When they say left wing

- I just want to clarify, is this calling OP a tankie? (And if so, what am I missing)
  
  Nothing, lemmy world thinks anyone who says democrats are not the left is a tankie. It's like maga claiming everything is woke. Neither group actually knows what that word means any more, they just know they can use it as a pejorative against outside groups.
- Cool. She's not a fascist, but she isn't leftist either. Meming about it won't change it.
  
  Only right wingers calls her a leftist though. And meant as a slur.
I've been told people don't know what I would classify as since my "manifesto" revolves around government structure as opposed to ideological vision of society.
- Structure as in policy, or as in the actual framework of the system? In either case, it makes you more thoughtful on politics than almost anyone you’ll see posting about the topic online.
  
  Porqué no las dos?
  
  I've got your system of government I've got a method to prevent jurisdiction shopping and I've even got tax policy and reformed laws about using legal rights for the purpose of segregative action, IE using the threat of disownment as a tool to coerce a child out of marrying a person who's gender or class or religion or ethnicity you disaprove of.
  
  I mean shit look at my profile, the most recent original post is literally the rewrite of the US constitution I did.
A lot of anti Harris shit being spread on lemmy lately. Musk pay y'all too?
- I would say it is more pro Marx than anti Harris. Or pro AOC if you want to be US centric
  
  I'm all for that after the election.
Political spectrums are relative to the state being referenced, the time being discussed, and the scope of the given conversation. They are also idiosyncratic and not only on one or two axes.

This is all, of course, too complicated for the average “politically knowledgeable” online slacktivist.
I'm sure all of this anti-Harris sentiment will continue going (and even increase) directly after election day, right?
I’d never hope Harris were a clueless leftist. My god. Who would want that?
- ...Are you calling Marx clueless or am I tweaking right now?
  
  Probably
Above or below the shoulder joint?
