How the hell did lose slotkin???

I’m sorry they did it again!?!?

Israel has been doing it since it’s inception though, it’s just people are finally willing to admit it now the evidence so overwhelming

One look at the comments will show, yes lots are happy to deny reality

That gets in the way of the narrative though

That’s because they only fight those to the left

Idk, llm would have better editing skills

No this is just the people saying it not leadership saying/part of the dems platform

It’s nothing but a hate/witch hunt comm anyway. Nothing to be missed

It gets better, they also claim bush was a progressive… But yeah it’s just those they hate are the ones that deny reality.

Conservatives can be progressive too though - e.g. George Bush, the Republican President of the USA prior to Obama.

And speaking of the USA, the party on the “left”, the Democrats, are most definitely liberals, while the party on the “right”, the Republicans, are conservatives. One thing that that means is that for most of modern history, there has been no true “left” party, hence most people inside the USA - and by extension, most people on Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, etc. since they got their start and maintain their strongest base in the USA, prior to opening up to an international audience. So to your average Redditor, “left” =~ Democrat = liberal.

And ironically, as horribly incomplete as that statement is, it is still more accurate than what tankies, especially Hexbears, believe. e.g. that Russia, China, and North Korea are somehow “communist”, rather than totalitarian dictators under the guise of democracy and capitalism.

And that is why I am saying: they’re not left at all. They only claim to be, which does not make it true.

It says a lot how these always stay up but not the ones people post with actual complaints or issues.

But say ml bad and boom

This entire post is users either pointing it out and op getting upset about it or those like op praises op for defending the indefensible

Yet so many still defend him for doing it

By running with Harris or newsom?

That or it will only invite troll replies and no serious responses.

Seems like that’s entirely what they wanted

I deleted it entirely because they preferred having the assholes over the ones calling out the assholes.

Hell someone was running their entire campaign for public office on nextdoor (explicitly against their tos) and they didn’t do anything until after the election

Nextdoor is the perfect encapsulation of why having real names tided to people doesn’t do anything to improve how terrible or racist the comments are.

Hell they are even more than happy to keep the worst of the worst on the platform no matter how many times a person makes tos breaking comments.

FYI open stars is a massive troll so take anything they say in that context. Especially if stethoscope theory didn’t tip you off
