once there were democrats in the streams in the mountains

[-] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 3 points 6 hours ago

wimpling softly in the flow

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 21 points 8 hours ago

One thing I don't understand about chuds and libs is this insistence that the "far left" lives in Ivory towers? A lot of people who use this site, for example, are poor, and the other part of the site are mildly comfortable with tech jobs or whatever. Neither of these constitutes '"ivory towers"

This is just projection, they run most if the liberal "democracies" in the world. They own all of the businesses, the media and education.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 4 points 1 hour ago

Pure projection. It's like how Fox News hosts use the term "special interest Ivy League elites" when Bill O'Reilly and Ben Shapiro literally graduated from Harvard.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 hours ago

Their definition of "far left" is Soros though

[-] Runcible@hexbear.net 11 points 7 hours ago

Ivory tower is a reference to academia, not luxury per se

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 12 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Ok but that's still implying all people on the far left are academics, which is wrong as hell

And also, academics aren't paid that much, so it's not like they're billionaires or anything.

[-] Runcible@hexbear.net 14 points 7 hours ago

it's not about pay, it's about anti-intellectualism.

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 9 points 7 hours ago

Those god damn commies and their thinking! Don't they know that thinking ruins america!?

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 8 points 7 hours ago

I know plenty of professors who sleep in their cars. I literally walked past one the night after the election.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 5 points 7 hours ago

Ivory towers though!

[-] Maturin@hexbear.net 4 points 7 hours ago

They work in ivory towers. Where they pull the strings from.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 31 points 9 hours ago

Have fun losing the next election then, Dems!

Lmao they never learn.

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 10 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

They do. They're just lying because its in their interest.

Why do you assume they want to win?

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 7 points 7 hours ago

Controlled opposition go brrrr

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 8 points 7 hours ago

Honestly, I think its more symbiosis of two horrible parasites feeding on the same host than anything conspiratorial.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 25 points 9 hours ago

Disapproving of Ritchie Torres from the ivory tower of...

«checks notes»

... Gaza?

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 21 points 9 hours ago

Then why did millions vote for Sanders twice in the primary, who is considered far-left by this guy’s standards?

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

This guy probably thinks Hitler is far-left

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 47 points 10 hours ago

This man is a menace.

Apparently he represents the poorest district in the country, ran unopposed, and rarely if ever is actually in his district.

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 31 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Liberalism is dead, and these are its last gasping breaths.

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 19 points 10 hours ago

Wait he was up for reelection and no one ran against him?

[-] Barx@hexbear.net 28 points 9 hours ago

In The Bronx too, right in the center of the most electoralist DSA chapter.

It entertains me to no end that electoralists are so bad at what they do. It's like they enjoy the disrespect.

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 3 points 7 hours ago

Almost like losing is the point and electoraliam is just a machine for generating excuses, for people who want to talk about a better world but are afraid of losing their table scraps.

[-] Barx@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago

I dunno I have known many true believers in electoralism among DSA-adjascent types. Obviously the capitalist parties are rife with cynics, climbers, and "I got mine"s, and this bleeds into ostensibly left spaces, but I think most are people who are seriously committed to wrong ideas.

I know one person that has literally never won a single campaign they've been a part of. They've been the campaign manager for several. They call anyone that isn't into electoralism an "ultra" (lmao). And despite all of this, they never actually plan ahead for campaigns and they always start very late. Like... they give their opponents a 6 month head start. For seemingly no reason other than they don't even think about recruiting a candidate until around the filing deadline. And it's not for the money, they're usually unpaid for the work and they have a well-payinh job outside of this. And they have terrible political instincts.

Based on this and other experiences I think it is more that most lefties learn self-criticism and get over their incompetent electoralist phase so the only people that do electoralism are naive baby leftists and the incompetent and arrogant.

Killing the lib brain worms is real.

[-] Piment@hexbear.net 15 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

How are you gonna raise money vs AIPAC's strongest the-democrat soldier. Would have to be a grassroots DSA style candidate and even in this cycle we saw Bush lose her election to a flood of money.

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 25 points 9 hours ago
[-] Angel@hexbear.net 32 points 10 hours ago

And the worst, most alienating thing about the far-left? Pronouns.

[-] Piment@hexbear.net 19 points 9 hours ago

He is also openly gay and Afro-Latino so its especially whack that he's so predisposed against a term other gay Latino people coined for inclusiveness

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 18 points 9 hours ago

The venn diagram of people that are against it and terfs is a circle.

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 4 points 7 hours ago

They (fuck) just can't stop forcing their (shit) fucking prouns into everything (see!?).

[-] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 28 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I swear I saw somewhere that he actually underperformed Harris

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 29 points 10 hours ago
[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 22 points 10 hours ago

I think this tweet is genuinely the most politically illiterate shit I've ever seen.

Like how is this even real

[-] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 15 points 10 hours ago

The urge to reply to this with a fedpost is too strong.

[-] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 21 points 10 hours ago

Dems only have one play: punch left.

[-] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 2 points 6 hours ago

I don't want to defund the police

[-] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 4 points 8 hours ago

These people wouldn’t know the “working class” if it slapped them in the face. In fact it has been slapping them, repeatedly, for a decade
