honestly I think a lot of them are ideologically on the side of workers but they’re misguided. I don’t think you could claim the same thing for actual fascists, which is why I don’t like the term “red fash”. There are red fash, but they’re actual nazbols, not just people who have fallen victim to revisionism.
BarqsHasBite ( @someguy3@lemmy.ca ) English24•2 months agoThe Democrats can’t do as much as you want them to when there’s a very real chance of losing the election to the Republicans. If you want change, then vote. If you want policy 475, you need to vote for policy 1 first.
stembolts ( @stembolts@programming.dev ) 25•2 months agoThe American system of government is the blame game. For example, few people seem to remember that during Obama’s 8 years in office he had the government for 10 months.
During the 86 other months Republicans exploited that by simultaneously stonewalling everything while going to the media and questioning why the democrats aren’t doing more for the American people. It is a masterfully effective underhanded tactic.
I also agree that everyone should vote. When more people vote, regardless of political affiliation, democrats win bigger. I don’t know why that is true, but it is. So yes, everyone vote!

Peachy [they/them] ( @PeachyMcPeachface@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English1•2 months agoUS Democracy is a type of liberalism, which was created as a reaction to mercantilism and monarchies. Basically means “individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.” which… US Democracy doesn’t lmao.
Different word from liberal and conservative. Kind of like “mankind” doesn’t just refer to men.
