Never say "the left" when you mean "the Democrats"

No party can fairly be called "leftist" unless its political success would pose a real threat to the power of the rich and the corporations.

The Democrats do not meet that test. They give lip-service to labor, but on balance, they are almost as wholly owned by Wall Street as the Republicans.
Beginning with the War in Vietnam the Democratic Party has come to be dominated by well educated, well paid bi coastal professionals. They lack the public enthusiasm for tax cuts for the rich that rich Republicans have. They do not complain, because they benefit from tax cuts for the rich.
 
You know I'm a mental giant compared to you. Simply because I am mentally superior, and you are mentally inferior, to the average American.

You can tell yourself that all you like.

The threads around here including this one say otherwise.

The Dems are not leftists because leftism is all about flattening the socioeconomic pyramid. Nothing else. Cultural liberalism does not a leftist make. You might be all for racial and gender equality, all for gay and trans rights, all for DEI, hostile to teaching creationism in the schools, hostile to private ownership of firearms, etc.; but you're still not a leftist if your economic politics are laissez-faire.

Most "limousine liberals" are therefore not really leftists.

That's the lie leftoids tell themselves, but in reality they just want the money and power.

That's why they always wind up with a Stalin/Mao/Kim/Pot situation.

There are many counterexamples of leftists in power -- Salvador Allende, for instance, or Clement Attlee, or Francois Mitterand -- good small-d democrats all.
 
You make it sound like getting chlamydia.

That tracks. 🙂

Correct. There is as much chance of me getting chlamydia as there is the left getting Trump.

I'm impressed.

You were finally right for once.

They got close but democracy put them in check, just like it did in 2024 USA.

Ass socialist, all leftoids....just like Democrats.
 
Allende was not voted out of office.
All shit socialist who never held any real power or did much of shit.

Just like the Democrats.

Without the Stalin/Mao/Kim to kill everyone for your fee fees??? .....you guys are just losers.
 
It should be noted that leftists are rare in the U.S. See the Pew Political Typology -- the Progressive Left are 6% of the population. None of the other Dem-leaning groups are left-wing.
