Lemmy: Fuck cars!
Considering the “left” in America, is just right-wing light, here it’s more like.
“Left”: let’s hold the breaks down so we don’t slip further back
“Centrist”: let’s let go of the breaks so we can stop when we get back to the right amount of racism
Right: let’s cut the fucking break lines and just kill everyone.
Following this metaphor, I see it as: US Left: car’s in neutral on a steep incline, foot is off the brake and they aren’t sure if they’re moving backwards or everyone outside is moving forward. Regardless they think they’re doing a great job.
Center: same as above but they’re complaining that everyone outside is going too fast that they may have even gone past their destination.
Right: same car, same place, but the car’s in reverse and the foot is on full throttle. The center is still complaining about the speed but they’re enjoying the view. The US Left is now fully aware of the backwards movement but it doesn’t want to take the seatbelt off for the sake of self preservation at the cost of everyone else outside. The rest of the world is either steering clear or has been reversed in to like in one of rear-end insurance scams.
Driver changes every 4 years.
If by US left you mean the DNC, it seems more like they have their feet on both the brake and the accelerator, and they don’t know which gear they are in [they are in reverse]. They are trying to figure out which pedal to lift first.
They are fully aware of the gear they are in.
The “cashing out” gear.
Just because the US doesn’t have a left wing party doesn’t mean it lacks leftists. There’s a lot, but leftists have never had political representation thanks to decades of suppression tactics from the conservatives (that includes liberals)
That’s why the political machine is scared of people like Zohran and Bernie, because they exist outside of the allotted window
Thank you. I’m tired of people thinking Democrates are saints, they’re scum too, just not as bad as the Republicans.
Well, they’re part of the same system as Republicans, neither party works in a vacuum, they enable the Republicans to get away with what they do. They’re both equally as shitty, because they’re just two halves of the same thing. All owned and operated by the same billionaires and corporations.
You don’t get it, we just need to buy time to build a new braking system. /s
Me: we should replace the car with a bike as it doesn’t depend on eternally burning a dwindling fuel supply and it improves your mental and physical wellbeing.
We should blow up the car - the rest of the world
(American) Lemmings: but also only ever vote blue.
God if that doesn’t sum it up nothing does
I would add something like "Dumbasses: we NEED “extra drive"or we may as well just give up and throw it into turbo reverse.”
Personally I prefer “OK let’s have half a genocide”
Accelerationists: You should turn the car around and floor it.
Far Left: Fuck you, and don’t talk to me again until the car can fly.
Far Right: Fuck you, you wrong colored fuck ::cocks gun::
Driving on the road and lefts want you to swerve leftoids and crash and rightoids want to swerve right and crash. Center left holds steady in the left land lane(left hand lane is good in this analogy) and things keep moving forward.
This site is delusional when it comes to leftists and how (in)effective they are.
There would be five leftists fighting about which forward gear they should be in while one lets the air out of the tires to help combat genocide.

I would be too embarrassed to post an Ayn Rand quote.
