Well if demonizing is saying "this person wants to give you $100 and a hand job", you are doing a terrible job making me think they're a demon.

Their heads would explode if they only knew how far left you can go

I'm pretty sure their heads would fall off neatly into a basket if they really found out how far left one can go.

I wouldn't call it neatly, there would be quite a mess but it would be quick.

no no, the mess is on the other side. it happens fast enough that not much mess gets on the head side. i assume.

This is what drives me mad. Not so long ago far left was doing some seriously crazy things (I am from Europe so I do remember). And these American mongoloids think far left is someone who just wants to exist.

I hate that I'm asking but what were the 'crazy things'?

1

Plane hijackings, bombings, kidnappings, assassinations, murders and generally doing shit that we haven't seen in quite a while (at least in Europe).

So yeah, calling anything in America or Europe "extreme left" these days is really an indication that person using those terms is a moron.

And in 2025, we have idiotic US "study" that considers mentally ill person that surrenders to police babbling nonsense as a "left wing terrorist attack".

Surreal.

Then the right's preferred policies are:

  • Unaffordable child care
  • Unlivable wages
  • Unmitigated grocery price increases
  • Rich don't pay their fair share
  • Unrestricted utility bill increases to fund private corporations ambitions

Right?

You forgot the big part that drives these people to consistently vote against their own interests: they've been told certain groups are the reason they experience difficulty and discomfort and, if elected, their politicians will punish these people.

"How did you become a socialist?"

"Well when I was growing up, the news kept putting up all of these infographics describing all of these wonderful things as socialism, so I knew that it must be good."

12

Far left these days just means "corporations already paid politicians to not do these things"

Notice how none of these things are identity politics? Not even one proposal to make all public sector workers wear cat ears and skirts?

Faux news tells people the centre left will bring about “socialism”. People vote for the centre left, the chudservative faux news:

Just one question: Is "gubernatorial" a real word or a pun? Sound like something made up.

it's certainly a word I have to stop and sound out every time as an 'at a glance' reading of it becomes Goober national in my head.
