The fact that this guy posts this on X with a paid-for blue checkmark tells you everything about why Trump won and why he'll keep winning. The left has made almost no effort to win the information space. They just lose and then celebrate when some of the harm falls back on MAGA.

How about his for a change: Win. Try to win. Stop kowtowing to right wing information propaganda spaces that stifle the left like X, Fox News, and Rogan. Fight them like the right fights the left in the information space. True, you won't get to celebrate when your neighbor suffers from Trump, but it'll be because he didn't vote Trump in the first place.

I saw the "Dems are the Uvalde cops Magas are the shooters." And goddamn it salpped ever since. You guys need to get a real 3rd party that is real grassroots socialist.

I've been watching people go on and on about a Socialist revolution since I read about Gene Debs in high school.

I haven't seen them actually do anything yet.

Easy to say, hard to do.

Need to finish that Elden Ring dlc first.

This is a liberal account, he's not a leftist. Leftists have been in the streets, while liberals remain in the tweets.

[–] MiniMoose4Free@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You expect a "both sides" maga to know that? Seeing all these "it's the dem's fault for not telling us how shit trump would treat us" folks is crazy. Everyone want to blame the dems for the lepords.

The democrats ran the same candidate against Trump and lost two out of the three times they tried. Do you happen to know the definition of insanity?

I don’t believe in intellectual property, so you can’t. It’s yours as much as mine.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

put that on a bumper sticker

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

everyone in the country should be liberal. but it seems most just ignore the term and definition behind it though and just assume only left/democrats want to have freedom

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s amazing how everyone doing everything right is a leftist and everyone they disagree with/who isn’t doing things right is a liberal. That’s why leftists are in position of power!

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Remind me again, are the democrats currently in power?

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most of the country is governed or represented by democrats yes.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Right, those are the same democrats actively helping Trump. Hey, good job on those performative sit downs in congress, you guys are really fighting the good fight! I’ve always said that nothing beats fascism like a not-too-strongly worded letter. At the rate things are going, it practically doesn’t matter that you ushered in a red wave and lost the House, Senate, Presidency, and Supreme Court, and probably destroyed democracy.

Now run along back to brunch before the wine is gone!

I’m not a registered democrat nor do I hold love for the party. How we feel about them is irrelevant. My previous comment is accurate.

You are also the first person to mention the Democrats. I said leftists aren’t in positions of power and liberals are.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

There must be dozens of them.

Thanks, I literally thought it up when I typed “in the streets”.
