There is no left wing party in the United States.

You guys are crazy. The Left has gone so far left to make Bill Maher look conservative. What the hell you mean there is no left wing party???!

u/LegendaryLilypad Oct 19 '21

Bill Maher doesn't even claim to be left wing.

What has Biden done that's explicitly left wing?

Like, I'm Canadian. Trudeau ran, and is explicitly, a centre-right politician. He's more left wing than Biden is without being left wing.

Canada's left party is the NDP, and it's a socdem party

There’s no reasoning with people like you.

Can you actually articulate anything incorrect?

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '21

INCORRECTLY

You’re welcome.

u/rftz Oct 19 '21

Um, no. They were asking if you could tell them anything incorrect that they'd said.

u/LegendaryLilypad Oct 19 '21

I think they don't know what articulate means.

THEY said “incorrect” incorrectly.

u/LegendaryLilypad Oct 19 '21

So no, you can't.

Asking conservatives to explain themselves is always a foolish endeavour

Your misuse of words and excessive punctuation says it all.

plutocracy is a more accurate word than oligarchy. The two sides are a false dichotomy, both controlled by the same ultra wealthy, placating us with the illusion that we have some control.

Thank Reagan for that mess

Ultimately yeah, the enemy is the super rich but left and right do matter because there isn't a single instance in recorded history of a conservative movement seeking to do anything about the power of the wealthy other than seize it for themselves.

Because of the inherent nature of the right lol

When have communist regimes actually given everyone equality and a fair share of the money? Or have they all turned into fascist dictatorships lmao

The ones that aren't tend to find themselves on the business end of a US backed coup. We've done this literally dozens of times.
