If you are a Libertarian and hold liberty as your core value, why do you not believe in universal healthcare? Nothing impacts liberty more than sickness and death. (lemmy.world)

What left, liberal?

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Exactly my point.

Call me when you actually win an election.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world -3 points 6 months ago

No, really, liberal - where the fuck do you see anything that can be called left with a straight face contesting anything in the formal political establishment?

Or is it just that you got your cartoonish and Reagen-esque idea of what left and right even means from hysterical liberals and fascists on CNN and Fox news?

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

If you can't win an argument without using foul language, you probably don't have many good ideas.

Bye bye.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world -3 points 6 months ago

Feel free to run away any time you feel like it, liberal.

Dawg, you just fabricated your idea of what the other dude thinks in that second paragraph. Touch grass, call someone, go outside.

Dawg

We are not close enough for endearments.

you just fabricated your idea of what the other dude thinks in that second paragraph.

No, I didn't. If you think there's anything "leftist" about the formal political establishment it indicates a very specific form of brain-rot that is childishly easy to trace to the mass misrepresentation of political concepts one can easily find simply by turning on a television. Both liberals and their fascist fellow-travellers suffer from this brain-rot... and it's symptoms are perfectly predictable.

Not all that difficult to understand, no?

Would you deny that Canada's NDP, the CPUSA, or US Greens are leftist?

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yes.

[-] DMBFFF@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

You're saying that the wp:Communist Party USA is not leftist?

What are you?

a Maoist?

a Hoxhaist?

a Gonzaloist?
