    I am firmly convinced that left and right now longer actually exist. Instead we have a cyclops of oppression.

      I get why people downvoted this, but you’re not entirely incorrect. The two “sides” do exist, they just both happen to be on the same side and aren’t entirely opposites like “left” and “right” would imply.

      Until we see a socioeconomic party platform that wants similar reforms to what is seen in the Nordics presently when it comes to policy, there’s no true “left” party in the US, IMO

      You’re not wrong.

      The only time we see Democrats pretend to be leftist is when they have no meaningful power to enact change. They’re conservatives in sheep’s clothing.
