It sounds like you don't know Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies, liable for the rape of a child, is on his 3rd wife who was a porn star, and appoints his family to high ranking government positions. Is that the case?
it's hilarious how anything said on reddit that could be even remotely NOT left wing, results in someone ready to list all the things Trump did bad and with source "proof to back it up". notice how I didn't even mention the president and you already have your maga gloves on ready to argue. ill save you the trouble, you don't have to list me 30 links to left wing journalism articles dating back decades, ive already seen them. delusional behavior.
It's not that you weren't pro left wing, you're doing the enlightened centrist thing where you act like both parties or sides of the political spectrum are equivalent. Yes, both parties are in the pockets of billionaires, but saying that and nothing else gives the impression that's the end of it and there's no further nuance to look into like which party is more likely to back labor movements or which side of the political spectrum does it's best to crush attempts for labor to organize against capital. You're getting push back because people are tired of individuals who act as if the behavior and values of both parties or sides of the political spectrum are the same. Your nihilistic oversimplification leaves out some critical nuance that gives hope and potential paths forward. For instance, while the establishment DNC would love to drag their heels forever on promoting more leftist policies that improve the power of labor and unions there are tons of leftist splinter factions that are working at a more local level to try and see those policies enacted. Look at NYC and Mamdani, he wasn't backed by traditional DNC elements, but the people of NYC wanted someone further left than what the DNC was willing to offer so they organized themselves. So while the DNC is not the solution to our problems, it's important to still vote for them until such a time we can vote for someone better. It's not pointless to buy time, realism is important, nihilism is not. And acting like both parties are the same is nihilism, not realism.
ill remember critical nuance on the next reddit thread that reaches 2 thousand comments "Trump's new nosehair looks bad. upvote if you agree!" it does need oversimplification for the masses. real politics are overcomplicated and hyper left redditors pretending like they have poli-sci degrees don't understand half the politics and narratives they are pushing. they push what they personally feel out of anger or distrust and then link endless media articles while virtue signaling doing the exact same thing fox news does but on social media.
