Who supports the radical left here?

Because yeah, if you believe all that bullshit you listed above, and don't understand the very real attack on our nation, nor how Trump is using it to trigger enough chaos he can get elected for 4 more years, I could see how that would scare someone into thinking you can politicize crazy.
The attack on your nation is the "bullshit" I listed above, and Trump is the result.

I'm not going to defend the right for burning the house down to kill the termites, but the far left has countered that strategy by copying it.

The politics in this forum looks left of center generally. Some far far left elements definitely, and every once in awhile some right of center. Haven't seen any far right since I've been here. Maybe some trolls.
I only consider myself 'left' because 'the right' planted it's flag in anti-human equality (mainly gay rights/women's rights/immigration) and allowing dogma into education where is the last place it belongs (unless someone wants to go get a religion degree anyways).

It is stupid to discuss things like science, economics, etc in terms of 'left' or 'right'. Because different situations/conditions are going to require many different actions.

How/Who is running on this that has been successful? Actual examples please.

How do you know they are actual people and not another troll?

Yeah, that seems correct. Center aligned people seem to be the more normal, it's when someone goes to one of the extremes that it gets ugly.

Lol, this should be good. Here comes the hypocrisy where the left denies there is a "radical" element in order to secure their votes they need to defeat the radical right, just like Trump refusing to admonish white supremacists for their support.

Radical left edicts:

1. Equity instead of equality.

2. "Critical race theory"

3. Anti free speech (cancel culture)

4. Believing that science is rooted in racism (calling for the abolition of STEM)

5. "Defunding" the police as the first step to social reform.

6. Excusing yourself of responsibility while using violence and intimidation as a means to an end.

I firmly and unapologetically support socialist and far left policy, but am principled enough to recognize radicalism when I see it, and not afraid to call it out.

Let the bashing begin!!!
Cancel culture has to be the worse part of the radical left. So many comedians have to put verbal disclaimers now before a show, just so people know they are joking. Like WTF?

Perhaps now is not the time for such a nuanced discussion of social issues, the current fight is not between the right and the left, it is between fascism and liberal democracy. Trump is running against the US constitution, not the left, but against the ethos of America. A more perfect union or any form of justice, social or otherwise is not possible under rule by the iron whim of Trump, it would be dystopia. They call them sociopaths for a reason, they fuck up any social situation, large or small.

Well if that’s the worst part of the radical left then what’s the problem?!

I’ve said before I voted for Reagan. I might have for ghwb but I forget what happened there.

I consider myself an average person who agrees with some from each party. However, the thing that makes me a democrat is the inequality/womens rights/gay rights/ human rights among a couple other issues.
I personally think only the left can call members of the left “radical” and vice versa. I think in this day and age the MOR folks get run over and lumped into categories which they don’t belong.

No you need to actually talk, not just give others opinions on that please. You have been here long enough I am willing to have a actual conversation with you and not a troll-off by chasing my tail without needing to focus on what you're saying.

How do you define 'Cancel Culture' and 'Radical Left'? Let's start there please.

My list of what radical left is, is posted above.

Cancel culture is the act of infringing on someone else's rights to self determination and personal responsibility because of self-righteous indignation.

How do you feel about someone canceling your personal choice to possess, produce and smoke your own marijuana on a federal level?

By 'infringing' what do you mean? I don't see how say taking a statue down is 'infringing' on your rights for example. Nor telling people that saying racist shit is 'racist' is that either.

And I already said that if that is what you consider 'radical left' it is a different definition than one I would use. You defiantly listed a lot of things I disagree with but don't associate it with anything other than mentally challenged people who most likely are brainwashed by the Russian militaries attack that Trump has allowed to continue.

I'd like to write a book on cancel culture but I'm supposed to be working lol. It boils down to labelling people as enemies because they made an insensitive comment, sometimes decades ago. So now we are supposed to shame them forever, no room for forgiveness. This guys explains exactly what it means to be a "cancel culture" person. It's insane to think that so many world elites are tied to child trafficking through Jeff Epstein, but we would rather give more attention and shame a comedian on an offensive joke.
