    This is, unironically, the best meme about leftists ever made.

    In my experience, leftists are like Star Wars fans, in that no one hates leftists like other leftists.

      The right, when issues arise, circle the wagons. The left, when issues arise, form a circular firing squad.

      The let’s fractured nature is both its greatest strength, allowing for innovation and new thinking, and its greatest weakness. We often fail to come together for good, when we all want perfect. We often end up with neither.

        Eh, keep in mind that the right have been gridlocking each other in US Congress with the weird alt-right RINO stuff. There’s infighting on both sides; the US essentially has multiple parties within each major party.

        Youre not lumping liberals in with leftists are you? Because liberals arent leftists. Liberals are status quo aka conservative.

            I’m honestly not sure of the difference between any of those, and I’m certainly 1 of them if not all 3.

              It’s simple. Do you want to abolish private property and eliminate capitalism? Then you’re a socialist/ leftist. If you don’t, you’re a at best a market socialist. Or a social-democrat/liberal.

                Seems like the above comment was attempting to provide a genuine answer. Judging by vote count, people disagree with that answer.

                Would be cool if they would say why they disagree or provide their own answer to the question in addition to down voting.

      I always wonder why the workers of the world don’t rise up together. We could easily take over without any violence.

      Then I remember we all hate each other and refuse to work together and it makes me sad.

      You’re dead right, this comment section is one of the most tragic things I’ve seen in a while actually.

      She’s a talented performer, presumably a very hard worker, and they’re seething because she… Has money? From proving entertainment, which is a completely optional thing to buy, and by no means an essential service.
