The radicalization of the left

The left isn't anymore radical then it was 20 years ago....
The right on the other hand is full blown anti-government archaist crap.


Me I want personal freedom that the left offers me and a voice in the work place!

The right is a poison.

I don't remember Slick Willy Clinton signing illegal, unconstitutional Executive Orders forcing little girls and women to shower with mentally disturbed, sexually deviant men.

I don't remember Slick Willy Clinton (or any of his supporters) insisting that biology doesn't exist, X and Y chromosomes are "fake", and that a person's mental state dictates their gender.

Nobody running as a Socialist (as Bernie Sanders did) during the 1990's would have received more than 2% of the vote during the primary. Today, he beat Hitlery head-to-head.

Your party has become so bat-shit fuck'n crazy over the 8 years of the Obama Administration and you know it. I find it interesting how uncomfortable you are with that reality but yet you continue to support them out of your greed and laziness.

If you wanted "personal freedom" you wouldn't be a fascist. You don't want freedom - you want control because you hate your own miserable life.

The ideological discipline most dedicated to personal freedom is Libertarianism. I discipline not widely embraced by those on the left.
 
The reason so many RWnuts see the Left as 'radicalized' at this point is because to the core of the Right,

anyone to the left of someone like John McCain looks like a rabid liberal to these people.
McCain is a rabid liberal too.
 
Libertarians are a buncha lefties.

Bring up Ayn Rand (an extreme Libertarian) to any group of leftists and see what sort of reaction you get...

Except Obama did no such thing. He signed an order requiring schools to allow CHILDREN who identify as transgender to use facilities.

And nobody running as a Nazi like Trump did would have won the Republican nomination in the 1990's. David Duke got 2% of the vote in the GOP primary in 1992. But this year, you nominated the Nazi.

Here's the thing, if SOcialism has an appeal now, it's because after 2008, we all realized that for most folks, Capitalism is a shit sandwich.

We nominated a sensible mainstream politician. You elected a Nazi. I think your side has a better claim to batshit crazy than ours.

Ronald Reagan - who gave amnesty to 3 million undocumented immigrants - would never be welcomed in a party that cheers when women are dragged out of their hospital beds and deported.

No matter how many times you tell that lie, it will never stand up. Women are free to do whatever they want with their body. But the fetus is not their body. The fetus is a completely separate body with its own DNA. As always...you lose, snowflake.

Poodle, if you ever had sex with a real live woman, you'd realize they don't really agree with your interpretation that they are breeding machines beholden to a kidney bean-sized fetus.
 
Nice try snowflake. Every candidate who runs, runs on Ronald Reagan. The right still stands for the same principles and platform that Reagan did - 40 years later.

Not really.

Reagan gave amnesty to illegals. That would never be tolerated today.

Ronald Reagan raised taxes in 1986 after he realized supply side didn't work. that would never be tolerated today.

Reagan swapped weapons for hostages. That would never be tolerated today.

Now,I understand that you guys plead fealty to a mythical Ronald Reagan, but those of us old enough to live through his presidency realize that he wasn't what you all claim he was today.

But since he was the only Republican President since Ike to not be voted out of office, leave the country in an economic mess or forced to resign in disgrace, he's probably the only thing you have to brag about.

As long as you don't have to talk about what he actually did.

There are people in the party who know it, there are traditional liberals who know it. What is not known yet is what to do about it.

You'll see an opinion piece here and there, I've posted a few. But the party is still a ways from a serious self-examination.

There is no radicalization of the left.

Did you know that Hillary Clinton won the Moderate vote by 12 points? Obama also won the Moderate vote twice by double digits.

How is it that the Democratic Party easily dominates Republicans among Moderates if the party has moved too far to the left?

Guy, Democrats are not going to win by embracing homophobia or racism, or by pretending it's okay.

We've heard this song for a long time... but the fact is, the GOP has mastered getting white people to vote against their own interests when times are good and they aren't looking at foreclosure.

Democrats win when Republicans fuck things up and put us into recessions. Then just enough white people vote for Democrats so they can fix things.

(Although, to be fair, the last time Democrats won the white vote was in 1964).

So the idea that you are going to win over white people by enabling their racism and misogyny is just kind of stupid. You just sell out your principles.

Good points, all.

Here's the thing. Not only did Trump lose by 3 million votes, he got less of a percentage of the total vote than Romney did.

Hillary lost because too many people voted for third parties.

The idea that the Democrats need to appeal to the homophobia, racism, nativism and misogyny that the GOP has cornered the market on is just plain silly.
