48% of the popular vote went to Kamala.

To all the infallible unblemished champions of the proletarian revolution who are shitting on "libs":

According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics and Western Political Theory in the Face of the Future, this is the definition of liberalism:

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.

In your own words, what do you think "lib" means? And if you're going with my cited textbook definition, what's so offensive to you about the tenets that are listed?

Either words' definitions matter or they don't, and if they don't, then none of what you say matters.

Libs embraced the Cheneys and told Bernie and Tlaib et al to go fuck themselves.

I’m over pointing fingers and playing holy than thou.

The people who plan to build a Hungarian-style autocratic government are in power now, and they’re hoping the left is exhausted and tired of fighting this shit for a decade.

This shit is going to be dangerous, and we’re going to have to motivate people to push back hard than even. Pointing fingers just divides us and makes us even weaker.

Leftist here. I voted for Kamala. All the leftist media I consumed argued for voting for Kamala. All the leftists I knew vote for Kamala.

What are you talking about?

All the people who didn't vote against fascism.

Then we're not talking to you. But a lot of people stayed home and that's a fact

Leftists are so insignificant that we don't need to make any concessions to them but so powerful that they are responsible for any Democratic loss.

The left didn't vote against fascism, but also the center didn't. And the right, obviously.

The DNC would rather lose with a neoliberal than win with a progressive. If they want to get there shit together they have to win with the working class and ordinary people.

They can't be elitist centrists. They'll lose every election if they do. The future is now old man

I did my job. The democrats had one job too, and they failed.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago

It's funny cause back when Biden was VP I kept bringing up how he was a terrible Democrat and we should stop making cute uncle Joe memes, cause he's actually a horrible person who has hurt a lot of people with his blind drug war. And when I would bring that up, the other leftists would downvote me and call me a right winger, because we're not allowed to criticize our own n side apparently.

So it's funny that the same people who used to downvote any criticism of "uncle Joe" are the ones that are now calling anyone a Nazi if they support the Democrats.
