MODERATORS
The worldwide trend is clear.
There is no left vs right. There is only rich versus poor.
Left vs right is very real though. The left traditionally champions the workers, who are not well off because they're being exploited by the capitalist darlings of the right. In fact, this class struggle has been the main point of both left and right politics for a long time, just on different sides.
They're definitely interrelated. Though I would argue that the wealth disparities we see worldwide dictate the alignment of left and right -- not the other way around.
As an American, please don’t do this shit.
Why should the future states of the Trump Empire not embrace their inevitable demise?
Conservatives shilling for billionaires!? You don't say!
No shit. So are the liberals. It’s the one thing they never argue about.
These clown ass headlines always trying to do: me side good, ur side bad...
bro, these regime whores enabling owner class to run trains on all of the pleb class every single day haha
It's sad to see Canada isn't much better off. Can we please just have one country on this continent that doesn’t consist entirely of political parties who unapologetically act against the interests of their voters?
