The Democrats are not the left, they're the brand the right uses to undermine class solidarity with women, minorities, and LGBTQ+'s

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 11 points 3 months ago

"Diet republicans"

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I am talking beyond democrats. DemSocs and LibSocs.

[–] chloroken@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

So... liberals, not leftists.

[–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

We know that, but they don't

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They claim to be anti-capitalist. The liberals don't. There's the difference.

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (3 children)

DemSocs are socialists

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Socialism with liberal characteristics.

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

A revival of utopian socialism. Just as futile, but treatlerites refuse to learn.

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

I agree

[–] chloroken@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No. Where did you learn this? Someone did you dirty.

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Well yes they are, they're just not revolutionary socialists, are you confusing them with socdems? Or am I missing something?

Libs going mask off:

I get it, maduro isn't swagmaster 9000 or whatever the fuck,

But the fact that this needs to be qualified at all is sickening.

Holy based! Sorry, am new to lemmy, but how can I interact with that post?

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 3 months ago

You can comment as usual. Lemmy.ml is federated with lemmygrad.ml.

Meanwhile Spain

Sadly it's the exception in the "EU"

[–] protist@mander.xyz -5 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Braindead take. I've heard literally no one say what's on the right.

[–] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 months ago

Not quite that, but liberals (who frequently identify as leftist) do tend to have blind trust in western aligned media despite the constant lies when it comes to geopolitics. I've seen many liberals that I otherwise respect express happiness about the kidnapping while simultaneously saying the US is doing something bad either because it's a precedent or because it can turn into an all out war. And I get it, but you don't both sides this kind of thing. The US has killed countless Venezuelans already with sanctions, and recently murdered fishermen and now bombed other Venezuelans. The Trump administration is also threatening other countries in the region and he's recently meddled in at least a few elections, going as far as stealing the one in Honduras. Our governments don't need to be perfect to deserve sovereignty and respect.

I have read it. Multiple times.
