their wet-dream candidate won the election, Bernie bent the knee completely, even the mildest succdems have been marginalized, and yet they are still EXTREMELY mad about the Bern. What the fuck is wrong with these people

    "Communism took root on Reddit because redditors see themselves not as spoiled teenagers and man children, but as temporarily embarrassed revolutionaries."

    This is it. We did it. Peak comedy.

    Capitalism took root in the world because people see themselves not as unequal wage slaves, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

      Yeah, okay, cool. Time to stop being embarrassed then.

        Well, when saying what the right action to take is a bannable offense, you limit then kinds of discussions you could get.

      Somebody was posting in one of the general thread about how blackpilled some of these people are about the actual state and future of the US, and I think you can see that reflected in the constant attempts at infantilizing their opponents as material conditions in capitalism continue to deteriorate and radicalize people away from their ideology. They just get really butthurt and bitchy that people could ever think neoliberalism sucks ass.

        I genuinely can't think of a bleaker ideology than "this is the best we can do and we shouldn't try anything else and you're a child if you think we should do anything different."

          Being a liberal is fucking depressing. I used to be one, and it generally meant watching things get worse and worse without really understanding why or having any idea what could be done about it.

    Bernie is the new Ralph Nader to these types.

    If he won, they'd complain. He lost, they kept complaining. He sticks around, they complain. He leaves, and Bernie would still be living rent free until the next "upstart" comes along.

    They're mad because he didn't go away after he lost. Not only that, as long as him (and his ideas) are still around, they offer a more optimistic and compassionate worldview that takes the moral high ground from them.

    They're just people with frustrations in other parts of their lives. They can't solve these problems, so anger-posting on the internet is a kind of therapy for them. It's not Sanders, it's their own shitty lives they're raging against. They feel better afterwards.

      Yeah… uhh that’s so pathetic… and totally doesn’t describe anyone else at all :oh-shit:

        Honestly it describes US political engagement in general, and describes literally all of online politics. Everybody is basically impotent to affect the actual conditions of their society on a meaningful scale, so they're pissed off that more people don't agree with them, even if their beliefs are basically winning right now as the status quo, because they don't see that dominance reflected in people's actual beliefs and attitudes.

        On top of that, I think even the neolibs can tell that all this shit is headed for a shake-up, and that means that the dominance of their ideology doesn't feel as secure as they would like.

    What i like best about the old sub and this site is nobody gets flustered when an opp pops in to own us. I'm the same irl. I have a blue lives Trump guy who is pretty sure I'm a commie and gets upset because he can't get me to engage with him. Next time he does maybe I'll tell him to show me his dick for old times sake.

    Im a fan of pete and like him and also a huge fan of haris and seeking comfort in petes fan for support, it seems like the media are monitoring everysingle thing she does, from the fake news about her giving books to children at the border or them lying about her being a border czar. there is a clear effort by the left and right to damage and smear harris and sadly the polls show its working. its hillary 2.0 again so she can lose to one of the fascists like desantis or cruz thats their ultimate goal and it scares me . thoughts

    There is virtually no activity in this sub. Why is it getting reposted here?

    Either hijack it and lets have some fun or just ignore it.
