Liberals have always and will always be the natural enemy of the Left and the working class. That's been true for almost 400 years and it isn't changing now.

If you don’t know the difference between leftist and liberal you should probably crack open wikipedia before you try to crack a witty retort.

"Leftists" as you like to call them don't exist in the US. Leftists in the US are Democrats aka neolibs. Literally the left wing of Congress. The leftists you're thinking of are a rounding error, they effectively don't exist.

But in any case what few leftists there are in the US are working with the neolibs against the regressive neocon fascist bastards trying to take over our country. Fascists are the natural enemy of the working class, and anyone with a brain. Picking libs over fascists is such an obvious take anyone arguing differently is a moron or a boot licker.

Leftists definitely exist in the states. We just don’t have a political party whose candidates we can reasonably vote for.

There's no left politicians in the US. Not even AOC or Bernie.

Corpos are all Center Right. Not a single Liberal among them.

Typical gaslighting liberal nonsense. Keep trying to tell us that corporations don't come first to the Democrats. It's blatant bullshit and every ordinary person knows it.

Ah, so you don't understand that the additional words are there because they are entirely different terms. Cool, cool.

Hint: when you are called an Ass as opposed to when you are called a Dumb Ass, it is referring to different behaviors of yours.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
