Out of curiosity, how do they interpret 3rd party left-leaning votes, particularly in swing states? Obviously those wouldn’t have decided this election, just curious since you seem to be in the know.

about 1/3 of americans of voting age do not vote. its not just that 3% who are unmoved by the two options served up by the decaying US political system

if you think he’s the only rich dude to say whatever he needs to get what he wants, i’ve got a bridge to sell ya

look into comprehensible input

Similarly, areas surrounding DC in Maryland and Virginia should be labeled DMV, not Chesapeake.

i have a disgusting amount of the plotly api memorized

hemp seeds too

You’re right, it is much worse. The goal is to breed them as quickly as possible, use them for their wool while they are useful for it, and kill them much younger than their lifespan for their meat. I think it would be a kindess to slowly stop that torturous cycle.

For something intended for people who haven’t read these books, there sure are a lot of spoilers.

it’s definitely not a movie best enjoyed sober

socialists have not abandoned the most universally recognized leftist symbol lmao

Did you forget him putting kids in cages?

You mean the policy the Biden admin has continued to uphold and has considered making even more restrictive as a political negotiating tool? No, I remember quite well.

He pulled this type of shit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeju_uprising.

We’re splitting hairs here but he was a US puppet that happily killed his opposition.

It’s perfectly fine to use “whataboutism” to counter tired talking points that do nothing to advance actual discourse. Like yea, people died in capitalist countries too, how is that in any way advancing a discussion about these differing economic systems. Go a step further, ask why these things happened in communist countries. Think about how they differ from similar situations in a capitalist country. Engage with the ideas and then we can have honest discourse.

It doesn’t mean literally eat them…

Look, I won’t argue with you on semantics. You’re free to disagree with the common definition of liberalism that socialists use. It’s really just a convenient term for people that are pro-capitalist. It’s not intended to be a nuanced term, and I doubt most reasonable socialists would directly equate Republican fascists with Democratic progressives, even if they see both as problematic.

That’s fine, just understand that you’re using a US-centric framework that differs from what socialists mean when they say “libs”. From our perspective, if you’re pro-western-capitalism (and thus pro-neoliberalism) you’re a lib. Democrats, Republicans, doesn’t matter.

I’m on the left in this picture and I don’t like it.
