I have a feeling that stuff like this is made by conservatives to get far-leftists to embrace conservative opinions
:marx-joker:
Conservative opinions like checks notes that poverty should be abolished, the oligarchs should be expropriated and the cishet patriarchy should be dismantled.
Yeah if anything the one bad consequence of left crit of democrats is that it could make apolitical people more vulnerable to criticism of democrats from a far right, populist, perspective. But as long as we make sure to be loud and clear about the fact that both parties are leading to losses for the working class and gains for the ruling class, and fascists will do nothing to ameliorate that except pay lip service to middle class white people, there's no reason why we'd make anyone embrace conservative opinions. That comment was incoherent garbage.
Edit: to clarify what I mean by the first sentence, the way most apolitical people will start to form their opinions will be to just pick a side from one of the two acceptable ideologies, because that's the way you consume politics in America. If we were to only focus on criticizing Democrats and never Republicans, (which to be clear I don't believe to be the case, I see no shortage of criticism to either party) as material conditions worsen and more people start to pick a side they'll be more likely to swing toward fascism, unless socialism somehow becomes a mainstream and acceptable ideology.
I scrolled down a few posts into the sub and saw a quote by Bush Jr. that has 1.2k upvotes, self reflection is apparently impossible for them.
Neoliberals have a near religious devotion to the concepts of incremental innovation and some kind of technological utopia that's just around the corner, we just need to have faith it will arrive when the moment's right. Critique of this concept means you somehow prevent it from happening
In my opinion you're going about this the wrong way.
You shouldn't frame it for leftists. You should frame it for chuds. You should rile up the gammons into spreading it as astroturfed liberal deepstate shit.
January 6th but it's firebombing the :reddit-logo: server room.
Spreading the information around. When the information is sufficiently spread around people will start discrediting the subreddit every time they see it mentioned. It severely harms subreddit growth when people start writing discrediting comments about it after comment mentions and crossposts.

oh look, all the data is derived from what the parties themselves say instead of what they actually do. 🤔
edit: and of course they cherry picked data. Play with it yourself https://visuals.manifesto-project.wzb.eu/mpdb-shiny/cmp_dashboard/
:kermit-pain: I hate these people, mamma fucking mia. That whole fucking post is debunked if you just compare for one minute what these countries are like and what the parties are actually doing.
I will not read it. I will not read it. The CIA hired some insufferable nerd to write a 10 page reddit post and I will not read it.
Wanna guess that the person who wrote that has lived in America their whole life
They're on a negative kick because he ended an imperial occupation, and pissing off the French has added more fuel to it.
it's gone for me as well but if you go to documentaries its the top post
