Great, now name the institutions of power the left currently hold.


The presidency. So 1 out of 3


lol youre going to have to try a little harder my guy


Is it wrong? Does the right not control the supreme court, senate and house? How about the media? The largest tv news channel is right, basically all popular talk radio is right, the largest newspapers?

How many state governments are run by the right? What are the QoL stats like for those states?


Tech? Corporations? Movies and TV? Academia? Jouralism? You have a massive blindside.


You think Corporations are left wing? Tech employees might lean left at least the more vocal ones but corporations are definitely not left wing for the most part. Media and Academia I can accept and I already mentioned journalism or at least news which clearly favours the right.


Yeah, corporations are clearly left wing with few exceptions. They may not be your brand of left wing but they clearly are left wing. Blatantly so. Dont gaslight.

3.4% of journalists are republicans while 34% are democrats. The reason fox news is the most popular is because its the only mainstream conservative news in the U.S. in a sea of liberal media. The vast majority of journalism and journalists lean left.


Name a single Fortune 50 company that is "Left wing" and please give reasons as to what makes them "left wing"

Give me a break already, you are not being sincere


You believe the worlds 4th largest military contractor is left wing because they posted a pride month tweet? Who is not being sincere.


Yes, obviously. "we stand with LGBTQ+ and are powered by pride" is consistent with conservative positions?

lmao.

sorry you cant see 2+2=4.


Oh of course sorry, I forgot that social media managers are required to be completely honest about their corporate positions when making social media posts latching onto social trends.

I honestly think you might be the first person I've ever spoken to that has fallen for this stuff.

So what you said is dishonest; it's not just a lone social media manager and I also know for a fact that Boeing has multiple left-leaning ERGs.

Previously, you said

> I don't like a lot of people on the left in politics but that is not enough to make me want to vote against my interests/beliefs

I'd like you to prove it now, or are you going to claim everyone you don't like isn't part of the true left?


Yes, congrats on being the only person in the world to believe a corporations social media posts around social issues.

>I'd like you to prove it now, or are you going to claim everyone you don't like isn't part of the true left?

I'm not sure what you're asking of me here? Lots of people on the left I don't like and lots of people on the right I disagree with on a lot of issues but like. My views are very socially liberal, financially I want everyone to have a very strong airtight safety net and access to the essentials for a safe healthy life, but I am also very pro capitalism.

I don't like any corporation though, they are made up of people and can change completely in an instant where excepting a mental health episode individuals aren't like that.


Understood, you are not willing to to see fault with your own political tribe.


You're insufferable...
