I have a friend who doesn’t like Kamala. She’s simultaneously not leftist enough and also “too woke” for him. Says he won’t vote for her. He lives in Nevada where his vote actually matters.
He also has strong opinions about the homeless and how we should do nothing and just let them die in the streets.
We only talk about sports now.
Your friend is no leftist
He’s more of a tankie than he knows. He’s firmly in the camp of “if they don’t work/contribute, then let them die”.
I assure you that no "tankie" would think this either. It certainly isn't principle to marxism-leninism. Your friend is likely a social-chauvinist.
Ask him how he feels about nationalism
He doesn’t think there should be nations.
New type of guy huh, this is what zero reading does to a mf
Nah, you just have to understand Reaganite brain rot.
My money's on him saying that "leftism is the lack of authoritarianism."
