???Can you elaborate

(Anonymous) 2022-09-03 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
short version, they can't accept that other people have what might be valid criticisms of the state of play because they've already decided that it's somethingism

so remain have never worked out why they lost the brexit vote because they think they already know the answer to be racism against immig'ants (there were a lot more reasons than that) and trump got in under similar circumstances - the dems spent four years attacking him and his supporters as racist loons, admittedly partly because a lot of them were racist loons but also because it meant they didn't have to look in the mirror

this secret is the view of someone who assumes that the only reason people have for criticising the marvels is sexism, when it's entirely feasible that there are other actual issues with the properties outside of that, and it's that glib dismissal that loses elections

(i have seen neither)

Wat?

Oh, you think the Democrats are the left. That explains a lot.

Spends a lot of time insisting that the average Democrat politician is a raging violent baby killing feminazi family destroying America hating communist who is going to get us all killed in our beds...and will then turn around and mock those same politicians for not "doing anything" as soon as anything goes slightly wrong. I think one reason for this is that they have an authoritarian "might makes right" worldview, in which they assume that the person who has won the power will demonstrate that by taking immediate, aggressive, extreme control over everything without consent, always choosing the simplest, most destructive solution to any problem and that not doing so is weak. So they're afraid of what happens when the other side wins anything. And confused at the other side showing "weakness" by having manners, showing respect and following the law, and you know...stuff like that.

Republicans have been doing this for a very very long time. Portraying Democrats as scary family hating commies to frighten their voter base, and then when Democrats are revealed as what they have always, in reality, actually been instead, portraying them as weak and ineffectual. My mom's a Republican, my dad's an "independent" who hasn't voted for a Democrat since Carter, and they both fall for this all.the.time. Meanwhile, since the GOP has become steadily more extreme over the years, the Democrats have never felt like it was safe to risk being actually leftist and are more like the centrist party most of the time. But we only have two parties because every single major election is so vital to the future of the nation that neither party can risk allowing someone who might upset the balance of votes because each of the two major parties believes that if they don't win, people are literally going to die ARGGGHGHH.

Depressingly accurate.

You're being pedantic and you know it. It's entirely within reason to call the party that's as far left as you can get into government in its governed country "the left."

You sound British, and white.

(Anonymous) 2022-09-03 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
More gammon coloured, I think, than white.

Republicans have won the national popular vote once in the last 32 years.

If you want to bitch about your political grievances with people, then just do it. Don't do this butter-won't-melt-in-my-mouth stuff about how you're so sad that the left doesn't agree with your strategic wisdom.
