I get confused because the right and left both call each other the libs and as far as I can tell, US liberals don't really align to either liberalism or libertarianism, rather an acute section of them here and there for personal benefit.

The free market, for example, which both ideologies oppose as soon as it encroaches on other freedoms, becoming anti-liberal. But US libs will strip the liberties off anyone for a buck and an entirely unregulated free market will let them do that. Adam Smith covered so much of this stuff and I'm pretty sure US libs would say he's a commie.

You don’t have to be authoritarian to be a leftist.

At this point, I just want the lesser of the two evils.

You know, like leftist vs a fucking lunatic fascist pedo rapist who is burning our country to the ground as if his addled slimy ass is going to take any of it with him when he finally cacks.

Yes, we need things to get cleaned out of the Barney Horror Picutre Show, but if we give up ground about twice more, it'll just be full-on Right vs Right. The next person that goes in has to be left of Biden at the very least or no margins will be made. We couldn't even get we'll stop funding the atrocities in Gaza out of the "left" candidate last time.

Should it have been K? F yeah in comparison, but give us something to drag people out of the house to vote for.
