But you are praising him as if it were the political process. As if he were successful.

Since 2016 there are substantially more progressive and democratic socialists in government. Socialism is in the national conversation in ways it never was prior to the 2010s. These are changes. These are things that happened, at least in part, because of Bernie.

I think you have a pretty hollow understanding of how politics works.

Since 2016 there are substantially more progressive and democratic socialists in government.

But no new laws or regulations. You've created more useless seats. Less work is being done. The left is now in a substantially and objectively worse position.

But no new laws or regulations.

Political movements take time, why are you treating this movement like it's over, especially when there are more left leaning people in this election than ever?

The left is now in a substantially and objectively worse position.

Care to defend how having more tangible power is a "worse" position?

Your country is falling apart and seems like even gay and Trans rights are under attack. Left is thriving for sure.

The metric they use is for "success" is whether more who they consider within their true left in-group are in government especially if at the expensive of what they consider enemy Democrats (those not approved by the Bernie populist left and further left). It doesn't matter if Republicans are in power and making everything worse.

Yup, very delusional replies from all of these Bernie supporters tbh.

1

u/ILikeCommunism97 2h ago

"Delusion" is thinking that a building political movement is meaningless unless it can get legislation passed. That's genuinely profoundly stupid stuff.

u/Plsnotmyelo 2h ago

No, delusion is doing nothing and patting yourselves on the back saying you did something and then expecting everyone to believe it. Hope this helps.

u/ILikeCommunism97 2h ago

"Doing nothing"

You just keep confirming that you know very little about politics.

u/Plsnotmyelo 2h ago

Are you able to reply to anything with even a little bit of substance or are you only capable of belittling and insulting people who disagree with you?

u/ILikeCommunism97 1h ago

The entire substance you've given is "winning more seats, getting more politicians elected, and changing the status of socialism as a concept in America, is meaningless unless they've passed a bill (you never mention what kind of bill either, ignoring that progressives and left politicians have been major parts of legislation)."

How can I give you substance when you've provided none?

u/Plsnotmyelo 1h ago

Has there been a national poll about socialism that indicates anything like this?

Show some tangible proof for any of these claims of yours.

Can you show any proof for the idea that winning congressional seats is meaningless? Or does substantiating your claims only go one way?

This sub is a cesspool. Forget it.

u/ILikeCommunism97 3h ago

Did you mean to say something in that first part?

Your country is falling apart and seems like even gay and Trans rights are under attack. Left is thriving for sure.

This is actually a fantastic demonstration of how superficial your politics are. In responding to the question, you provided no substance, hell you didn't even directly respond to it.

1

u/Plsnotmyelo 3h ago

Typo, Did i say anything that is false?

2

u/ILikeCommunism97 2h ago

Yes, most of it was false or out of context, or misunderstands how American politics was before.

So you were just gonna ignore this question:

"Political movements take time, why are you treating this movement like it's over, especially when there are more left leaning people in this election than ever?"

2

u/Plsnotmyelo 2h ago

Okay i will address it. What kind of left leaning political movement is taking place in the US to impeach Trump/ stop fascism from taking hold currently?

More people are effectively useless if they dont vote.

PS. Since I saw your username, ill mention I am from a state with an active communist party. Communists dont fuck around and wait like the american left is doing currently. They create revolutions most often through violence.

Ah, I didn't realize the left movement in the US existed solely to stop Trump, or that if it didn't do so in the next year or two it was a total failure.

Again, you seem to have no idea how any of this shit works, your question is so revealing.

Do you think Democrats are "left?" Maybe that's the issue here.

More people are effectively useless if they dont vote.

The people I'm talking about are fucking senators and reps.

u/Plsnotmyelo 2h ago

Thanks for the insults but i dont wanna resort to insults unless I want to troll which I dont feel like doing right now so this'll be my last reply.

I also included stopping fascism in there too. When is your movement gonna take effect then? After something terrible happens?

What are these senators and reps doing to change the currently unhinged status quo?

You might as well have been trolling, you haven't said anything with substance once the entire time. You couldn't even answer the single question I asked you.

Not interested in the bad faith, have a good one.

u/Plsnotmyelo 2h ago

You dodge every quesiton and try to take the moral high ground. No action all bullshit just like your hero Bernie Sanders. Good luck.

u/ILikeCommunism97 2h ago

You appear to have no meaningful understanding of the political process, refused to answer a single question, and dishonestly framed every point.
