I'm somewhat known in these parts for aggression against conservatism aka degenerates, and tiresome as it may seem at times there's a certain method, which manifests in the rather altered dynamic of the forum. It's a pretty expectedly thankless task since degenerates obviously despise it, along with many democrats who've come to expect a certain rapport with their counterparts in the american political ecosystem.
Recently since the pickings have become thin with the right or perhaps just out of novelty, I've switched to dealing with democrats who're rather too comfortable with conservatism, in particular the GOP's racist element. As mentioned before in complete candor, this is the much harder nut to crack because political expedience expects party membership to stick together, even if liberals are worse at it.
Or in other words, if it were already unpopular enough to steal away the easy wins many democrats have come to expect in "educating" conservatives who're playing dumb, now I'm putting some of their own on notice. It's yet to be empirically determined how that turns out, but it's hardly met with less backlash than w/ degens.
Now to some degree this comes as no surprise, since political/cultural affiliation is often arbitrary; and much as liberalism and whatnot is taught in school, students don't take to it much as just end up mechanically reciting the lines. Or IOW, average folk who end up democrats or republican just act as circumstances expect, even if significant values often differ as a result.
The few who've made it to this point are prolly wondering what the point is, and how it relates to the title question. Well, the key bit to notice is I've been using the word democrat instead of liberal, because there's little doubt whether the enlightenment was better than the dark ages, but rather are american democrats really better than their counterparts.
To start, they're similarly expected to stick to a certain narrative, even if arguable more factual. They take criticism of that storyline and themselves about as well, which isn't very; and in general the same rules of party politics applies. Are there democrats here able to show how/why they're the more worthy party without defaulting to the usual PR line? Guess we'll see.
