Liberals have always and will always be the natural enemy of the Left and the working class. That's been true for almost 400 years and it isn't changing now.
Corpos are all Center Right. Not a single Liberal among them.
Liberals are by definition pro corporations.

Typical gaslighting liberal nonsense. Keep trying to tell us that corporations don't come first to the Democrats. It's blatant bullshit and every ordinary person knows it.
Ah, so you don't understand that the additional words are there because they are entirely different terms. Cool, cool.
Hint: when you are called an Ass as opposed to when you are called a Dumb Ass, it is referring to different behaviors of yours.
Right wing stooge says what?
If you don’t know the difference between leftist and liberal you should probably crack open wikipedia before you try to crack a witty retort.
"Leftists" as you like to call them don't exist in the US. Leftists in the US are Democrats aka neolibs. Literally the left wing of Congress. The leftists you're thinking of are a rounding error, they effectively don't exist.
But in any case what few leftists there are in the US are working with the neolibs against the regressive neocon fascist bastards trying to take over our country. Fascists are the natural enemy of the working class, and anyone with a brain. Picking libs over fascists is such an obvious take anyone arguing differently is a moron or a boot licker.
Leftists definitely exist in the states. We just don’t have a political party whose candidates we can reasonably vote for.

There's no left politicians in the US. Not even AOC or Bernie.
