    The problem is there aren’t enough actual liberals left in the DNC. The majority of the DNC is more than happy to screw over workers to the benefit of corporations. What resistance they provide is mostly performative, as their real priorities are dictated by what the large corporate donors are paying for.

      Screwing over workers to the benefit of Corporations is what Liberals are for. You mean there’s no leftist left in the DNC.

      No, the problem is there are too many liberals in the party and not enough leftists. Liberals love them some anti-worker pro-corporate welfare and other right-wing policies that only benefit the rich.

          Neoliberalism, the ideology of the DNC, is a center right to right wing ideology that inherently favors moneyed interests over workers.

          Conflating “liberal” and “Left” like the billionaire-owned media do on purpose only furthers the false dichotomy of the two party system.

          Yeah it seems the hexbear “technical” definition of liberal has taken over on Lemmy, and not the definition that, you know, most people use.

            I always wonder if I’m just missing some kind of shift in the language and then six replies later they mention they don’t live in the US and I think “aw crap”.
