More not leftists. Some tolerance for not left wing political views would be nice too. (the people I'm talking about will just down vote me because they are part of the intolerant left wing here. There are plenty of tolerant left wing people, but they don't get attention)
you hate the liberals. The progressives are pretty done with them too, to be fair. We only hitch our wagons to them because the alternative is ACTUAL fascists. I'm leftist, and I can assure you that all we want is government that actually functions as a public service and money out of politics. Becoming an elected official should be seen like jury duty, not a career move.
Just remember that the definition of literal has changed over the years. I'm close to the original definition, but nothing like today's.
Hate is too strong a term.
I must downvote you because downvoting people who complain about downvotes is my truest calling. I do this knowing that I myself will be downvoted, but deep in your heart you know that this is how it must be.
I upvoted you for downvoting the guy who complained about being downvoted.
Unlikely. The leftists actually put in the work to create and populate an entire alternative Reddit (multiple actually: Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, nodeBB, etc.). And the rightists too (multiple actually: Truth Social, X, nostr, etc.). If the centrists truly want something, then somebody is going to have to actually make something happen.
