Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

Anyone who says winning should be a breeze is an absolute idiot. You're dealing with a cult and an electoral college that skews the race toward the Republicans. She'll win the popular vote, but that's all that's certain.
Honestly, it should be easy if you embrace economic populist policies, but instead Harris is running to the neocons and trying to triangulate to present herself as a principled Republican.
It literally doesn't matter. She's still going to lose all the red states. She's not swaying any Trump voters with that message, they've already decided, for the most part, to vote against their own interest.
False. Bernie was steamrolling and then the neocons threw it with Hillary.
Can you not tell the difference between a primary and general election?
Average liberal talking to people like they don't know about politics while not knowing about poltics.
Go research what the DNC did in 2016 then come back.
Here's what I said:
I'm obviously talking about the general election currently happening with Trump. 2016 Democratic primary is irrelevant. I'm sorry you're so confused.
Red states don't matter. Swing states do. Bernie was poised for a big win until the DNC staged a coup.
