    Is this how liberals fantasize about revolutionary action while still staying as milk toast as possible?

    Edit: I appreciate Lemmy for the simple fact that I can use “liberal” in any sub and not be considered a conservative by default when I’m criticizing that perspective.

      Using it the way you do does make you a conservative, though. In the first past the post system if you’re not opposing the conservatives then you’re promoting them.

        Well you’re fantasising about elections and not lining up republican politicians against the wall or gunning them down as they head to their car after work.

          Yeah, you’re right, your fantasy that you’re never going to do in real life is so much better than that other fantasy that isn’t happening.

            I’m not the one in America.

            Let them enjoy voting Trump out of office next “election” if they don’t want to stand up.

              And how many alt right neo nazis have you slain in the street in your own country? I’ve a feeling I would have heard of you if you had.

                Why would I kill them when there’s no threat of them taking over?

                I’ve attended rallies in the past and bashed the fash.
