Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
"The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro's friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political "football game" that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives." — Malcolm X
Rules:
- No liberals. Shitty centrist drivel will earn you a ban.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

My favorite Mamdani quote:
"For far too long our party has seen its job as managing decline instead of delivering material change for working people. That old way of thinking will lose."
The Dems would rather have Collins win, and lose their chance to take over the Senate, than allow Platner to fight for US.
I have never written to a candidate, but I sent a message to Platner telling him to stay in the race.
Wtf is wrong with you. These allegations are pretty damning, absolutely no plausible deniability. This is straight up sexual assault
If he drops out now the dems can at least field another candidate that isn't a rapist. I would hope you'd want to not vote for a rapist
I'm done caring about any of this stuff. I want to see MAGA crushed decisively, and purged from our government and society. We need as many warriors as we can get, and Platner is committed to that goal. Who else are we going to count on, the MAGA comedy duo of Schmuck & Jeffries? It's 50% their fault that MAGA got back in power. All they care about is Israel and Insider Trading.
I'm looking for a elected representatives that will fight for me. I don't have to be friends with them or like them. I just want them to fight for us.
Oh look everyone, the American nazbols have arrived.
If our country needs to elect rapist, war criminal murderers to take down the "bad guys" then the whole system is irredeemable. There are a million other ways we can construct all of this, why are we so endlessly limited by this obviously horrific fucking system?
You sure reason in the same way as MAGA people.
When they go low, you stop giving a fuck
