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

    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.
