Is there some workable definition of left and right? The terms have lost all meaning to me.
It like they’re blanket terms for “everyone I agree with and everyone I disagree with”, and the ambiguity makes it really divisive.
“You are X and I hate all people who are X”. It seems bizarre that as the world has become more nuanced we’ve grown comfortable using such reductive terms.
(Not a criticism of your comment btw. I upvoted you. Just pondering this)
I don’t think all liberals are enemies, but I do acknowledge the reality that certain Democratic liberals in power are attacking progressives and lending crediance to right-wing attacks.
The tightness of Abdul’s primary kinda has me worried. Apparently, there was an amount of Republicans who signed into the open Democratic primary to try to tank his chances. I don’t think we have the numbers for how many yet, but it will be concerning if it is only a small portion.
A bunch of interviews have shown that a lot of the people who voted for Trump just wanted a change candidate, who ended up doing the opposite of delivering. Hopefully those people will come out swinging for change candidates of the opposite flavor.
Current evidence says otherwise in regards to who the ‘weaker’ candidate is, but that doesn’t mean the fearmongering won’t activate enough R voters in the general to out vote the progressive’s momentum.
Echelon Insights suggested that Republican-leaning voters may have helped Stevens in the Detroit metro area.
Evidence implies there is proof and ‘Echelon Insights suggested that Republican-leaning voters may have helped Stevens in the Detroit metro area’ is definitely not proof.
Narrator: they did in fact take it.
On the electoral side, people are starting to not take it… Anymore.
Just gotta hope it is enough to outweigh the fear mongering of the right and liberals.

Imagine treating liberals like enemies and not as the friends in power that they are.
which liberals?
plenty of liberals are 100% on board with the conservative agenda, as long as the stock market goes up.
Plenty of leftists are good with the conservative agenda as long as Russia gets to keep genociding Ukraine.
Anyone who supports genocide is not a leftist, like, by definition.
Economy policy has nothing to do with supporting genocide or not.

Haaaaaaaaave you read some stuff written by leftists?
Crazy, go ask a .mler about Stalin or Mao - then look into just how much of their rhetoric the DSA co-opts.
Spoilers: it’s not lookin good
There’s whole instances here that would disagree with that statement.
What definition do you use?
Not everywhere is a two party state and the difference between Liberal and left is a lot more obvious when you’re outside of the American media sphere
The american media sphere is the greatest sphere in the galaxy.
Even knowing this is a bit makes me recoil lol
It’s not a ‘bit’ to love your country.

We’ll see if the same tactics used to win NYC work in rural counties.
Here’s to hoping!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the republicans voted for him knowing he’d be the easier target to defeat.
Much the same as Trump wanting to run against Sanders every election.
