Is it “both sides are the same” Saturday already?! Boy how time flies when the right is in full control again, destroying everything again, after the left rebuilt it the best they could in their limited time in control again.. but it’s the same coin so you should just stay home and not vote, right op?!

    It depends on your side:

    if you vote for the right, then you are likely to win with both sides, so you don't really need to vote.

    if you are for the left, you absolutely need to vote for the left AND to do not let them in peace once elected, because without being pushed and forced to do a left politic, they are likely to do a right one.

    I think what OP is trying to say is it’s not left vs right, it’s poor vs rich. That the billionaires use issues of policy as a distraction from the inequality and wealth gap between us and them.

    What?

    More like we're too busy fighting each other to realize who is largely perpetuating these fights and who directly benefits from a distracted populace.

    I'm legitimately surprised I had to spell this out.

    Are you confusing liberals with left wingers?

    The left have been very loudly pushing back against the billionaire class for a very long time

    Yeah, the actual left’s whole deal is fighting billionaires.

    I really need everyone to stop conflating liberals with the left, and also learn some basic political theory before speaking on it.

    As they should, but you can't deny the infighting between other factions. The point remains: we have to take a step back, and focus on the real problems, rather than the bait they throw in front of us.

    I wouldn't be much of a left winger if I did deny that

    Turning the working class against each other is one of the main ways the elite protect their power

    People on the left have been writing about this for over a century

    This meme must be targeted at USians, where the Democrats, the left wing of liberal capitalism, are referred to as "the Left" as part of liberal capitalists' war against anarchism, Marxism, and other class-conscious perspectives. Because elsewhere in the world, the Left (where they exist) are generally the ones who are fighting the people distracting and dividing us (the capitalists). (Not trying to be contentious, just trying to understand where you're coming from.)

    Well, one side has "immigration" and the other side has "human rights" as their weapons so not exactly same same. Unless you think so?

    If The Left wins then the Billionaires lose a shitload of money and political power, so let's make it happen this november and every election to follow.

    What's fun is this is actually like a Broligarchy plan to get rid of political parties.

    First they, "The Grays" help The Reds get rid of The Blues. Then they get rid of the Reds. Yarvin and Theil are all about it.

    Any party not promising to implement direct real time democracy is just a schill in the end. Any party elected for x years can and will do whatever is in their best interest and not the peoples.

    Both sides bad! Billionaires fund both sides to the same degree. Minorities just need to roll over and give up rights

    Except liberals aren’t “the left”. Liberals are center or center-left at best. Liberals are funded by the same entities as the right is, yes, but this distinction is important, lol

    Which country's Liberal Party are you talking about? Because that's definitely not what the word liberal on its own means.

    Whats your opinion on NATO?

    I’m not talking about any country’s liberal party. I’m talking about neoliberals. In the U.S., they are often misidentified as being “the left”.

    And regarding NATO, I am against it as a specific entity, but I think that some of its functions are important and should not be lost if it is ever dismantled.

    You openly promote WWIII and oppose advocates for human rights, I don't see any need to discuss anything further with a Tankie like yourself. Xi Jinping can suck a dick.

    lol, no I don’t. Make fewer assumptions, ask more questions.

    And I agree, Xi can fuck all the way off.

    Considering I think Putin and his ilk can & should get absolutely bodied & the fact that you thought I was a fan of Xi, yeah, I’d say you’re making assumptions when you should be asking clarifying questions.

    Usually how it goes with Tankies. They start of with "oh these capitalist billionaires suck balls, amirite?" and then the next thing you know they're trying to convince you to enlist to fight for Russia.

    NATO is always a great phrase to sort the wheat from the chaff. Any Anarchist or Democratic Socialist with two brain cells to rub together sees that a mutual defense pact just makes sense and has prevented war and will prevent further war. But Tankies? They fucking hate that shit with a burning passion, because it prevents expansion by Russia and China.

    To put it this way: TikTok, an short form video feed operated out of Beijing now and for its entire history, endorsed and thanked Donald Trump by name. They thanked him for saving the platform, which had voluntarily shut down before the election, before he was even inaugurated.

    And to illustrate the impact that action had: Donald Trump was the first Conservative to win the youth vote in decades, since 1988.

    Plus the former Russian intelligience operatives call him Agent Krasnov.

    What do you mean which country? Liberal = money made politics

    Liberalism is the advocacy for human rights and freedoms so long as they don't impede upon the rights and freedoms of others. In practice it requires a democratic state to enforce equal treatment and freedoms. Examples such as making slavery and segregation illegal, taxing inheritance and estates, mandating equal housing and employment opportunity, or covering the expenses of impoverished citizen's medical and education.

    It's had the similar definition of "promotes freedom" for thousands of years and in early 20th century France the words liberalism and neoliberalism were commonly used to describe a system of fair and regulated markets distinctly distant from laissez-faire and socialism.

    The most common opponents to Liberalism and Liberals are Tankies, who support eastern bloc dictatorships, and Conservatives, who support western bloc dictatorships. Because of this I automatically assume people who use liberal or neoliberal as a slur are opponents of human rights.
