No,

I think we've decided this. The left (rightfully) hates the Democrats.

Yes, but I hate Trump more.

Man, how fucking right wing do you need to be to consider liberalism to be left wing?

Any "left" that doesn't promote human rights can fuck right off back to the dictatorship it came from.

I don't call tankies "left".

Americans sometimes use the two words to mean the same thing. So in that context it's not as confusing but when they're speaking with non-Americans it can cause issues and clearer terminology would be nice

Most European countries have an (actually) liberal party; the one in Germany used to have its place between social democrats and conservatives, but has moved way to the right in recent years.

Do not split.

But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.

And when they are, that’s going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it’s going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we’re not going to criticize them openly, and they’re not going to criticize us openly.

If we’re the pacifists, we’re not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don’t know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we’re not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.
