Democrats fucking suck, and if they had any backbone to practice what they badly preach this mess wouldn’t exist. But no. Anything to line the pockets of cancerous fecal devouring parasites. They were fascist the whole time, they just thought we believed the mask.
Fuck all of them imo. (Minus 2 ppl)
The right or the left, does not matter, they appear different for posterity sake but in the end they both care more about control. Both are bullies and both are pussies. Most of Gen-x knew this long ago.
Generally people's political views are based on emotion not logical thinking. When anyone goes "what about" they agree with the assessment but try to change the subject or make it the lesser evil.
People still wondering why trans people don't inherently trust the Democrats speaks volumes about how centrism still has a firm grasp on liberals. Neo-liberalism is holding us back.
Me too sister. If anything, Bernie Sanders was the closest thing to a perfect candidate. Every other Dem is a career politician, and based on their reactions to this Trump win, just complete pussies.
I would honestly love to just vote my conscience, but it never seems like decent candidates who believe in the wellbeing of the people in their country make it very far in the running. It’s always who has the most money or who makes the biggest wave with the loudest voice
The right really treats this shit like it's sports. They love their team no matter what and just want to win. I don't think they grasp that we don't like our options. We at best tolerate them.
The Dems have been fucking this up and giving easy layups, they could actually choose to be supportive but they only do so when it suits them, even tossing their progressive members under the bus, especially when they fail. It gets incredibly frustrating to support them at even the most basic level.
Agree with most except the socialist part. Hybrid economies are the best. Socialism cannot actually purely exist simply because it means sacrificing free will, comparative innovation, and comparative advantage of an individual. We all want an advantage. That will never change.
I’m a registered democrat only to vote in the primary for the most left leaning voice, because there isn’t a competitive 3rd party yet that can submit a candidate for the presidency. Otherwise I would NOT be affiliated.
No, I get you. I consider myself as independent, never really aligning rigidly to any political party. My views politically are rather fluid, but consistently I am progressive in regards to human rights and equality...
...and adamantly anti-Authoritarian to a fault, no matter where in the political spectrum that authority lies (In my case, in one extreme being Nicolas and the other extreme Donald).
The reason I doubt that will ever happen is both the Dems and R’s are always going to nip that shit in the bud as early as they can. It’d take a massive social movement to even challenge them, let alone win. And they’d have the entire government system up against them.
A third party needs to grow from a local level up. There are no prominent 3rd party politicians in the house or senate. No 3rd party governors. For a presidential candidate to have sway, they need a foundation and coalition to back them. Otherwise it’s a waste of time and votes.
The only label that'd be useful to differentiate between other leftists is Anarchist because it's such a completely different ideology to other leftist beliefs

Completely unable to understand how the other side can vote for someone while holding their nose.

Praxis people. C'mon.
May as well just go with the one who aligns better with your values, even if just barely.
At one point being called a liberal was the go to word for progressiveness. Then it got co-opted. I’m not really for club titles at this point.
I don't know if I'll ever commit to a political party ever because of constant changes in their tones and inconsistencies with who they support.
everyone's a snake and we have to fend for ourselves and each other within collective community.
