This attitude is why the right is winning. The left, both leftists and liberals, would rather keep gatekeeping what counts as left than actually make any progress to the left.
Because you think they’re on the same side. They aren’t. Liberals are right of center. Why the fuck would leftists compromise with right wing politics?
Some guy: “Hey, can we move the overton window to the left? We need to talk about socialized healthcare and common sense welfare programs so the poors don’t starve.”
Lemmy.ml: “YOU ARE THE ENEMY! FASCIST FASCIST! Social Democracy is just there to keep the revolution from happening!”
Leftists who keep looking down on liberals are just as bad as the liberals the meme is about.
Nah liberals are fucking stupid. Go suck a billionaire dick for a campaign donation.

Liberals are NOT leftist. Leftism begins at anti capitalism.
billionaire dick sucking noises

Because you think they’re on the same side. They aren’t. Liberals are right of center. Why the fuck would leftists compromise with right wing politics?
Because the alternative is letting the far right win.
No, they really aren’t.
We don’t look down on liberals. They are our enemies. Underestimating the enemy is key to losing any battle.
