I texted for Bernie in 2020. I'm not even American. The funniest thing is that when I told an American friend about it she was shocked and brought up "foreign interference in elections"

So I guess I was one of those foreign agents they warned you about

thought andrew yang was kinda cool, threw a couple bucks his way (like he was a street entertainer or something, not real support)

I was a cop for Halloween when I was six back in the early 90s. Easily most regrettable decision.

No lie. I did too. I watched countless hours or Rachel Maddow. And used phrases like the radical left to distance myself from commies.

Out of all the liberal media obsessions (Harry Potter, Ted Lasso) this is the one I don't get. It's just so grim and horrible hearing about people like the green river killer or Ted Bundy. Last Podcast on the Left has been the only palatable way for me to hear about that stuff, because they very clearly understand the dynamics. Most of the victims being vulnerable, invisible populations and the perpetrators being cis white guys. Also police incompetence and racism.

I used to be confused why punk songs in the 90s would criticize the President. It was Clinton! He's good, right!? He's not bad like Bush or Reagan!

I was a naive little liberal in those Bush years.

Being a radlib anarchist for like 20 years.

I liked and supported Bernie Sanders as a non American back in 2016.

I also voted for the DA once back when Mmusi Maimane was their leader.
