I asked them to clarify what Dems were conserving.

Wikipedia: Right-wing politics is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable…

They didn’t confirm that Dems are conserving ‘certain social orders and hierarchies’. Did they not confirm that because they’d immediately show themselves to be wrong? Or am I just so clueless about what right wing politics is that I am not worth educating?

      What’s wrong with being interested in American politics? Why are you being so rude? It looks like their first/only post in this community

        Samvega is in every single American politics post copy-pasting the same thing for hours every day. This is no where near their first time on Lemmy. They’re a known troll

    I thing what Democrats are conserving in simply the status quo of society.

    They want politics to be about electing a party with votes, districts

    They want banks to organize money.

    They want corporations to employ people.

    They want schools to be about preparing kids for work and freeing adults to do labor.

    They want the global appearance of their finances look good. (GDP)

    They want to be against war and violence except if it is in their own benefit.

    They want to not care about existential issues like climate change.

    I am not saying here that all of the above are overdue change but more and more appears fundamentally broken and there is no ambition for real change.

    Capitalism. And if someone is an anarchist, like me, the state. Those are the two biggest things. And capitalism is really the big kicker.
