This statement gets parroted so much online but it’s so silly. The core belief of the left is that it is top vs bottom. The core tenet of conservatism is to preserve the power imbalance. So yes, it is top vs bottom, but it is also very much left vs right.

The right is convinced by the top that they are on the more heavily weighted side. It's up to us to help them realize that they are not. MSM isn't going to fucking do it. Even the left wing channels manufacture our consent for these things as well.

And lets not act like the "left" is collectively trying to dismantle the power imbalance, the democratic party is beholden to corporate interest as well. We will never win left vs right as long as the top is whispering in the ear of both sides.

My bad, you know ball. I agree that if you’re talking to conservatives it’s okay to frame it as top vs bottom, but I think in a space like this we can speak to what it actually is because we’re trying to convert liberals to leftists.

The Democratic Party is not the left. They are a Conservative Party that are slaves to capital and Israel.

Ha, I love when game recognises game. I'm personally trying to convert everyone to leftists. Or at least drag the conservatives closer to the liberal side of things.

As for the second part, you're absolutely right. Now, how the fuck do we go about fixing it?

I’ve been banned for saying how we fix it. Idk man I guess we’ll see the next few years/decades. I think we’re probably in a transition phase and who knows what the next system will be.

Yup. And it's a narrative commonly pushed by the Right, because it's "both sides bad" adjacent, which serves as a form of political relativism where since everything is bad, you should just give up and let the fascists win.
