A new poll finds that only about 1 in 10 U.S. adults give high ratings to the way democracy is working in the United States or how well it represents the interests of most Americans.
You realize the right wing spends billions on spreading that exact propaganda line among the left, because every left-leaning person they manage to blackpill means one less vote against their candidates in the next election, right?
Alternate take: you wouldn’t be able to blackpill people on the left if the democrat party actually showed up and executed policy that makes the working people’s lives easier. Republicans can push this propaganda because, like most propaganda, there is a nugget of truth at the core. The state doesn’t give a shit about “we the people” except for the cases where “people” are corporations.
You realize that this line of thinking basically boils down to “blackpilled leftists are too stupid to form their own ideology and conclusions and are mere puppets of the right wing”, right?
It’s really condescending and I wish liberal democrats spent half the effort actually fighting the right wing as they did anyone even slightly to their left.
My brother in Christ, I spend orders of magnitude more time and effort working IRL to keep Republicans out of office than I do arguing with you guys online. In fact, the only reason I’m still interacting with you is because I think you’re a decent person who just has a difference of opinion than me. I don’t argue with right wingers online because there’s no point, it’s block and report on sight. Save your energy for the real battles in the real world, ya know?

You Republicans are really fucking bad at pretending to be left-leaning.
