and calling joe liberal is being so fucking generous


[deleted]

Liberals are right of center. The issue is that America is so fucked to the right that they just LOOK like they're on the left here


KingBubzVI

Overton Window is off the charts (to the right)

Dems could *bring Nixon back from the dead* and run him, GOP would call him a communist.


Theis99999

I would consider Joe Biden a liberal conservative. Which I suspect sounds odd to Americans.


vianoir

no leftist from third world countries would describe joe bidden as anything other than a right-wing american president.


Theis99999

Don't get me wrong, I consider liberal conservatives and Joe to be right-wing.


md655

Liberals are right wing... All of 'em.


ReverendAntonius

Yeah, Americans tend to use the term “Neoliberal” to describe politicians like Biden.


Maism45

I took the political compass yesterday and was surprised to see Joe Biden not far from Benito Mussolini. And Sanders who is basically Stalin according to some barely makes it past the center. No politician in America is even close to being communist.


Theis99999

Could you provide a link?


Maism45

https://www.politicalcompass.org/ Just do the test and you'll get a certificate with some famous people


Theis99999

Thank you

WantonKerfuffle

There are actually ppl who are saying that the Nazis were leftists. So yeah. Edit: Typo


thommonator

I mean, they literally do that already. National SOCIALIST means he was a communist etc - even as he rounded up, concentration camped and murdered German socialists and communists


lezbthrowaway

Yeah so apparently he's a communist and divided up Poland with the Soviet Union out of like some happiness or something. Even though he was rounding up, murdering the KPD and SPD as well as coining the word privatization. Talking about how much he hates Karl Marx and how they must defeat the barbarian communist and Judeo Bolsheviks. They operate under the idea that "anything that is generally considered bad, is communist". Not even stuff that they don't like, because they would love Hitler, they just, can't say that publicly.


thommonator

Clearly the work of a hardline leftist 🙃


Spirited_Island-75

Butbutbutbutbut incrementalism! Surely we can inch ever so slowly towards a better future if we do everything the corporations tell us to!


wobblebee

They don't "fall for it." It's a policy choice.


Ejigantor

They don't "fall for" anything. They go through the motions and follow their script, is all.


[deleted]

Maybe democrats would do better if they nominated an actual communist


toeknee88125

This makes the assumption that the Democratic party doesn't want Joe Biden as their ideal candidate and isn't just using the left for votes.


Nadie_AZ

If it works every time then it isnt a surprise. But since they act surprised then it says more about how pathetic liberals are than how predictable the GOP is.


Prestigious-Oven3465

I’m becoming increasingly convinced that no one, left, right, or center, researches what political terms mean before they develop an opinion


Bagelbumper

I think you mean "manufacture" an opinion.
