| curl-6 said: See this is why I no longer consider myself a leftist; over the past decade or so the left have become so nasty, so intolerant, so totalitarian, that calling for the murder of those who disagree with them is the norm now. Bullying, coercion, threats, exclusion, its all par for the course for the modern left. Anyone who doesn't submit to their opinions is relentless attacked and abused, and it's disgusting. I don't like Trump, but the fact much of America is seriously leaning towards an obvious conman who tried to overthrow democracy rather than the left speaks volumes about how utterly toxic the left has become. If they're serious about defeating the alt right, leftists need to wake up and deal with the extremists within their own ranks who have hijacked their movement. |
I don't know much about American Politics, but with Australia I think both parties have lost there way, there is no sane government that wants to be in the middle and when a leader tries their party massacres them. I think they d it this way so they can retain their jobs.
The other problem is our media basically employee's people to post about tweets and tiktok or reddit comments who are not real journalists with an political interest or knowledge.
In the morning you get and opinion piece on how Albo sucks, in the afternoon another one how he is doing a great job. This gets the toxic trolls out on social media.
Feels like both parties and the media are taking us for a ride, by causing divide on purpose so there isn't enough smart people to start thinking about how each MP has performed in their job that they were elected to do and we constantly blame someone else.
