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

MODERATORS
Unless he said "I am renouncing my affiliation with the Democrat party and am running for the office of President of the United States again" then whatever he says is incorrect.
He might as well just hand the election to Trump at that point. I mean, I get it, wrong lizard and what not, but in the real world that's really the only option in the immediate term.
What an insane message to take away from my comment.
Maybe I was misunderstanding your comment.
Were you not shilling for Biden?
As opposed to shilling for Trump? Or are you too young to understand the concept of difficult choices and their consequences.
I assure you I'm not young, and assure you shilling for anyone is the death of a government.
In even a restrictive democratic Republic, a person worth voting for is worth voting for.
And in America, a Democrat not worth voting for loses.
That means a Democrat worth voting for must be produced, or America had outgrown a binary system.
What is the point of voting for someone who has no reasonable chance of winning vs. just staying home?
You know what's worse than shilling for an individual person? Shilling for chaos. Go away.
The comment literally calls him a lizard. Stop looking for a fight.
This exchange illustrates the issue at the heart of American politics.
