It seems like now is a good time to have a conversation about finding common ground between the various factions of left/progressive folks. I know this isn’t a new topic but maybe it’s worth revisiting.
What are the sticking points and what can we all agree on in the context of current-day politics?
Adding some things I think any leftist should be able to agree on:
-
Capitalism has been a strong negative influence on human existence
-
People who look, act and live differently from you deserve exactly the same human rights as you, even if they make you uncomfortable
-
Health care, food, water, and housing are human rights
You proved my point exactly, the fact that I criticized Kamala made you assume I didn’t vote for her. I did vote for her, that doesn’t mean I like or supported her. Despite voting for her I still think Kamala Harris deserved to loose. Its not the voters jobs to constantly make excuses for a fascist politican, did I want her to win of couse but I also understand why people voted third party. Before the next election I hope the workers can put together a true workers party.
Also I’m Trans, I understand how a lot of people are feeling. I also happen to be lucky enough to have a one way ticket out (which I obviously took).
Honestly, great. I’m glad you voted that way. It doesn’t change a shred of my point about the sentiment of the comment you made. I’m happy that you have a ticket out, too. No one deserves to suffer through this. We will, though.
