    Thank you, this was the most quintessential liberal answer I’ve ever seen. You display a complete ignorance on how the Democrats drifted from their New Deal roots in the 80s and the Third-Way’s pivot to neoliberalism in the 90s, then attempt to frame my knowledge as foreign propaganda. You obviously never even listened to Harris stump speeches, but you feel confident in correcting me on how many times she brought up the working class vs. the middle-class. Then you follow it up by parroting the campaign’s talking point on inflation with no understanding of why it didn’t resonate with voters (inflation is down; that doesn’t mean prices go down; so what do you tell people other than, “inflation is better now, you’re fine”?) and trying to blame that failure on, “bad actors,” and people ignorant of macroeconomics (turns out people understand when their groceries cost more!). And then you top it off by blaming billionaires for buying the election, ignoring that Harris out-spent Trump 4 to 1. Seriously, thank you, I have the beginnings of a liberal-denial bingo card with this comment alone.

        He’s not saying all morons are the same he’s just saying you’re a moron, and you’re making his case for him

          I’m pointing out that he is stereotyping me as a liberal because of the facts I stated. He’s doing this so he can use strawman arguments based on the stereotype of a liberal.

          And you’re just hurting my feefees

            I’d peg you as more of a conservative tbh. In any case, completely ignorant of what left means.

              My ideology is not stereotypical and I think that way of thinking ignores nuance.

              In any case, completely ignorant of what left means.

              That’s funny considering your username.

                So you begin this thread by saying Democrats were too left/progressive and now we must disregard labels because there’s no nuance.

                Not sure why I’m bothering to engage tbh, enjoy your worldview.

                  I never said democrats were too left/progressive. Is that an intentional strawman or just accident?

                  If you’re not going to engage in good faith then yes, please don’t engage.
