    This kind of “same guy both sides” mentality is why you guys are fucked and why you fucked the rest of the world and gave us trump, he’s the same as Biden right so why not? You guys were like “we will never vote for Biden! Sick of old white guys. We need something different!”

    “Here’s an educated black woman instead “

    “… no. Not that”

    The American left has splintered and nobody is good enough or left enough for anyone else, if you’re even slightly right or even left of someone you may as well be a genocidal Nazi. What’s an ally? No such thing to American leftists anymore, you either conform 100% or you’re a Nazi. Meanwhile the right united and smoked you guys. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, the American left has to reflect American culture, after all you’re American, so no wonder the American left lost their mind.

    By the way, im shitting on American leftists only, we leftists around the world still have a brain and are shaking our heads at you guys

      American liberals fucked themselves and the rest of the world.

      American capitalist democracy has been failing for more than a decade and liberals have done nothing but defend it from reform.

        The u.s needs young progressives, I never caught on to Bernie. How are people gonna complain about old white, wealthy men being i power while asking for Bernie?? Makes no sense. He’s got great ideas but can’t win and is too old. Hopefully AOC gets to be president before she becomes a corrupt career politician

      Ah yes, the liberal mentality where leftists are somehow both completely irrelevant as a voting bloc that politicians need to court, and at the same time leftists are solely responsible for any and all votes not received by whatever incompetent candidate the liberals presented.

        Your comment only proves my point. This whole “liberal” being used in a derogatory way because you al think we should speak like Americans, and if you’re a liberal so what? I’m not an idiot who thinks a liberal is the same thing as maga, I have nuance. I am far more left than you but again proving my point, i disagree with you so therefore I must be maga right? You guys want no allies anymore, and then you cry that nobody takes your side. The American left has become extremists, and just as toxic as the right but in the opposite way

          Dude, liberals are people who support and idealise capitalism. They are right wing. It’s like that around the world. It’s not “talking like Americans”. On the contrary, people from the US confuse what’s left and what’s liberal a lot. That’s a nuance to be aware of.

            I can pull definitions of words out of my ass too. I can come up with quite a few for Americans. Funny thing is im indigenous and I have never experienced so much racism and intolerance from the left as I have this past election. My native ass getting lectured by middle class white kids about privilege and colonialism and genocide while they call me all sorts of horrible names for calling out their hypocrisy. Y’all loved and still benefit from the raping you gave my country and people, but lord forbid anyone call you Americans out for it.

            The American left has reached a point where they think they are a bigger minority than actual minorities, and they are above the guilt of the system they live in just cause they grudge it while participating in it. The American left thinks they are above racism and bigotry, while practicing it. “All that horrible shit, that’s republicans! See so im not responsible! I can’t possibly be ignorant! I went to college and I put down people who didn’t regularly!” Is all the American left is now

              I’m not sure if you are, directly criticizing me, or if that comment is more generally about the experiences you had. I have never even visited the US.

              I’m sorry that you have to face all that racism.

          Dude the Dems have never bothered courting leftist votes. We have basically nothing in common ideologically except for maybe some crossover on identity politics stuff. Now y’all want to have our support because your prosecutor status-quo DNC candidate was defeated running on imo terrible unsupportable policies no different to Biden? We don’t do voting for the lesser evil. Put up an actual progressive candidate and leftists will be happy to vote for them. FYI being black or being a woman doesn’t automatically mean you’re progressive. That’s reductive and prioritises identity politics over policy substance. You don’t get to keep your neo-liberal policies and your leftist votes. Pick one or the other. And don’t blame leftists because you keep making the wrong choice.

          I mean, you’re kinda talking directly to me.
