    All I’m saying is everything is further to the right in the US. These things you listed aren’t even partisan issues here, they’re just normal things. But I see you’re just downvoting and arguing so I’ll be on way cheers.

    I just don’t see it as anything other than bad optics. The DNC policy is very left, if we gave them 60 senators for the first time since 1979 then the USA could become something envied by Europe.

      I just defaulted to USA because it’s where I and (I think) most lemmitors are from.

      In any case, it’s trivial not to get abducted and murdered, simply don’t commit espionage.

      It’s weird that you only single non-western countries out when most countries treat espionage pretty seriously.

      You are not the one who will decide if you are a spy. Do not place your destiny in the hands of proven liars and murderers.

        No justice system lets the accused judge their own guilt, but the US admitted those guys were spies.

          I’d say the curve it’s much flatter on the left side. As in right side is shouting tankie, meanwhile there are like 2 tankies and the right wants to set the whole barn on fire to get them both.

            They run TikTok among many other CCP funded operations, I wouldn’t disregard them personally.

              Ah yeah sure, taxing the rich, removing money from politics, making healthcare and bodily autonomy a human right, all such right ideals. /sarcasm

              That’s what the democratic socialists and social democrats want, sure.

              The rest of the Democrats call them radicals and Hakeem Jeffries just told them to leave the party.

                  It’s core DNC policy stance. Even Hillary Clinton campaigned against Citizens United, even Harris proposed unrealized gains taxes over $1M, every DNC supports Medicaid expansion.

                    Unironically yes, to a Tankie the word Capitalism doesn’t mean Capitalism, it means western nation adversarial to China and their military allies.

                      We’ll leave aside that those policies don’t line up as well with your initial statement as we’re pretending because that still leaves us at Jeffries telling everyone not a neoliberal to fuck off.

                      Him and the other 94 Democratic reps that voted to honor a Nazi propagandist don’t seem to have received the memo that’s there’s plenty of general policy to align on.

                        I just joined the devs’ instance for technical support reasons, not ideological ones. I’m certainly not a tankie, gross.

                        So no, I still don’t know what you mean with that “money”.

                          For examle, Russia spends enormous amount of money on foreign propaganda, both internaly and externally. That money.

                            Not every DNC is great, but they’re left on the majority of policy, and every GOP is 100% your enemy.

                            Speaking of policy, thanks for finally citing 1 policy, albeit one which was bipartisan while including a minority of Democrats. Most of the Anti-DNC content I see on here is bot generated and incapable of doing just that.
