MODERATORS
I don't understand this recent claim that the left and Democrats aren't the same thing.
Progressives, secularists and liberals have always been lumped into "left" and those people overwhelmingly overlap with what the Democrats claim to be all about.
The term "left" and "Democrat" are basically interchangeable for the most part.
Kinda like how Conservative/Republican/right have been pretty much interchangeable for a long time now.
As far as I can tell the only difference is the right doesn't seem to care as much about labels and the left gets super upset when they aren't labeled exactly right at all times.
I'm a communist and not from the US, saying that the democrats are at the left is laughable
Ohhhhh you're a communist. No wonder you don't understand anything. Your brain is completely void of logical thought.
Well you have fun with that. I won't be responding to you after this message. While I am generally open to discussing most things I have learned that trying to have a real conversation with self described communists on the Internet is a complete waste of time.
Have a good day.
Lmao get rekt
Only if you're dumb and American. Democrats are right wing. Exclusively.
....do you even know where the term left and right wing started??? The Democratic party definitely has more overlap with the left than the right.
I'm curious what alternate reality definition you're using though. Please explain your thoughts process. Show your work.
I could go on all day.
The only meaningful difference is that Democrats hate gays slightly less and try to avoid using the n word in public.
I'd ask you for math, but I'm just going to spend an hour debunking Washington Post links claiming dems want things they never bothered to try implementing.
I'm just gonna leave this here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_spectrum#:~:text=The%20terms%20right%20and%20left,various%20legislative%20bodies%20of%20France.
To 99% of the population of you say "left" they will think Democrats and if you say "right" they will think Republicans. I'm not saying those definitions are strictly accurate, but that is how most people would lump those things.
I do not differentiate left/liberal/Democrats the same exact way I don't differentiate conservatives/Republicans/right. Those groups share enough overlap that unless you're specifically talking about a very slim slice of one of those sub groups you can generally use any of them to refer to the same groups interchangeably.
Special snowflake syndrome.
