How The US Ended Up With Two Right-Wing Parties
Added 2021-09-15 16:33:28 +0000 UTCHowdy, friends! We hear a lot about the Democrats being "the radical left." Most of us know this obviously isn't the case, but what many Americans don't realize is that the Democrats should not be considered left-wing at all. In this episode we're exploring the ratchet effect and the long rightward shift of the Democratic Party. Hope you enjoy!

Uhhhh... technically two left wing parties based on the Overton window

2021-11-12 21:41:50 +0000 UTCExcellent video, this is something that needs to be said. However I sincerely hope you withdraw the DSA endorsement. Numerous various DSA figureheads have made it clear they don't want any opposition to Biden's policies in their agenda. They have become a distraction from real activist opportunities.

2021-09-16 23:32:31 +0000 UTCI can’t watch it either. It won’t let me follow the link to YouTube.

2021-09-16 10:22:12 +0000 UTCI can't watch this video. It wants me to log in. I ddeleted my Google and Facebook accounts since the Cambrige Analytica scandal. I will sign up for both once they show intrest in not messing up democracies around the world. There are lots of documentaries showing how these data companies mess up our society: Social Dilema, The Great Hack and Brexit on HBO (not actually a documentary). Is there any way I can watch it without a Google account?

2021-09-16 09:38:33 +0000 UTCPeople somehow think that the corporate puppet saying mean things about the very far right corporate puppets means that the original puppet is somehow super liberal and progressive. Two parties can be shit at the same time, one being bad does not mean the other is super progressive.

2021-09-16 00:38:47 +0000 UTCMeasured by criteria of countries with the actual full political spectrum, Democrats are center right (not right part of center, central part of right). Bernie is smack in the middle of center (although some of his ideas go all over the place).

2021-09-15 19:48:52 +0000 UTCThat's very interesting. I've never seen a skull and crossbones associated with the DSA. They're usually all about roses. But yeah, anarchist groups can be a bit cringe, which is unfortunate.
