which is why it's so ridiculous

2020-01-07 03:11:39 UTC  

I said they aren't the "left", but that megacorps and the left are aligned on many social issues

2020-01-07 03:12:01 UTC  

Megacorps would be something quite different, and would only use social issues as an excuse to distract from the material determinism of a 'real' leftist

2020-01-07 03:13:54 UTC  

I think criticizing big corporations is required to be a leftist

2020-01-07 03:14:04 UTC  

doesn't seem like it anymore

2020-01-07 03:14:11 UTC  

oh it's still there

2020-01-07 03:14:24 UTC  

i think the problem is who gets accused of being a leftist

2020-01-07 03:14:46 UTC  

I notice on certain kinds of media, odd people for the label get called a leftist

2020-01-07 03:14:54 UTC  

I've heard Kamala harris is a radical leftist

2020-01-07 03:15:22 UTC  

I agree that there's much more nuance to it then most people bother with

2020-01-07 03:15:31 UTC  

i don't even think it's that nuanced

2020-01-07 03:15:35 UTC  

but it's just easier to say she's a lefty I guess

2020-01-07 03:15:41 UTC  

I think it's a blatant mischaracterization

2020-01-07 03:15:48 UTC  

potentially for a purpose

2020-01-07 03:15:49 UTC  

what is she then

2020-01-07 03:16:04 UTC  

a neolib centrist at most

2020-01-07 03:16:11 UTC  

the left detests her, hillary, etc

2020-01-07 03:16:22 UTC  

i see that phrase and kamala on a lot of fox news hits

2020-01-07 03:16:31 UTC  

I don't honestly know much about her politics, but I dislike her from the way she behaved during the Kavanaugh thing

2020-01-07 03:16:52 UTC  

It's pretty safe to say she is not a leftist

2020-01-07 03:17:10 UTC  

what do you define a leftist as

2020-01-07 03:17:14 UTC  

In the Dem race, Bernie is the only real leftist

2020-01-07 03:17:29 UTC  

the rest are liberals, the left generally hates the libs

2020-01-07 03:17:31 UTC  

mmm, I dunno

2020-01-07 03:17:39 UTC  

Can confirm, Harris is not really a leftist

2020-01-07 03:17:44 UTC  

I mean yeah, technically speaking I guess you're right

2020-01-07 03:17:57 UTC  

it's easier to just lump them together since I hate them all

2020-01-07 03:17:59 UTC  

i like to be technically right

2020-01-07 03:18:26 UTC  

they all raised their hands when asked about giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants

2020-01-07 03:18:35 UTC  

she should have just used her real personality

2020-01-07 03:18:47 UTC  

and run as a law and order republican

2020-01-07 03:18:49 UTC  

Yeah she really toned it down it seemed

2020-01-07 03:19:10 UTC
