It’s hard to say, but it would seem since Trump was elected more disenfranchised liberals who might never have considered socialism before are swinging further to the left in responce to this “Dooms Day Scenario” they thought could never happen actually happening
Is the American Left growing in the wake of Trump?
Good, and in response - and equal amount of people will also swing right.
Fuck knows but more people support Dems in general.
More like the vocal miniority is getting louder. More leftists are abandoning politics as more focus comes to identity politics. Don't get me wrong, they will still call Trump and idiot but they don't care to vote at all
I found my self a new newsfu...
Nah just the same faggots as before, just crazy loud. The left isn't growing, its shrinking
Yes and that's a good thing.
At this point if you think things can be salvaged you haven't being paying attention.
Accelerationism is the only logical position
The country is left wing on nearly every topic.
>Gun control
>Taxing the wealthy
>Fighting climate change
>Gay marriage
The list goes on. The majority of Americans support these things. Trump won simply because Hillary was awful. And even still here didn't win the popular vote.
and fuck white people!
No. What you are observing is just a part of the influence that the internet has in acting as a megaphone for small groups. There aren't anywhere near as many neo-nazis and pagan socialists as you might think from the noise emanating from the internet.
If anything, the left is atrophying because it had a few decades to prove that it could create something functional and delivered the opposite. It won't be until the right proves to be just as useless that they get another chance at running countries.
They will have to wait at least a decade for john smith to forget how much he hates swarthy foreigners screaming at him.
Literally no one on here cares that Spencer got punched tho....
>1 post by this ID
>is everyone in my echo chamber?
No
You watch too much television. The destruction of Hollywood, CNN, NY TImes, NFL etc has turned the intelligent critically thinking Dems against their own party.
The DSA expanded from a pittance of 5,000 contributing members to over 25,000 in the first 6 months after the election. It’s still an incredibly small number, but that’s rapid growth. It looks to me like the left wing version of the Tea Party
I think you may be wrong - but go back to watching CNN

>is everyone in my echo chamber?
Nah, but I like to hang out in yours
Maybe if your a coastal faggot. Here in Vegas many of us are keeping our guns and are pissed that the feds are killing us.
Yes, and the right to. The socialisation of america under Obama has been sucefull at dividing the country and now you have separate people, what used to be the same, going their way, this will lead to nothing but trouble
Hillary lost because the states gave victory to Trump. One of the schemes of the democrats, like many other socialists is concentrating people in urban areas to be easier to control, like king Louis xiv did with Versailles, thereby imposing their morality and laws in other states
It's shrinking pretty hardcore. When you've got lefty comedians being booed off stage, Hollywood crashing, and California getting even crazier about alienating itself from the rest of the country, you're not winning.
A small minority is becoming more radicalised. Ie. Weather underground. Democratic party is dead.
You believe the election was decided because the state was influancing opinions in urban centers, and not because Hillary was a shit candidate and because of republican gerrymandering? You also believe Louis XIV was a socialist?
>socialization
Socialism is the abolition of profit and private property. That's what Lenin is referring to. Communism is socialism without a state.
Obama is a corporatist owned by private companies and profit interests, he's strongly anti-socialist.
>Implying i said anything about taking away people's guns
Why are right winger always so triggered by the gun debate? No one wants to take away guns.
That's got a lot more to do with the left fragmenting than organizing. They suffered a catastrophic loss and people on that side of the fence are walking away from the core party and joining splinter groups.
That would be the opposite of a consolidating force.
no. liberals are just throwing a hissy fit because trump won. in a similar way that a baby would act when it doesnt get what it wants
liberals have been continuously going further left long before trump
That’s why it’s reminding me so much of the Tea Party. In the wake of Obama there was a huge surge in interest in far right politics. The Tea Party influenced policy and ended up reshaping the direction the Republican Party has gone in.
Mate your pretty fucking retarded if you think you can gerrymander state lines to give yourself electoral college votes.
Anyways if Trump gets voter ID laws put in place there won't be a popular vote loss next election.
Thats because each group actually wants the same thing. Demographic superiority. It was ours by right of conquest though so they will have to kill us if they want it.
>communists getting paid for their work
Fucking hypocrites
Why do socialists, always want you to give them money?

>Socialism? I thought this was capitalism!

Way more people
>Mate your pretty fucking retarded if you think you can gerrymander state lines to give yourself electoral college votes.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you don’t understand how our elections actually work. No, you can’t gerrymander state lines, but you don’t need to. You look at a population map and redistrict individual counties so your side comes out on top and win that way.
Chapo Trap House LARP harder than TRS.
picturesque specimens truly the pinnacle of human achievement
Socialism does mixed economy, Lenin said true comunism can only be built after proletarian dictatorship
>You believe the election was decided because the state was influancing opinions in urban centers, and not because Hillary was a shit candidate and because of republican gerrymandering?
Come on now, who was Obama shilling for, what are gibs?
> You also believe Louis XIV was a socialist?
No, but he is a role model in statism and lavish state constructions
I'm American I just happen to be in the UK
I know how gerrymandering works but you blamed the election on gerrymandering, you can blame district seats and counties won on gerrymandering but not the general election.
>2 numales
>ugly chink bitch that either fucked all of the dudes in the pic or cucked them
>a jew
Lmao look at this retard.
Gerrymandering works for areas where districts matter. Statewide election issues can't be gerrymandered. No matter what district you live in, that's 1 Hillary vote for Iowa and 8 Trump votes for Iowa from the rest of your family.
All 4 of them put together could almost grow a respectable beard
If you redistrict enough specific counties within a state, it turns what would be a blue state into a red one and swings the electoral college vote. This isn’t hard to understand . If it was they wouldn’t have done it.
No it fucking doesn't, which way states go in a general election aren't decided by how many counties you win it's by popular vote per state.
How come you americans are always debating how gerrymareding works? Shouldn't you all be informed about your elections?
>disenfranchised liberals who might never have considered socialism before
Where are they? Is that even a demographic that exists? Seems to me they all favored the redistribution of wealth enacted by an ever-more authoritarian government to begin with, so what's the difference? That now they're disgruntled enough they're willing to call themselves 'socialist'?
Not really a big change.
This is the thing the blue team has such bad cognitive dissonance about. You can't possibly conceive in a world where your ideology is rejected. However, it has been soundly rejected as since Obama's midterms. Even if you want to throw Hillary under the bus you can't deny the sweeping red tide since he took office and people really found out what he was about beyond campaign slogans.
