    For fuck sake that was literally the point of their comment you fool. At least look up what the Overton Window is before coming in this hot because you look like an idiot.

      Oh look… another liberal has shown up to loudly display their political incompetence and expecting to be rewarded for it.

      Yawn.

        I’m not a liberal. Learn what words mean. You’re confidently arguing about things you are clearly ignorant of

          I’m not a liberal.

          Good thing you told me - otherwise I might have been fooled by your liberal blathering, eh?

          Read real careful-like, (supposed) “non-liberal” - you cannot - I repeat cannot - move the Overton window left by voting for right-wingers.

          That shouldn’t be too hard for a “non-liberal” to understand, should it?

            You’re brain has been so broken by the bullshit “liberal/conservative” dichotomy fed to you by cable news that you don’t even know what words mean.

            Liberals are center right conservatives. Calling a progressive a liberal is an insult.

            I seriously implore you to try to inform yourself as to what these words mean. Calling someone who is borderline socialist a “liberal” immediately betrays your ignorance about politics.

              Really? I’m not the one here pretending that calling yourself “progressive” actually makes you a leftist, lib.

              That’s you - not me.

              Calling a progressive a liberal is an insult.

              Good… I’d hate to know that my insults missed.

              Calling someone who is borderline socialist

              “Borderline socialist” isn’t socialist, genius - it still means your politics are thoroughly ensconced in the reformist category. And like all people who ascribe to reformist politics, you will enthusiastically join with reactionaries as soon as the radicals start threatening your precious status quo. It’s the only thing one can expect from liberals, after all - even the ones pretending to be edgier than the run-of-the-mill types.

                  You seem mad.

                  I’m not the one getting upset at being called a liberal, liberal.

                  That’s you, remember?

                    edit: forgot to answer your question: no, I don’t remember getting mad or upset. The only angry person in this thread is you, and I think most people are confused by your unprovoked aggression.

                    I hope everything is ok, bud. It seems like you’re having a real tough time. I truly mean that. Your worldview seems to be causing you great distress and I can’t imagine how exhausting that must be.

                    I don’t get “upset” by ignorant strangers on the internet. If anything, I just feel sorry for you.

                    Growing up in an extremely conservative, Evangelical, Fox News household, so I know the exact intentions of ending that sentence with “liberal.” Like it’s a curse word, and like anyone outside your sad little bubble is going to care (plus, as we’ve established, you don’t even know what the word means).

                    Spoiler: they don’t.

                    In fact, given your tenuous grasp of these terms, and what you think “liberal” means… Your attempted insult becomes more of a compliment. So thanks!

                    It’s like those people who try to use some variant of “hurr durr you live in your mom’s basement” on grown-ass adults who have lived alone for at least a decade… It just doesn’t work lol.

                    It’s also a pretty big self-report. You don’t need a poly-sci degree to learn this stuff.
