Tbf r/politics was extremely left leaning.
We get it, you're ~~vegan~~ an anarcho-communist
Just be take a short trip to any country outside the US and you'll realize that it is indeed the case: No left in the US.
There is a left it's just not the established Democrat party.
Ah yes, like Europe?
Spain, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Hungary? Which ~~socialist~~ right wing "paradise" should I visit?
Or maybe Germany, where the AfD is gathering steam?
Maybe actually learn about the world before spouting sayings you learned on Twitter 3 years ago.
Europe sure has a big resurgence in right wing politics, however a socialist left is still represented (albeit on the decline).
I’m not stating that there is a socialist paradise somewhere, just that in the US you can hardly consider the left "left" (Overton window, yadi yada)

Extremely is a stretch.
“Extremely” doesn’t go far enough to accurately describe that cesspool
/r/politics is just DNC lib screeching and astroturfing. Nothing leftist about it. At least not since Sanders lost the primaries in 2016. That was the first major shift there.
Ah, you mean left left... Not left
