I know you think you're able to read my mind, but I am genuinely baffled why so called leftists have decided "liberal" is the best insult for people they don't like. I'm old enough to remember when it was just right wingers who hated liberals, so this is genuinely disorienting.

Are there a lot of shitty Democrats? Absolutely, but it wasn't liberalism that made them that way, and pretending otherwise isn't just wrong, it's counter-productive. Also, it's extremely counterproductive to building a strong anti-fascist resistance.

Yes! It is! Liberalism is exactly what made them this way!

I was much more of a leftist when I was younger, and gradually drifted toward liberal after Obama won. Thank God I realized how brainwashed and stupid I was.

Obama felt for a brief shining moment like the system as built could work, it’s so fair to have been pulled into liberalism by it. 8 years in it was clear how untrue that was, but unfortunately the only people who saw it at the time were made into pariahs

Liberals are actually worse than conservatives in many ways. At least conservatives will proudly admit to being evil.

Id rather deal with someone who outright says they want me dead than the guy who says they're my friend before slipping poison into my drink

At least when my brother tried to slit my throat for being trans, I saw it coming and there weren't people (outside my family) trying to insist I was wrong for beating him into submission

Ok so you may actually be stupid. 1. Leftists punch right, liberals are to the right of leftists, so yes, they’re going to get hit lol 2. Are you seriously claiming you don’t understand how a staunch DNC defender could be called a liberal? Lemme ask you what ideology you would say that guy is.
