Adam Schiff is fucking useless.

It was extremely obvious that he was going to be. He was Pelosi's pick.

These establishment props need to go, I'm over them and their constant failure to move the needle.

Also, always funny when I see liberals downvoting truthful articles about their beloved democrats being shitty, too.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Liberal doesn't mean left anymore. We seem to be conflating them these days. I hope that changes.

[-] anachronist@midwest.social 8 points 7 months ago

Liberal never really meant left. Traditionally "liberal" was more an old-timey word for libertarian.

Even more recently "liberal" was just kinda an upper-class socially conscious do gooder who would always be reactionary if they felt personally threatened in any way.

I really appreciate this.

[-] seahorse@midwest.social 5 points 7 months ago

Never really did though. Anyone who is actually excited by establishment democrats isn't really any kind of leftist.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Fair point. I think my conflation of the two came from media despite me always shaking my fists at the people who were supposed to be on my side.

Despite all that, I've always referred to myself as a leftist (and when joking around, I would add "pinko commie bastard").
