One quote from last night stuck with me (though I can't remember who said it): "Republicans have been trying to grow their party for 4 years. Democrats have only been trying to grow their party for 4 months."
Leftism
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

Yea but they won’t court the “left”(what little of a left exists in America) because the DNC doesn’t want leftist or even center-left policies, they like and want center-right policies that republicans 30 years ago pushed.
Why did they even have to work so hard for your young left vote? You saw the alternative, and you knew the consequences to staying home. You will suffer it not their party. I thought you guys were the smart ones and would know to take the lesser of two evils, instead of standing to the side to let the worst one in. And again you will suffer, no matter how much you say "that's what Democrats get I hope they learn", while you burn.
Anyways I just don't get it guys. Sometimes in life you have to eat shit and like it. But instead you decided to cut off your nose to spite your face.

Exactly. You're taking the high horse, ethical, "I won't sink to their level" strategy against people who literally have no ethics, scruples, morals, or shame. They are depending on you to fight fair. So they can punch you in the back of the head when you turn your back. People who present themselves as more intelligent, moral, and noble prove once again that they're rubes and marks.
What the fuck is it going to take that you have to fight fire with fire with these lateral pieces of human shit?
"When they go low, we go high", Obama said..... only to be met with "You go high, we'll go low, because low gets us votes."
America's far left is just normal shit.
"Hey how about everybody gets food and can see the doctor"
"How about suck my dick and be my slave"
"Whoa whoa you two, let's be civil. Especially you, first guy 😠"
