Ok, the election is over. Let's organize a third party.
How do we organize? What do we do first?
Anyone else thinking about this?

You realize you posted this on the furthest left instance, right? The comm thumbnail is literally a picture of Lenin.
It was my favorite one out of these other candidates when I was looking for comm pfps to use back when we upgraded the site enough to do avatar pfps
Please don't use the word "liberal" as interchangeable with "left".
Democrats are liberals, yes, as in proponents of liberalism, as in proponents of the natural rights of the individual crucially including the right to own private property. Liberalism is in other words the political philosophy of capitalism.
Left, on the other hand, basically means that relative to another party or ideology, a given party or ideology favors greater equality or less hierarchy. Democrats are today generally left of Republicans, albeit not by much. Democrats, however, are not leftist — because leftism generally points specifically to Marxists, anarchists, and other people who specifically want to abolish private property.
In other words, if you're only thinking of Democrats and Republicans, then Democrats are "the left"; but if you're including all the Marxists and anarchists around, then Democrats are suddenly on the right. The equation of "liberal" with "left" in the USA then serves to confuse people and limit their imagination and understanding: it is best to draw the line between left and right at the point of preserving or abolishing private property, because when one party wants to completely change the whole mode of production of society, and another wants to keep the mode of production as-is, then their use of slogans about the plights of minorities are a purely superficial point of comparison.
Unserious. If you don't see why describing the most illiberal party in America as liberal is stopping us from taking you seriously it's probably time to pick up a book, I recommend State and Revolution or Blackshirts and Reds.
Now this is going to sound rude and elitist but please believe me when I'm saying this advice is very beneficial for you. You really need to work on developing your political education so as to develop a rich depth of knowledge that allows you to move past the bourgeoise' stunted-by-design social construct of a left-liberal right-conservative political spectrum.
lol gonna need you to post hog so that we can verify your account before you can post on this instance more, liberal
