    Your view was the standard view in 2024/25, from corporate sources, and I think much of the population simply accepted that view, especially among liberals.

    But you’ve lost. And no one believes you or your sources in corporate media. Its clear that your ideology is bankrupt, so people have abandoned you.

    The hollowness and emptiness of your perspective is exactly why Hasan is ascendant, and you and your twins in corporate media are descendant.

      Between views like that and the constant purity testing it’s no wonder why leftism is so deeply unpopular in America.

          When your movement goes from 1% support to 3% it really feels that way.

            You are thinking of linux adoption. I’m talking about the proportion of democrats who identify or prefer socialism.

                You have the nuance of a cinderblock. I’m steel manning the argument: Because even the far right recognize the ascendancy and popularity of Democratic Socialism.

                Like, I don’t actually believe you believe most of the shit you say any more. No one can be both this terminally online and simultaneously this obtuse.

                  The far right are obviously going to exaggerate that.

                    You understand this is why you and yours have no relevancy right? This are basic ass debate-pervert tropes. These wouldn’t even fly in 2001 internet debate.

                    You don’t like reality so you attack the source, which is practically a copy-pasta of the original pew poll.

                    You are hollow. Your worldview is empty. You don’t live in a verifiable, reproducible version of reality.

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary.

Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage.

This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
