    I’m a libertarian commie myself (not a tankie). The overton window has shifted so far to the right that people are fully convinced that socdems are leftist. Socdems are like the bare friggin’ minimum and it’s crazy how many people don’t realise that.

      Yeah, I was a Libertarian myself until the early 2000’s. Not anymore though.

      Their anything goes gun stance became, to me, a red line after school shootings became a daily thing in the US. Watching them parade RFK and Donald at their convention in 2024 demonstrated that maybe their principles aren’t exactly as strong as they say they are.

      But we’d be better off Johnson had been elected. 100%. Too bad people cared more about Syria than whether or not Americans can eat.

      You neoliberals really do think anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan is a tankie don’t you?
