    I don't know why so many of you on this site think you can radicalize liberals.

    They just spent 4 years telling us a return to the Obama style Status Quo is all that is needed to fix this country.

    They aren't going to radicalize, nor are they ever going to help you. Liberalism is the moderate wing of fascism and we're about to witness that when Biden and Harris are pushing to jail protesters indefinitely and push for more bipartisanship with the GOP to screw us with austerity and bailing out banks in the middle of a depression.

    Libs will be OK with all this cause at the end of the day, their ideology revolves around capitalism and the system, as well as upholding the status quo.

    The people you should be trying to radicalize are the regular working class average joes, and talking to conspiracy theorists who actually are pissed off at the government and want change. Liberals don't want change, other than Team Blue being in charge.

      Because the people we usually think of when we talk about liberals aren’t the people we’re hoping to radicalize. Most “liberals” aren’t hardcore Hillary stans or whatever, they’re left-leaning working class people who lean toward the democrats in elections if they vote at all. They’re not really liberals cause most of them don’t have any real ideological adherence to capitalism or liberal democracy, but they’re the kinda people who’ll be voting for Biden tomorrow cause they desperately want things to go back to “normal.” When things don’t go back to normal, a lot of them will lose faith in the Democratic Party and the electoral process as a whole. Sure the PMC libs will go back to brunch once Biden wins, but they’re not the liberals we’re hoping to radicalize

      Have a little faith in the working class. We were all libs once
