I am a liberal. I am a socialist. I am a Muslim. I am Jewish. I am gay. I am disabled. I am a woman seeking to control her body.
I am a liberal. I am a socialist. We exist.
You are invalidating my identity and lived experience
libs who lean left unlike democrats is sure a sentence i just read
I think most Dems are libs who lean right (or straight up conservatives like Biden) but the ones considered extremists could maybe be libs that lean left. I would call Bernie Sanders a centrist, is that kind of a left leaning lib?
Being a centrist doesn't make you left leaning, it makes you a centrist.
Yes but if you are liberal who is also a "centrist" would most other liberals be to the right of you if they aren't "centrists"!
Sure, they are. That doesn't make you left-leaning, it means they're right-wing and you're centrist-leaning. Left and right wing politics are an absolute measure, not relative. Reagan isn't left-wing compared to Mussolini, they're both far-right politicians, it's just an (arguable) difference in terms of how far to the right.
A smug European lib maybe?
Local libs love to dunk on the US and how much better they are (when a republican is in office, otherwise America is the big friend across the ocean)
really from what i've seen people are willing to dunk on America all the time. You have to be a right wing freak who thinks the Irish should be dealt with via a repeat of the boer war to actually like the Americans it's very weird to do
also Joe Biden if you don't step your game up and do some leftist shit the British people who are stupid and evil enough to think there should still be paratroopers in belfast will continue to admire you
Because this one sentence I am leaning towards it being someone's bit account. Just to perfect.
You're a liberal or you're a conservative, everyone knows this
OP actually is a liberal tho for not posting the link
The long in-depth comments on these lemmy posts really put us to shame.
would love for this person to explain what liberalism is :wonka-listening:
it's when you proudly support Disney in its war against DeSantis.
liberals and confidently not knowing what words mean, name a more iconic duo
If they were just trolling and trying to piss of as many chapo as they can, this would be the most effective post possible.
Eh, maybe they simply don't know the lexicon, they probably think "liberal" means "to not hate gay people"
A lot of Americans think liberalism started with FDR and Keynes and thus liberalism means state agency to implement a protection of society against market volatility.
lmao if you can find me an american outside a university or this website who even knows who keynes is i'll send you $20 via carrier pigeon
The funny thing about Neoliberal is that they include FDR as a neolib but also say he's one of the worst presidents because of internment camps while liking McKinley's genocidal ass
damn, it's a coin toss as to whether this is painfully ignorant or a very clever bit
It's like an adaptation of Clarke's Third Law. Any sufficiently brainwormed take is indistinguishable from comedic genius.
Liberal!
