They’ve convinced you that Democrat(R) and Republican(R) are on opposite sides of the political spectrum when they’re actually on the same side. They’re both right-wing parties. There is no left side to speak of in the US. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [+] radiofreebc@lemmy.world -10 points 5 months ago (2 children) That's not true. There are very "liberal" wealthy people who are just as much a part of the problem as the "conservative" wealthy people. It's the wealth that's the problem. There is more than enough to go around. Wealthy people, of all sides of the spectrum, are terrible at sharing.

Yeah, because liberalism and conservatism are both right wing ideologies. The line between left and right is: who should own the means of production? Both liberals and conservatives want private ownership, while socialists want public ownership. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 months ago These are not opposed sides, and not a "spectrum," but two camps of capitalists. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 months ago Do you mean the "political spectrum" as in democrats and republicans? There's a ton outside that narrow spectrum. permalink fedilink source parent [–] frisbird@lemmy.ml 17 points 5 months ago Platner has presented zero class analysis. 90% of his anti-war position is "we should spend that money at home". And best he's a sheep dog social Democrat like Bernie and AOC. At worst he'll just slide right over his career because he won't actually address his past. permalink fedilink source parent
