    Leftist here. We'd like for this to happen to, but, liberals, the alliance has to mean more than just "you vote for the candidates we tell you, and then we immediately go back on even trying to pass progressive policies"
    And you if say that liberals don't do that, when's the last time you heard Joe Biden mention his public option?

    I'm a leftist who used to participate in a sketchy Discord full of people whose only motivation for change was anger. They refused to work with liberals and eventually decided to switch from being a primarily antifascist group to an explicitly anarchist group, and I ended up leaving when I grew out of anarchism. I've been saying for months that if we want to defeat fascism we need to all ally-- liberals, progressives, leftists, and friendly libertarians. Someone like Kyle, who's a great speaker and an overall amicable guy, is perfect to put this message out there.

      just remember at the end of the day its still social media. It's better than every other platform but people have false expectations of what "peak" social media is - as I've observed being on the platform for 2 months after basically getting off all social media for mental health reasons.
      It's definitely the most positive experience I've had with social media and I've had it since 2006 when I got to make a facebook account because I transferred to a school that allowed it, but I'm not under any impression that it's anything more than the best of alot of bad options. There's a honeymoon period going on with it now, and I've met some genuinely decent people on there and had some good conversations, but Ive started to see the narcissistic complaining that all social media is prone to.
      People should be aiming to try to be more social rather than get better social media, it should be an appendix to ones social life rather than the primary space.

      @@tannermclaughlin5001 For clarification by liberal I mean the center-left version. The host said he's a classical liberal which empirically speaking is a fascistic ideology.
      The problem with you leftists is that you obviously reject empiricism (which is itself a liberal epistemology). Empirical data shows that liberal societies are the ONLY ones that are free. As per empirical data socialist countries like China, North Korea, USSR etc etc etc are/were authoritarian. Do you believe in data? The apparent answer is no.
      Using empirical data, prove to me that leftists actually care about freedom? You made THREE posts and in none of them you even mentioned human rights, women's rights and LGBT rights which are all center-left liberal inventions. Not only that, center-left liberals also fought for workers' rights. Leftists didn't even invent workers' rights that you pretend to care so much about.
      The working class voted for Trump bcos working class people are conservative. If you actually listen to them you would know that they hate trans people more than they want workers' rights and welfare. This again shows why your leftist class reductionist analysis is wrong. They didn't vote for Trump bcos the Dems have abandoned the working class, the working class abandoned the Dems bcos of LIBERAL idpol which they call Marxist wokeism just to give liberalism a bad name by association.

    After reading through the Wikipedia article about liberalism, I have a much more nuamced view of liberalism and I agree that the liberal fundamentals (free speech, democracy, religious freedom,etc) are necessary for progress but we can't keep getting caught up in pushing free markets for corporations while limiting economic freedom for people.
    The left needs to push out neoliberalism from liberal ideology.

      "we can't keep getting caught up in pushing free markets for corporations while limiting economic freedom for people." What if I told you all of the limitations on personal economic freedoms have been pushed by unions and the socialist wing of the Democrats?
      It's true that in the past corporations on their own could and did all kinds of horrifically oppressive things, like company towns, but that has for the most part been outlawed. If that's where things stopped everything would have worked out, but then someone came along and started regulating companies to the point that only massive conglomerates that can afford to fight legal battles over every tiny little change could survive.

    What you do when you bend the knee to right wing framing on issues, is that not only you give them a point on the framing which is already wrong on the framing alone, but also you lose your own base instead of moving people to the booth to vote. You can't make people vote on republican light republicans won't vote for you. I see it in my own country, people don't want to vote for people that defend nothing.
    But i mean this is the never ending lesson real leftists not even talking far left, have to teach liberals on why fascism is a tool of the upper class to retain control and that you can't fight it with "i agree with those guyz!". Saddly for americans, Democrats learned nothing and they will offer another neoliberal idiot in 4 years.

It's not the common person who supports liberalism that is responsible for the greed and corruption of corporate Democrats. It is the political class and ultra wealthy that make liberalism so toxic. Leftists should be more supportive of liberals, not openly antagonistic. Common folks are still working class. Liberals tend to be well-informed and often well intentionned.

    To me the easiest way to get rid of gerrymandering is to just get rid of congressional districts and allow the voters of each individual state to select their representatives by proportional representation. Example: a state whose population gives it 10 seats in the house will have its seats divided depending on how many people vote for that party in that state. If it's a swing state that'd mean 4 or 5 seats for both the republican and the democrat, and maybe 1 seat for either/or the greens and the libertartians. If it's a lefty state, then 30% republicans would actually get 3 seats and an outright socialist party might get 1 seat in the house without the majority democrats being able to do anything about it, same for the reverse if the state leans conservative.
    Would break up the two-party system a bit too since at least some non-zero % of house members would be neither republicans nor democrats, and in a narrow house where neither side has a clear majority this would introduce the crazy radical incomprehensible idea of compromise and the need for maximum popular appeal to US politicians. Which is why they will fight to the death to keep something like this from being implemented, but if you want to permanently get rid of gerrymandering without leaving a way for bad actors to exploit it, then this is how I would fix it. Not at a national level for president or something, that'd do what conservatives always fear and make all politicans only care about the populated coasts of the country, but at the state level I really don't see the downsides of proportional representation. Republicans in California and Democrats in Nebraska would actually have a reason to vote during elections, since even if they know their party won't crack 50% every vote matters and could get their party one more representative in the house, which would increase turnout and engagement, which is good for a democracy period, so again, imho there really isn't any downside.

      @@wait_in_gold_ON_SPOTIFY That depends on the details. On the one hand, you can have it so that the parties running for seats in that state choose (by whatever means its members and leadership deem fair and reasonable) a list of candidates to publish so everyone can see who they'll be voting for, and on election day every voter simply fills in which of the available parties they want to vote for. If there's 10 seats up for grab each party will have 10 candidates named and if they win 60 percent of the vote then the first 6 people on that list get elected. Simple but yes you wouldn't be voting for individuals anymore. Alternatively, if you don't mind large ballots you can have all the candidates listed under each party on the ballot (this is what we do in the Netherlands, check out our huge ballots if you dare to) so you can specifically vote for a candidate representing a party if you want to, even if the party has but him or her at the bottom of the list. If the specific person you voted for didn't get enough votes then your vote counts towards that party in general like in the first example. That way you can still also campaign for an individual if you want to, on the understanding that it's also for the broader party if he or she doesn't reach the threshold to win a seat in their own right.
      Of course you can further add things like ranked choice voting and the like, but that gets a bit excessivly complicated in my opinion.

You can be a left liberal, a progressive liberal, a centrist liberal, or a conservative liberal (though they tend to now call themselves "classic liberals." Bernie Sanders is a liberal. He's also on the center-left. If your policies align with something close to the New Deal or Social Democracy, you're a liberal. Chances are, if you are on the left and you're not a communist, you're a liberal. Also, there is no meaningful "far left" in the US. People like The Squad, Bernie, and AOC are center-left.

Liberals are pro-capitalist, they believe the system is broken and it is possible for society to be functioning well with a more humanitarian breed of capitalism. Socialists, on the other hand, have read Marx and know that social democracy would be very difficult to achieve and impossible to sustain because, by nature, these forces contradict capitalism. We already saw this happen with FDR and the new deal era and what followed that-- neoliberalism. It isn't possible to reform capitalism in a long-term and sustainable way, it will always undo itself a la the ratchet effect. We need a new system entirely. It is a shame Kyle cannot see this. I wish he had a vaush style stream and engaged more with his audience so we could at least hear his response to these points.

      @ transitional libertarian socialism followed by communism is the alternative system and when I say communism I mean it in its pure form ie a stateless and moneyless society. Social democracy is failing on other countries because as we speak it is being undone and more and more European countries are turning into the US. Give it like 50 years or less. We are witnessing the rise of fascism globally. The only reason European countries are more progressive and socially democratic now is BECAUSE they were neighboring the Soviet Union and needed to keep people loyal to their side and not lose people to the Soviets. Because they knew how popular it is among the people. Now that the Soviet Union is gone social democracy in Europe is unraveling and one day will disappear entirely. I recommend reading Das Kapital by Karl Marx if you’re unclear on why capitalism is bad for humanity and needs to be supplanted. Marx is extremely exhaustive in his work, this one in particular (all volumes of Capital that is) pretty much covers it all, and I don’t think you will have any questions left once you’ve finished it.
