when you are so "left" you think liberals are leftist.

Neoliberalism is a right wing ideology, hate to break it to you. There is no left in 2024 America.

You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

No, they just put out social messaging that tries to convince people they are. "I love women and minorities" type shit that's paper-thin. If you look at their policies, business models, and campaign donations, it paints a very different story.

Most companies are cutthroat free-market capitalists (and therefore right-wing by definition), because that's what makes money and they have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.

No company will support regulations on its industry, which is what "the left" broadly wants to do.

So we really just cycled all the way back to "The Left" being a dogwhistle in antisemitic conspiracy language again huh?

Trump said they'd be to blame if he lost and this pops up not even a week later.
