they tell you you gotta compromise. that you gotta go with the more pragmatic, more realistic option, the one that they say polls better. and the moment they win, they stop even mentioning that compromise they told you to accept, much less fight for it. doesn't leave a good taste in the mouth. - ThreadSky

The thing about the liberal demand for compromise this that only the people that want to actually, ya know, DO anything are the ones that have to compromise. It's a shush with words glued on.

some of them aren’t even pretending they’re gonna compromise lol

penfoldsfiv.bsky.social•6 days ago

lol i remember when they were all “we don’t need your votes, we’ll win without you” and then they were shocked that they lost!

thehell.zone•6 days ago

surely “we need you but you can go fuck yourself” will work better

Amazing how quickly the narrative flipped from "our win this election will prove that outright rejection of the far left is popular and a winning strategy" to "Harris did EVERYTHING SHE POSSIBLY COULD to pander to the left and they still act like she wasn't listening to them, that's why she lost!"

they're such snakes!

spacetwinks.bsky.social•6 days ago

there are very few people who tell you to compromise who are actually gonna fight for that compromise. the vast majority are just telling you that stuff to 1. get you to shut up and 2. hope the problem just goes away on its own.

not a lot of people who firmly stand their ground at a midway point.

That's centrists for you: constantly berating the left (never the right), always saying "you people can't always have it your way" (nm that we never do), and when you ask them what position they would work for, it gets real uncomfortable.

rozorosso.bsky.social•6 days ago

unbending faith in the 'moral arc of history' insofar as it means they never have to do or think about anything uncomfortable. to the liberal view, any group that deserves rights will inevitably get them if they're patient -- and if they don't, well,

It pisses me off that conservatives and fascists can run on unhinged platforms that make no political/economic/social/practical sense and then when they get elected they follow through on it and everyone acts surprised

I want some of that action. I want liberals with balls

I think that may be an oxymoron

I want us to stop equating courage with having male genitalia.

A "big tent" is a double-edged sword.

ryanoneil.bsky.social•6 days ago

Liberals with courage

Liberals with guts

"Liberal" and "Courageous" are antonyms.

we dont need liberals, we need leftists

This definitely is one way to prove you don’t know how a political compass works…

drpopcorn-nsfw.bsky.social•6 days ago

wdym? in the States, liberals are only slightly left-of-center

ariaofeffect.live•6 days ago

Do you know what each axis of a political compass means?

You do know left-right refers to economic models right? Social issues is liberal-conservative axis…

So when it comes to social issues you need a liberal

Also in the states the furthest left you go is dead-center on the compass…

vsocialist1988.bsky.social•6 days ago

Liberals are also fascists and dreaming of them being anything other than that is delusion.

Liberals are the enemies just as much as the Cons.

Also, a lot of the time, those same people are completely unaware of how much work HAS been done quietly, softly, with care. They act like nothing was being done before the moment the work becomes loud and harsh

lilbrownbat.bsky.social•5 days ago

A good bullshit filter is if they say "well, what have you tried?" (or "well, what's YOUR plan?"). Sure indicator of bad-faith arguments.
