Many people on the left play race and victimization politics. Race hustlers. I hate both political parties and don't believe in a two party system because it doesn't provide us with real options or solutions. Many people on the left are playing Black people. Some of them are racist and are only concerned with keeping Black people dependent on them.
Some white leftists are yes.
But I think you're talking about white liberals, not leftists in this instance
Sure but it applies to leftists, liberals, conservatives and rightists
yeah but not nearly the same at all. racism from liberals is 100% different compared to the left
Complete nonsense, the public conversation is completely dominated by leftist ideas now
yall think twitter is real life
America is more conservative than it is liberal. Look at the current president. Look at the lack of healthcare. America is a conservative country.
This thread
Makes me think that thread I was gonna make will do well
yeah but not nearly the same at all. racism from liberals is 100% different compared to the left
I think many people on the left thinking their policies are the direct cure for poor Black people has white savior undertones
Then again I can’t really blame people for believing their economic ideas will lift the most disenfranchised group of Americans out of poverty
yeah but not nearly the same at all. racism from liberals is 100% different compared to the left
You’re right though it’s not the same it’s a lot more prevalent among liberals where I actually see a lot of leftists who seem to actually care about Black people not cuz it’s a virtue signal but because they actually care about their position in society
that’s because there hasn’t really been any leftist politicians or government in the US
the current American political landscape doesn’t care about eradicating poverty or making sure people have healthcare and housing.
from clinton, to bush, to obama, to trump they may not be the complete same but they are definitely all the same establishment that keeps the people down.
corporate media reflects their views that’s why it protects this political class .
I just said I don't believe in the two party system as it is and that American politicians are playing Black people regardless of what party. I am fully aware that all politicians are essentially the same and act more according to the interests of capitalists and corporations than the interests of the people. OP asked about what people consider to be the left which is essentially synonymous with the Democratic party in most people's minds. While acting progressive and on the side of Black people, they actually do very little for our communities collectively and play race politics to get us to vote for them in masses.
i am a white, left leaning u.s. citizen. i am anti racist because my mom raised me to be this way and i have been educated by talking to my black friends. i am not anti racist so that you or anyone will be proud of me. i think some people really genuinely do want what's best for everyone but you probably won't find them on twitter
Unless you’re a billionaire, politicians don’t care about your interests period
If anything this year should’ve proven this to everyone, but there’s still so many people arguing over which old white non-progressive racist rapist should be running the country, when the answer is that neither of them should
Nobody’s gonna protest that though, are they
yes there is some racism from even those who support leftist views.
a lot of white people have been notoriously against kanye since the taylor swift incident.
kanye’s fan base is definitely
more white than black which is normal given the population. a lot of people are uninformed about politics. maybe those people are aware that biden is trash so they believe that kanye could legitimately have a chance if people kept throwing their votes away.
the realm of politics is mad. all you have to do is look at how the media treats leftist politicians: corbyn and sanders are two big examples of the first world country where the establishment utilises everything in their power to stop any form of left wing ideology.
so to answer, while there is without a doubt racism towards kanye, people are genuinely shook of trump and what the future holds. some people don’t want another bloomberg/warren deal where they more or less siphoned votes away from bernie.
and others don’t want someone who was seen as supporting trump to do the same.

100% correct America doesnt move forward because politicians on both sides get bought out by organisations cough cough pharmaceutical companies
i would even argue they Bill Clinton did as much damage to America then Reagan did with basically letting white house get bought out

I don’t even have a Twitter bro
I’m talking about this constant bullshit about privilege and cancel culture being rammed down people’s throats
Some white leftists are yes.

Can you explain what u believe the difference between leftists and liberals is?

Leftists aka socialists are anti capitalist. Liberals are capitalists. That's the most basic way to put it
Leftists aka socialists are anti capitalist. Liberals are capitalists. That's the most basic way to put it
Are there any social differences? You said liberals are more racist than leftists for example
The USA should copy what NZ does with proportional representation which makes it harder for corporations to buy out everyone
Most issue i have politics stem back to how everyone is bought out in different ways

There are people who realize that both candidates are problematic and that a two party system doesn't work. Especially a system that is allowed to receive funding from lobbyists and act in the best interests of the wealthy and corporations. But political parties are essentially cults, so there is no convincing most of their followers that there is a larger issue than the politics of the other party. Those who realize the entire system is flawed are in the minority.

Like how they view social issues?
Liberals are constrained in their approach to dealing with them because they can never allow themselves to be criticize capitalism, so they can never get to the root cause
Doesn't mean all socialists are good on social issues tho
