  • Leftism is when you vote for the democrats unquestioningly with out applying any sort of pressure or having primaries.

    A recent question I’ve been asking my democrat friends in real life, now that trump is hiring 20k more ICE gestapo, lets say Democrats win the midterms and then win the next presidency; do you think they will fire them all? Do you think they’re going to “look soft on crime” and “defund the police” when they refused to last time during massive nation wide protest? The answer is pretty obviously no. The DHS and the USA-PATRIOT act are not even on the table.

      i feel democrat equivalent parties all over the world are like this now. the pretense is literally the only thing left in them, and its paper thin at this point.

      “real” socdems would at least fucking try somewhat.
