Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Reeeeeee!
Could they possibly sabotage their own progressives any harder? Eh, I'm sure they'll come up with something.
Hogg isn't a Progressive, he's just a dick riding opportunist.
And yet has more backbone than the entire dnc establishment
Dialectical truths 🥰
How can one not be motivated to challenge the status quo and current administration? It's not working.
I don't really know this guy or his politics too well, but I think it's unfair to label him as an "opportunist".
Criticizing the Democratic Party for being complicit is seeming less like an accusation and more like fact.
He wants to replace the current group of old, complicit, corrupt neoliberals with young, maybe(?) less complicit and corrupt ~~neoliberals. He does not want to replace them with progressives.~~
Edit: based on my browser history, I believe I formed the impression reading something in a Lemmy thread about a month ago probably related to this article, but I can't find it again so I'm just gonna say I must be wrong.
I guess every media outlet that I've looked at is reporting this wrong for saying he was backing young progressives. Even his website claims that. But I know Democrats love to tease at being progressives to appeal to voters, and then shift back to the right.
Hmm, ~~maybe~~ I've fallen for misinformation.
Edit: I can't find the thing that initially gave me the impression that David Hogg wasn't progressive, so I'm removing the "maybe."
Source?
I can't find it, so I'm retracting the claim.
