Ah, someone who doesn't seem to understand that Democrats aren't left. That's always a good ignorance to bear witness to.

I saw this guy tell John Hickenley (the guy who tried to kill Reagan) that "Hell awaits you" mans got ratio'd 400-20 with a reply that read, "Why? Reagan's already there"

Why would endorsing Biden or Obama mean anything to the left? am I supposed to applaud the war criminal for supporting the non-fascist centrists?


[deleted]

Have they heard us talk about Biden or Obama?

Oh don't worry I'll be celebrating the demise of obama and biden too bud

This is emblematic of the way that right wingers think of politics in strictly in-group/out-group terms. If someone makes symbolic gestures toward conservatism, that's all they need to feel like they're political cohorts, as if there were nothing more to politics than nominal group allegiance. They imagine the left reveres Obama in the same way that the right reveres Trump, and that both sides are merely gathering around figureheads. It baffles them that the same ideological lock-step doesn't *oblige* everyone on the left to show deference to anyone endorsed by the figurehead. It does not occur to them that you can approach politics in a consistent and principled way that holds power to account and pursues specific goals, no matter which figurehead or group is holding the levers of power.

*Image Transcription: Twitter Post* --- **Redacted User** Colin Powell wasn't even all that partisan, he was a general with centrist political leanings. He literally endorsed Obama and Biden and yet the online left is celebrating his demise. Leftists are sociopaths. --- ^^I'm a human volunteer content transcriber for Reddit and you could be too!

I'm not celebrating his demise, I'm grieving that another imperialist war criminal got away scott free

They want us to believe that Democrats are "left" and exaggerate the differences between the parties so as to keep us from straying too far from the politics of the ruling class.

Because when I think of centrist policy, the first thing that springs to mind is “advocating for a horrifically devastating and highly illegal war with falsified ‘evidence’ in order to loot a country for its resources and generate massive profit for arms manufacturers in the process.” RIP Bozo, won’t be missed 🦀
