    Where are these liberals? I’m only seeing celebrations or “I don’t condone but in this case I don’t care either” for the fascist getting shot.

    Or were you hearing them condemn gun violence for the school shooting that also occurred today?

      I’ve seen a lot of posts condemning political violence. Newsom, Bernie, Harris, Waltz, AOC.

      It’s in their best interest to condemn political violence, they work in politics.

        I haven’t seen any of them praising the assassination of Palestinians though.

          Agreed, at best this is confirmation bias at play

      Then there must be some mismatch between what actual liberal leaders are saying, and their followers.

          “liberals” being whatever you need the term to mean in the moment.

            The politics understander has trouble believing US democrats are in fact, liberals.

              Sure, today you mean top Democrats, tomorrow you mean anyone a hair to the right of Marx.

                If the person that is a hair to the right of Marx defend capitalism surprise surprise he is a liberal.

                  I’m sure you’ll accuse them of doing so, yes.

                So your complaint is that, while they are using the term correctly now, in the future they might not be? Are you an idiot or just a troll?

                    So top Democrats aren’t liberals?
