>>2589768Damn, sucks to be you. still, Platner sucks and I feel the only reason the American left supports him is because they're desperate to get universal healthcare in the US by any means necessary as a result of decades of shame over the US not having it
>>2589756political discourse on reddit - at least among reddit liberals, including socdems/demsocs; idc about right-wing redditors - basically boils down to one of a few things:
1. American redditors going "omg, America sucks! I just learned Europeans have good public transportation, universal healthcare, a welfare state and good education unlike us stupid Americans! We wanna make everything more like Europe!!! I hate orange man and the republicans and everyone who voted for trump is evil and deserves what they get!"- in other words, they think Europe is the pinnacle of human society and don't think there's anything wrong with it or question aiming for anything beyond it
2. European redditors jerking themselves off over the above - "European here, why are burgers so inferior?" type shit
It's silly and unproductive. One side claims to be leftist but deep down they're basically just intensely self-hating burgers that want to move to Europe so they can become centrist European treatlerites, while the Euro-redditors are too self-absorbed and more treatlerite than they want to admit to themselves to do anything to actually push for meaningful resistance to the US outside of smug posturing, because it would mean having to break from the Marshall Plan-backed US support that makes their welfare states possible in the first place.
