MODERATORS
You have an incredibly inaccurate view of left wing politics. Leftists don't have a problem with staying in shape or self improvement. They do have a problem with discrimination against those who can't stay in shape. Leftists are not opposed to cochlear implants, this is laughably inaccurate. Leftists are the ones pushing for universal healthcare. Leftists want free college so people can improve themselves. They want workers to have more power, trade unions are full of some of the most hard working people in America. The only part about Taylor Swift that aligns with American conservatism is that she became incredibly rich by having rich banker parents fund her music career from a very young age.
You really should try to see what actual leftists are advocating, not some culture war garbled YouTube videos are telling you.
I'd say you have a pretty inaccurate view of left wing politics.
Which is understandable. There's been a major shift in the past 15 years that really fundamentally changed the mainstream left.
You and I probably have similar political views in many ways, but when you stand in a stream, you don't have to move for the water to pass you by.
Better open your eyes before it's too late -- you'll get your bank account shut down for wrongthink.
No really, you are the one who has no idea what the left is advocating. I am very involved in leftist politics. If you agree with the things I said you are likely more aligned with the left than you think..
No idea what the bank account comment is about.. sounds like some weird conspiracy theory stuff, really dawg lay off the utube videos
It was weird conspiracy theory stuff when the Liberals and NDP illegally invoked the emergencies act to shut down the bank accounts of people contributing to a peaceful protest.
I'll lay off the conspiracy theory channels of... the house of commons video feed.
Are you talking about Canada?
Yes. The alleged socialists showed exactly what they actually think about the working class.
Where are you getting your information from? Teenagers on TikTok or Tucker Carlson’s Twitter account?
