"who are inclined to -call themselves- democratic socialists..."

2018-04-12 22:38:07 UTC  

was what i said

2018-04-12 22:38:24 UTC  

@rail5 So that means your target audience was demsocs.

2018-04-12 22:38:48 UTC  

if you'd stop antagonizing me before listening to what i'm saying you might learn that we're on the same page

2018-04-12 22:38:57 UTC  

again our target audience was bernie supporters

2018-04-12 22:39:04 UTC  

bernie supporters often called themselves democratic socialists

2018-04-12 22:39:10 UTC  

whether thats an accurate label is irrelevent

2018-04-12 22:39:17 UTC  

my apologies if the phrasing in that one sentence was confusing

2018-04-12 22:39:49 UTC  

Go on....

2018-04-12 22:40:14 UTC  

sorry, about what?

2018-04-12 22:40:52 UTC  

i mean what haven't i clarified enough and i'll try my best to explain

2018-04-12 22:40:54 UTC  

....

2018-04-12 22:41:18 UTC  

i'm asking genuinely

2018-04-12 22:43:04 UTC  

dont give any legitimacy to socdems as radicals/socialists at all, it just waters the actual meaning of socialism to mean nothing besides left liberalism.

2018-04-12 22:43:20 UTC  

agreed

2018-04-12 22:43:22 UTC  

its counterproductive and a waste of time

2018-04-12 22:43:24 UTC  

@rail5 If your target audience was soc dems then you guys failed right there and then.

2018-04-12 22:43:55 UTC  

Soc dems will never become radical communists.

2018-04-12 22:44:06 UTC  

Even mao had to deal with that issue.

2018-04-12 22:45:48 UTC  

i mean i guess i just fundamentally disagree. i've seen even a number of right-wingers become radicalized into the far left

2018-04-12 22:45:59 UTC  

it seems to me the far left is just plainly logical

2018-04-12 22:46:09 UTC  

and if somebody is open to logical reasoning they'll be open to socialism

2018-04-12 22:46:26 UTC  

regardless of their political background

2018-04-12 22:47:10 UTC  

@rail5 There will always be exceptions with a few people.

2018-04-12 22:47:53 UTC  

(And in the best case, people like you will probably just get people who have no idea what they are doing).

2018-04-12 22:48:58 UTC  

@rail5 Yhea, I have been here for over a year and opened myself to socialism, and have seen many people attempt to convert me to socialism, and their attempts failed miserably, and that includes people from all sorts of ideologies.

2018-04-12 22:50:03 UTC  

And I have not seen a single person be converted to leftism here either.

2018-04-12 22:51:17 UTC  

@Firefly Do you remember when this place used to be thriving with leftists a year ago? Then they all just left?

2018-04-12 22:56:10 UTC  

Fuck, looking at my posts, I used to be such a bad trump supporter.

2018-04-12 23:09:03 UTC  

Same

2018-04-12 23:09:55 UTC  

4 in 10 millennials are woke

2018-04-12 23:11:47 UTC  

Oy vey goyim, remember your crimes! You owe us your continents!

2018-04-12 23:16:39 UTC  

it's either they're woke or just don't care enough

2018-04-12 23:16:48 UTC  

and i have a feeling it's because they don't care

2018-04-12 23:16:59 UTC  

How active is this place?

2018-04-12 23:17:02 UTC  

very

2018-04-12 23:17:33 UTC  

Why do some leftys dislike leftypol?

2018-04-12 23:17:39 UTC  

because it sucks

2018-04-12 23:17:46 UTC  

hue

2018-04-12 23:18:00 UTC  

over half of leftypol is right wingers
