Supporting genocide is right-wing, "reaching across the isle" to republicans is right wing. Failing to defend people from republican policy is right wing. Listening to corporate needs before the general public is right-wing. Failing to enact leftist policy is right-wing. Sacrificing millions of people to a disease because you're scared people will like welfare is right-wing. Hating communist countries and sanctioning them is right-wing. Filling your party with landlords is right-wing. Being buddies with war criminals like Bush JR just because he doesn't like Trump is right-wing. And defending literal Nazis? Yeah, I shouldn't have to tell you that's right-wing.
If you support the Democrats you are not a leftist, you are not progressive, you are Trump with a blue coat of paint.
You’re not going to convince any libs who call themselves “leftists” because Trump being a right winger isn’t the reason they hate him.
All the American libs I’ve talked to are voting for Kamala because they don’t want to think or care about politics at all. They want to go back to brunch and watch Netflix and not having to feel second hand embarrassment from Trump being a buffoon on world stage. They want the adults in the room to be in charge and they can sleep soundly knowing that American interests will be well protected from foreign adversaries. They want the genocides to be committed off screen, and not having to deal with these uncomfortable topics in their everyday lives.
Seriously, go out and talk to libs. None of them want to hear about Palestine. They know it’s bad but they don’t want to hear about it. And if you keep bringing up the issue in conversation you’d soon find yourself talking to a bunch of people who have these words going in their heads: “oh here they go again. how long are they gonna take before shutting up this time? we’ll just pretend to agree so they’ll shut up faster”.
Every time you’re in the room, you can almost feel as if people are silently begging for “please… please don’t bring up anything about Israel and Palestine… we don’t want to hear about it….” And keep doing that a couple more times, soon enough you’d find yourself “uninvited” to social gatherings you used to be a part of.
That’s just the reality if you are friends with liberals.
