```It’s easy to argue that the American left is on the cusp of a great victory. The economic anxieties of the working class have gone unaddressed. The Resistance is passionate and politically engaged. Faith in capitalism is plummeting. Only 42 percent of millennials embrace capitalism, according to a Harvard University poll, while 51 percent reject it.```
lmao
wat
the fuq
`51 percent reject it`
left give a f††† about working class
that's not 'cusp'
hillary is a bank bi†ch
```he second stream fueling economic authoritarianism is identity politics. It used to be that big political divides were defined by economic interests; now, the cultural dog wags the economic tail. Identity politics defines the core political divides. When many progressives talk about economics these days, they take the habits of mind they developed when talking about identity groups and apply them to economic groups.```
true tbh
^^
my brain is bleeding inside
the left is in crisis
yeah
theyre obsessed with marxism
that seems new, at least in the last couple decades?
back when the clintons ran s††† it was just like having your country run by a used car salesman
^so they cant be criticized obvs
also suppose the left sorts its act out, then the right is in trouble. Trump was elected president out of reaction
^^^so they wont need a coherent and sane argument
by the electoral college?
the right?
The right is all of the place. The republican party was greatly divided
look at the primaries
the other rep candidates were bad
it was funny to watch but you had a lot of respected people up there
dems were bad
trump was going to win since the day bernie sold out to hill and obam
Rand Paul for example, Trump made comments on his looks
or else we were gonna be f†††ed
He made comments about Cruz and his family
were they lies, or just hyperbole?
They were bullish and unnecessary
was he alone? half the internet decided he's the zodiac killer
my point being is the right isnt in a great place either, it's just the left has gone crazy
the right needs to also get its act together
ive never been supportive of the right
