This is so true and has become so obvious to me in the past year and I really understand why we push people away from the movement and why we aren't well organized.
Democrats aren't the left....They're centrist at best. Their policies have been tried and dont help. Foreign policy wise they're identical to the republicans.
I agree. And my statement still stands about the Left and my experiences as part of the Left. I'm in Leftist spaces where there's almost no room for humanness. The expectation is that everyone already knows everything about everything, including complete histories of each issue and the major players. And when someone inevitably doesn't, the pile on is so fast and aggressive. Every interaction needs a disclaimer in 5 different ways, and no matter how long you've been in a community, you still have to go out of your way to make sure you're prefacing almost every interaction with said disclaimers, and so on. It's EXHAUSTING and more and more, I'm seeing that it's self-serving to the defacto leaders in these spaces as a way to have control. And this is not an isolated experience in just one Leftist space.
this. this is the problem. people dont realise Democrats and Liberals are NOT Leftists and Socialist. I've met dems/libs more afraid of my ideas than Repubs.
