    As a non American, what I saw from the American left was that nobody was left enough for anyone, “you wanna be my ally but don’t adhere to 100% of my beliefs? FUCK YOU” and if you were even slightly right or left of anyone, they got tossed away in the bin. Im mad at the American left, though obviously not as much as the right, but you all in varying levels are responsible for what we are all having to deal with now as a planet.

      Yeah American “lefitists” are just fascists that don’t like the MAGA fascists.

      They define themselves by what they hate, and they hate liberals, democracy, and of course, the Jews. It’s very rare to see them talk about anything else, the meme above is yet another example of leftists wanting to start another discussion about how evil liberals are. They don’t have anything else.

      You never see them discussing about what their goals are or how they plan to achieve them. Hmmmm… maybe if there were more labour unions that could be a path for them? Ah but labour unions are being promoted by liberals therefore that’s bad! I guess just continue to have protests where they meet up with their friends and exclude anyone that fails their purity tests. That’s a sure way to grow a movement!

      I think mostly it’s just a fashion thing, and they buy whatever the merch store of their favourite social media influencers is selling. Basically like Logan Paul fans but with more hammers and sickles on the merch they buy. That’ll show those capitalists they’re serious!

      You are correct. More people voted against Trump than for him. Most third-party voters put their idealism over realism, knowing full well that their candidate has a zero percent chance of winning a first-past-the-post election.

          Exactly. These idiots are all like “while we have the 2 party system, you have no choice but to vote for one of two parties”. Well duh dumbass, that’s the whole problem. And neither of those 2 parties intends to do anything to ever change that, because its entirely to their benefit.
