This makes me sad, I thought we mostly agreed that what FDR did is a good way forward.

All he did was save capitalism which inevitably led to what the US has today. There is no future for humanity with oligarchs like him and his family despite their supposed good intentions

Always relative to the point of view, for an far right wing everybody else is an leftist/communist.

Both are good, one is better

Both can be correct, it's not a hard black and white split

The leftist revolutionary heroes are resisting the people on the right, it is a hard split. The people on the right are shepherds of the US carceral state and imperial murderers

Last time I checked, that's not how that works, everyone has a wide range of ideals and views. Not 1 or 2, there can be 1 1/2, 1 1/3, 1 1/10000, whatever

Until we get ranked choice voting, you still need to support them though.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 58 minutes ago (1 children)

Ranked Choice Voting is both too ineffective to make any change, and too difficult to get in the first place. It's the perfect endless carrot on a string, the eternal "just one more lane and traffic will be gone."

Even if that's so, you'd still need to vote for the people on the right, because voting third party in first past the post is objectively just terrible for everyone with similar goals.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 minutes ago

The people on the right work with the Republicans. They aren't resistance. Revolution is a necessity.

[–] tiredturtle@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Who mean those on the right? They don't even self identify as leftists, why should some of their followers say that?

[–] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 2 points 1 hour ago

Yeah a better title would have been "I'm left wing" or something but I hate the English language and refuse to respect it.

There two sides.

1% and their zombies

The rest of us.

Let's not split up and weaken. 💪
