    Reddit is the most leftist platform I’ve used since Twitter (not X) lol

    I think the only conservative spaces were the ones constantly getting banned or shunned… and DankMemes 😂

      Most redditors will say that democrats are better than republicans, but that does not make someone a leftist. Democrats in America are center right at best and ripe with a ton of corruption of their own. Noticing that both parties are evil and we need economic reform beyond what either of them offer is the entrypoint to crossing the centerline

        This. Americans have been so brainwashed by the corporatists that they don’t even realize up from down. JFC, protect your working class already.

        That’s kind of true from a moral viewpoint. But those are of no good because they don’t change anything.

        The Democratic Party is a spectrum from social democratic to pretty conservative politicians, no fascists.

        I think Bernie Sanders is quite on the left even by European standards. But he’s not a communist.

        If you want more left politics vote progressive Democrats in every election, especially those local and regional ones. That’s the way to get a left party in the USA. And that will make a more left democratic candidate for president possible and eventually some left governers and a left President.
