Fun fact. You don't get the bottom track without demanding it. You end up on the middle track if you negotiate on human rights.

Yup. You also get the middle track when you show up to the 2020 primaries and think to yourself "I'm gonna vote for a geriatric procorporate establishment white man. This is the best decision for me and everyone else will have to accept it because the alternative is Trump."

Amusing to see commenters who think Biden primary voters are reading forums on Lemmy and are still venting their grudges 4 years later... 🤣

Where do you suppose all the people who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries congregate?

[–] FatCat@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Definitely not on one of the most marginal, leftleaning comment boards that is lemmy

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world -3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Liberal yes, left leaning? Doubtful.

Lemmy was literally developed by communists and it feels like every other person here is a socialist.

I think I've only ever seen a few people on here call themselves liberals, and that was in the confused American version of the term, I've seen liberal used as an insult infinitely more.

Supporting Biden or Ukraine or Israel also does not immediately equal Liberalism, and I have no clue why yall have been treating it like it does.

Yes, liberals will not call themselves liberals. Much like NIMBYS would never call themselves NIMBYS. Especially ones trying to convince leftists to vote for a procorporate genocide supporting trash of a candidate.
