This reminds me of that meme (article?) someone posted a couple days ago about some dude who loves metal gives up trying to explain to his family that he's not goth, cuz it's easier to just lets his family ogle at his 'goth phase'.
So... same energy - whether or not "left" and "democrat" are synonymous depends entirely on the person I'm talking to... they either already know, or I don't have the energy to try to teach them.
Agreed. But also, you can just ignore those terms entirely and focus on actual issues..
100%
This is pointless identitarian bullshit that does nothing to stop the fascists currently in charge of the United States.
It all makes me a bit suspicious.
That's sort of the point of my post. It's trying to poke fun on people not knowing the difference and depending on how the person define the terms. Instead, they called this post a "psyops" and I guess I also inadvertently caused another leftist/liberal (in-)fighting depending how you look at it.
