    Amen.

    liberal/left can’t seen to understand why they keep losing… but then makes no legit effort to like have a actionable plan for any of their political goals.

    And if you suggest such actions/plan/pragmatic thinking, you’re basically voted off the liberal ‘happy think only’ island.

    I’ve been left-wing I feel like for 25 years, but the entire time I left the politics was moving away from me. As much as the right parodies the left as being elitist and out of touch and delusional… it’s like the left now actively embraces that vision of themselves and actively pursues it.

      Here in Brazil, during our dictatorship, we had a 2-party system, ARENA, the “yes” party and MDB, which was the “yes sir” party. Feels like USA isn’t too far off

        This is 100% the wrongminded mentality we are talking about. We need systemic change to how we vote. We need politicians with actionable plans worth voting for. We need people who understand how voting ACTUALLY works in this country. But nah, man, just fucking vote! That’s the solution!!1!

          Well yeah, and none of that will be possible until the fascists are turfed out, which can only be done with voting for now.

        What are you voting for if there’s no plan? Gut feeling? I like that guy?

        How is that acceptable, a person who’s not even able to make up a plan is definitely not fit for government.

          You turf the fascists out, then you work out a plan.

          When your house is on fire, you gtfo. Worry about how you’ll rebuild it afterwards.

        without a plan there is nothing to vote for. why would anyone vote for the status quo that the left/liberals so viciously defend?
