Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Rules:

Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
No brocialism/sexism
No ableism
No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
No racism
No trolling
No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

The Democratic party refused to understand that courting the right doesn't work - and now it's cost them the election (lemmy.world)

The Democratic Party is basically dead now. Time to sit back and watch the MAGAs eat themselves. Clock ticking.

Democrats just aren't going to be the progressive party. How many times are you going to fail to learn this lesson?

It's pretty stupid of Dems to think that white conservative racists are going to vote for a black-indian woman? WHAT were they thinking?!!!

They were thinking exactly what they were paid to think.

Liberals all over Lemmy are having a genuine, threatening existential crisis right now and it’s so fucking hilarious. Like, I am laughing at them from the depths of my soul right now.

Imagine being a liberal, thinking this entire time that you have the correct worldview, you are a “good person” and on the “right side”.

And then reality comes crashing down on you. That must be genuinely traumatizing for people as weak as liberals.

Looks like the leftists were correct the entire time. Shocker.

No leftist would be bragging about a Trump win. A leftist would be worried about the people who are in danger now. You're not a leftist if this is your belief.

In part, yes, but it's a more complicated issue though. It's a death by thousand cuts.

There's also the whole doubling-down on the Israel-Palestine conflict, Twitter propping up the far-right everywhere it can, etc.
