    Ok.

    I was talking about 2020.

    The one before the one you are talking about.

    Also, most ‘die hard leftists’ were disgusted by Kamala’s pro-Genocide stance… the Dems did basically everything they possibly could to obfuscate and deny and/or justify that, leftists were fucking furious about it.

    And a pretty good deal of actual leftists were saying ‘all these economic numbers that politicians and the media are touting are bullshit, they’re incomplete, they are not reflective of reality’.

    And well now we have all the job revisions and yep that was correct, I think the BLS has now ‘un addded’ something like 2-3 million jobs between 2022 and present.

    You’re conflating liberals and leftists, which betrays that you have no idea what a leftist is.

    Its liberals that fall in line with standard corporate Dem talking points.

    Leftists tend to challenge and critique them.

      corporate Dems have power, leftists don’t, and never will because they’d rather sit around bitching and whining and agonizing about what is ‘really leftist’.

        Well its not like you’d have any understanding of what is or isn’t really leftist.

        Here’s a hint:

        Opposing massive government handouts to huge megacorporations.

        Opposing biased legal standards and tax structures that massively favor the wealthy being able to accumulate more wealth, at the expense of the poor.

        Opposing idiotic broad general tariffs that have historically and are currently exacerbating an ongoing Great Depression.

        But, fascists love doing all those things, because they are economically illiterate and/or openly, brazenly corrupt.

        And now, for more vocab, if you oppose these fascist policies, you are now anti-fascist, otherwise known as antifa.

        But fascists cannot comprehend the idea that anyone could disagree with them, and also have the gall to continue being alive, so they label everyone who does as a terrorist, and have lately started executing such people in the street.

          Who does? You? Are you the only true leftists who determines who is truly a leftist?

          or is there a standardized test I have to pass? like a driver’s license test?

          What happens when the leftists become the fascists?

            Sure, yeah, there’s a test.

            Papers please!

            Mhm, I see, yes, voted for the child murdering rapist pedophile conman.

            Ah.

            Not a great look.

            Anyway, you’e been expelled from the ‘Leftism Understander’ class due to being an obvious idiot troll, please collect your things or they will be equitably redistributed amongst the remaining students, according to their need.

                People who vote on feelings and not reality shouldnt be allowed to vote, a democracy was a mistake. Why do people who can’t form complete thoughts get to vote. Why do easily manipulated ppl who never change their mind after getting new information and just double down for the rest of their life get to vote?

                  I can admit I would’ve voted for trump had I not been 17 in 2017, I can also conceptualize for me and many others who were turning 18 at the time it was because the only politician we liked was bernie and the dnc didnt fuck with him so we were like oh democrats suck. Then my opinion changed fairly fast after he was actually in office. DNC doesn’t get enough blame for pushing trump thinking hed be the easier candidate to beat.
