We have two parties

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 21 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

The United States doesn't have a left wing. Only a right wing that's slightly less extreme right wing than the extreme right wing.

Your two party system has fucked you over for a whole century.

There are a lot of us with zero political power, and then there’s liberals and Neo liberal parties. I imagine it’s pretty similar in EU or anywhere in the west really. Imperial core & all that

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world -4 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Not really. The EU has many representative democracies. Not every country here is cut from the same cloth, with better or worse representation for multitudes of political idealogies. But there is still significantly better representation than the US.

Lmao look at this eurolib, socdems are basically just libs and your "labor parties" are reactionary (there are a few trot parties as well with no power)

...a conservative party and a reactionary party...

My girlfriend is amazing that way. She's as far-left as I am and I'm absolutely enamoured by her.

I wish I could have a GF like that :3

[–] some_guy 3 points 7 hours ago

My partner has started using terminology that I use. I think she genuinely still saw the USA as possibly a good country and now she drops words like "corrupt," and "fraud," in places that weren't previously said when talking about our society.

My hope is that I'm merely providing scaffolding to articulate a thing that is felt but not discussed. I'm pretty sure a lot of USA citizens really need that.

this image made me physically ill. well done.

In the US every politician at the left of the right wings is for the US a communist, perspective thing.

That picture of Hillary Clinton truly unsettles me

[–] melfie@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

Thinking about the decapitated heads in her freezer makes her smile.

Crazy eyes rarely lie.

Angela Davis is still alive, Professor of Feminist Studies and History of Consciousness at the University of California, Santa Cruz, sucking up to liberal think tanks, laying low, writing about feminism and avoiding taking part in any leftist movement that would get her killed.

Also a vegan 🌱

I wish that ghoul Clinton would lay low.
Just seeing her makes me want to throw up.
And I don't care for hearing from the cool Drone King either.

I mean that's where my MiL started (on the right) and after many years of work she's now firmly to the left of Bernie and AOC, but not quite at the "armed minorities are harder to oppress" stage. Maybe by the end of summer ...

[–] hamid@crazypeople.online 18 points 1 day ago

I can't be waiting for the whites to grace us with understanding, this is why I hope for the left and will not tolerate the right.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

[–] obelix@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Emma Goldman.

"If I can't dance, I don't want to be in your revolution"

Yeah, I like her

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

Red Emma, maybe.

[–] davici@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Who is the top right woman on the left side? I don't recognize her
