Online leftie types don’t get angry at republicans when they do evil ghoulish things - they get angry at Dems for not governing like a majority while being a minority. Even then, they spend most of their time yelling at pundits on social media.

Leftists would yell less at the Democrats if the Dems didn't constantly lay claim to us as political allies without actually being allies. We don't yell at Republicans because there's no point in yelling at someone you want to see hanged dead.

The largest conference of the year is going on in DC as we speak. People are going to conference halls to hear JD Vance talk, and they aren’t going to have to even walk past a protester on their way there. Makes you think

There are lots and lots of different kinds of leftist. You are describing people who exist but don’t make up anything close to a majority.

True, there’s lots of different perspectives out there. I’m just describing one group who are a problem on this platform and to a lesser extent irl

Honest question: when you look at the Trump admin, do you not see them making our country poorer, less competitive, more isolated, and less equipped to give our children a good life?

Inflation is down, GDP is increasing, the border crisis has ended and we've had successful strengthening of NATO. It's hard to say if the future lives of children are affected at all after only a few months. But even if you were right, you think "less competitive" is "ghoulish"?

That first clause is one of the funniest and most untrue things I've seen on this stupid site, well done. Just an absolute fabrication said with the conviction of a dentist looking at someone's dirty teeth and saying "you haven't been brushing or flossing." Praying this isn't a bit.

They are generally angry at Republicans, but they're more focused (like the communists in the 1930s) on winning their internecine war against social Democrats, and their main rhetorical gambit to do so is to call liberals fascists. And yeah there's a lot of Green Lanternism among those types.

I think my main gripe is that they think that self-harm-baiting liberals on Bsky is activism on par with MLK marching in Selma… when it’s actually just pointless antisocial behavior.

of course we get angry at republicans. perhaps you're not seeing it but that could be because you aren't paying attention to those types of interactions. what we don't expect republicans to do is fight republicans. we do expect that of dems. i don't think that's unreasonable.

We should also expect the self-described leftists to fight republicans. How is it that 100x more protestors are available to protest Dem events than Republican events?

is it really or is it just not being shown. protests against all kinds of conservative events have been completely ignored by the press at large.

I do agree that protest coverage on the MSM is bad in general, but I’m not seeing anything on social media either.

you're right. but i'm not seeing many posts, either, when i do a search. could be it's flying under the radar, which is troubling, or it's being suppressed, which is also troubling. but in general, i believe there is more protestors

a lot of people who say stuff like "the left only gets angry at democrats" often only care about what the left does when they're cricizing the superstar of the day.

A lot of leftists don't do that though. They coddle working class MAGA voters because they think that the right type of campaign will strip away their false consciousness and turn them into socialists. So yes, they hate fascist leaders but bend over backwards for the rank and file.

i get the anger here, because yeah, voters do need a reckoning, but it's also a weird time right now because a lot of republican voters are leaving and any we can peel away is good. i wanna tell the ones in my family i told you so but they're voting against them from now on and i don't wanna (cont)
