If your first response to POC talking about racism they deal with is "but there's racism everywhere", you were admitting you don't think racism is a problem and might very well be a racist.

Caring about climate change might as well be a hobby. The things being destroyed won't come back. It'll take decades to get back to where we are now. By then, too much will be damaged.
I'm pretty much with Madeline here. It's moreso the ideology vs the people. The people suck. It seems that most are alt-righters who hopped on leftism/anarchy for the anti-establishment vibes. I've been dehumanized by anarchists. Even in leftism, I have to be "one of the good ones" to be accepted.

These initiatives won't magically return. We are heading towards irreparable damage. Might as well just buy that car.

Maybe if they didn't choose a lifestyle that's 100% dependant on cars, it wouldn't be that much of a problem. I live in the burbs. It's crazy how many claim persecution from minor inconveniences.

If you decided to stay home instead of vote, this is on you too. You abandoned us.

This is just one of the many reasons I'll never go to protests again. Disabled people are already dying in ICE facilities. And when I deal with ableism from those on "my side", kinda makes me not see the point in going.
What sucks is if we do have a Dem President and Congress after Trump, all they can focus on is trying to fix the shit Trump destroyed. No real progress can be made. When no real progress is made, people will get angry and either vote for people like Trump or abstain from voting. This shit won't end.

This won't end after Trump. Stuff like this has forever consequences. Trump becoming President made racism, ableism, bigotry, etc. socially acceptable. All the "progress" we made as a nation is gone. It won't just magically come back.
This is what I think of when I think about leftism. It's just a place for the anti-establishment crowd to gather. It's why so many leftists act like MAGA. They are the same kind of person. It's why racism, ableism, bigotry, etc. are problems in the "leftist" community.

I swear, leftists are fucking stupid. They wouldn't vote for Harris because the Middle East was more important than issues at home. Their anti-US sentiment is so strong they're willing to let everything burn.
"Liberal" and "progressive" are just self-appointed labels. To be either means you must listen and be empathetic to those who have different experiences. It seems those who lean conservative use those labels because they don't know what they mean or for the sake of appearing to be either.
