What will the radical left do after the Trump win

Not open for further replies.
From what I've seen on reddit:

- self indulgent and performative sulking
- women threatening to not have sex with any man for 4 years, and posts about how Americans hate women (the leftist men too)
- people asking how to report Trump voting immigrants to ICE
- people threatening to leave the country
- people milking it for upvotes

Nothing productive, other than a few rational posts about how it's not the end of the world.
 
the u.s. democratic party is neither far left nor radical.
But our great demigod leader Trump said they are all Marxist cat eating pedophile extremeists. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

I see no difference between the people that said "lock her up" than from the people that said to Pilot, who was about to release Jesus, "crucify him!!"

And that is not radical, just logical. Same people.
 
They're too busy reading about how to build perfect communism.
while there's truth to this, one should consider that actual leftists want a fundamental change in the socioeconomic framework of society. there cannot be a truly leftist society with capitalism as the economic status quo. so they are up against a lot, but it is not impossible. at some point in history, abolishment of monarchy was also a completely niche idea and most people probably thought it couldn't be done.

on the other hand the extreme right not only doesn't want to change the economic model, they are even actively supported by some of the richest and most powerful people on earth because they will defend inequality. and any capitalist, either rightwing or "moderate - liberal" will work against leftist politics because they put the legitimacy of their (sometimes obscene) wealth into question.

we need a couple leftists in congress, more in local and state... the overton window is FARRRRRR too right.
And a couple of them fucking supreme court Justice need to die in the next few months so it's not 6-3 red.
 
Never make a politician, so much confusion. Never have a politician grand you a favor.
They will wanna control you for ever. A line from mr. Bobby that holds the truth.

The reason i vote by making a big cross all over.
so my vote gets disqualified. Not voting means you d be added to the biggest party.
Or something like that. Not voting is voting, not voting is screwing up your vote :shrug:

Btw left overhere is almost as screwed as right and religion party s.
And they never win so what s the point.

It was a reference to Disco Elysium (worthwhile to play through if you haven't)

I'm with you - i spend time outside of the US for this reason. It gives me space to work in a place where collectivism is endemic to society, and it breathes life into my soul when I am able to be reminded that there is a world out there living and breathing that is disconnected from the American fever dream. I do harm reduction work in Portugal at a music and arts festival, and I look forward to going back next year (going to need it). Maybe some year we'll go and stay... who knows. For now, I focus on the work that's ahead of me, and the community around me, because that's what I can affect change on.

I have long identified as a progressive, not a liberal. While it may be semantics, I see progressivism as facing forward and working towards the future, adapting to tomorrow while learning from the past. My ideal political style is one that only exists in microbursts - small societies that form up for brief moments around things like music. Mini belle-epoques of the modern era where libertarian socialism can manifest itself and remind me of what can be great, and what it takes to make it happen.
 
One of the funniest results of 2020 is that instead of just letting Trump win with loser Mike Pence as his VP and without control of Congress, these two images now represent Democrats causing it to become possible for Trump/Republicans to win a supermajority in 2024 while having a much larger, more serious and more focused team

I’m surprised they haven’t tried to impeach yet. lol! 🤣 Can they actually wait until he’s sworn in?

it almost sounds as though you see how this is a bad thing? are you not a trumper? i'll admit, i have no fucking clue how you swing outside of the covid threads

@BWG707
