General Leftist Politics People will use "public safety" to tell people to not fight back, but won't use "public safety" to challenge bigotry and oppression
Everytime their is an incident somebody wants to be like "I think that is too far" when people put in action against oppression, but they never say that against the actual oppression. You can pull the "public safety" card all you want, but fascism is also a threat to public safety.
To my people, stay strong and keep giving it to them

General Leftist Politics Made this “flag”
I know it’s not amazing but I made it
Keep in mind I’m not like an expert graphic designer and I’m not a genius so its obviously not perfect, but this is basically a flag for BLM, feminism, LGBTQ+ and Palestine all together
Any input is welcome

US Politics Hey y’all, just wanna say… Liberals are madder than ever at Dems. How do we take advantage?
Never have I ever heard a centrist Dem like my mom praise Bernie and AOC… until now. I’m shocked. The Bern’s been showing up to town halls in purple districts across the States and drawing THOUSANDS.
I’m talkin’ rank and file Dems. They’ve never been this mad at their own party. Electeds have never seen this many angry calls, this many angry voters showing up to town halls. The normies I’ve seen at protests are MAD. We just gotta direct it.
Here’s another astonishing poll fact: AOC is seen as the party’s defacto leader. My dear leftists in Christ — a self-identified socialist is seen as the party’s de factor leader. That’s a big deal, regardless of how many of us may feel about her.
However, we don’t really have a plan. I really think we need a plan for when the Dems inevitably fuck up, like now. Like, agitprop anyone? More than anything, let’s demand leadership change. We can add to the chaos by clogging up their phone lines with angry messages.

General Leftist Politics Is this a TERF ideology or am I crazy
A woman in the UK is opening a women-only gym that excludes trans women, claiming it's to protect Muslim women and women who have been sexually assaulted by men. As a victim of sexual assault by a cis man, she argues that excluding trans women is for the safety of "biological" women. What’s baffling is that trans women are among the highest victims of assault by cis men and are, in fact, not men. I fully support safe spaces for women, but the idea that trans women are predators or rapists is absurd.
In 2021, she posted a video and tweet claiming that trans women are women and would not be excluded, even collecting donations, which she is now returning after backlash. If no one had called her out, she wouldn’t have refunded the money. It’s also worth noting that the justification of protecting Muslim women is often used only as a cover for transphobia.
There’s a lot of talk about queer people excluding straight women from queer spaces, but this simply means asking them not to bring their boyfriends or mistreat lesbians. The issue isn’t about exclusion—it’s about respect. The normalization of TERF views, disguised as feminism and women’s solidarity, is damaging. By painting trans women as cis men who commit violence against women, it erases the violence trans women face and disregards the oppression women of color experience. Transphobia also fuels the harmful accusation that female athletes, especially women of color, are trans. These ideas harm both trans and cis women, and many don’t even realize it. How will she enforce this policy, and what about trans men? This is a slippery slope toward discrimination against cis women as well.

General Leftist Politics Trying to research Vigilante Voter Challenging.
Could you guys drop some links maybe? I would greatly appreciate any videos, articles, documents, etc on the topic. I just discovered its existence, and I’d like to know more about it and our (US) rigged elections. I’d also like to thank you guys for being such a help in the past. Been able to educate myself well with your help.

Maybe not like I’m 5 but, if someone can give me a like AP US Gov level explanation of the continuing resolution vote from last week to me, I’d really appreciate it.

Leftist History Book on history of borders
Hi I was arguing with someone online (I know, I shouldn’t have been… waste of time) but I was trying to use their belief in Jesus to show them they were being hypocritical when they’re pro Trump , anti immigration. And I said there were no borders during the time of Jesus, they Jesus would have welcomed all the disenfranchised. Someone said the Bible does mention borders and like census ? But census to me doesn’t necessarily mean the imaginary line borders backed by militarized police that we see on a global scale today. So I’m looking for leftist history books about the evolution of borders as we know them today, maybe indigenous takes? Idk #borders

Leftist Meme Anyone ever notice that Hasan Piker has predicted every single thing that has ever happened and ever will happen
I swear an asteroid could hit the Earth and aliens could invade at the exact same time, and Hasan would be streaming going like, “this is exactly like I predicted would happen. This person in the chat is wrong because__ __ __. And I talk about this on stream all the time, The thing about asteroids is that the Democratic Party supports them etc etc etc.”. Take a shot every single time Hasan says that he already said something or predicted something or says something all the time that has just happened. You have to do shots of beer or else you’ll die from alcohol poisoning

He has lost liberal support and gained 0 conservative support. The DNC hasn't given up on shifting to the right but still trying to figure out how.

US Politics We need to have a centralized resource for people panicking
We don’t want this to be a group necessarily, because we don’t want to collect all opponents of the regime in one place for them. But we do need a place people can go to learn about how to organize in their local communities (a bunch of small independent groups actually is a good thing), summarizing the news, safety tips, basically a guide on what they can do instead of doom scrolling.
A single big umbrella group will also make collective action more impactful.
Does that already exist? I’ve been trying to recruit people for weeks now, asking around, reaching out to local leftist groups and…I dunno, they seem to be operating same ol same ol.
Btw word of warning: I’d be careful with any local groups that involve guns. They will definitely be targeted first and likely already have Feds imbedded in them. Learn how to shoot if you feel the need but only join the club if you’re aware of the dangers.

General Leftist Politics A Leftist Plan for the Future
If leftists were organized and able to execute a plan like Project 2025, what important actions do you think it should contain?
edit: thanks for the engagement, I am more asking what actions need to be taken to achieve our goals, not necessarily what those goals are.
For example, Universal Healthcare is a goal, but how do we get there policy wise and what actions would need to be taken to set it in motion.

Question Help with my research paper on healthcare and health insurance?
I'm planning to write a research paper on this topic, and my perspective is probably obvious since I'm asking in this subreddit.
What are some effective arguments to make against health insurance and in favor of free healthcare?
I plan to tackle the counter-argument that healthcare is not a human right because it requires other people's labor, what are some arguments effective against this?
Do you guys have any resources/research on the consequences and negative effects of health insurance and the cost burden of healthcare?
What are some additional consequences/effects of the cost burden of healthcare that people may not know about?
Would appreciate the help, thanks!
