Daily reminder that the Democrats are a center/center-left party, not liberal.

[–] grazing7264@hexbear.net 81 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They are liberal. Liberals are right-wing.

You think liberals are left wing because one of your liberal parties is holding marginalized people hostage in a 2-party state.

this is such a basic take that azan says it almost daily to like 30k people

No, both parties in the US are liberal. They're both neoliberal specifically, by definition.

little bit further to the right, really - they're center-right until they're inconvenienced, at which point they start moving rightward

Are you sure you know what liberal means? Market economics, privatization, capitalism good, all that stuff?

Reminding yourself daily of a thing that is demonstrably false seems bad. The amount of negative descriptors that can be applied to doing that is a bottomless void without end.

If the Democrats are so centre-left why hasn't Pelosi gone on The Adam Friedland Show, huh? Ever thought about that?

Lmfao daily reminder? You remind people of this often and you have no clue what you’re talking about?

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Hey guys, go easy. It’s a left-leaning lib with their eyes not open yet…

They don't seem interested in a discussion

Daily reminder that the Democrats are a liberal party, not liberal.
