I understand not listening to liberals. I try not to listen to them whenever possible, but Trump is obviously worse than them, in essentially every way.
It’s like people have this natural tendency to support whoever stands in opposition to the people they don’t like, regardless of whether or not they are any better. Like people think, “hmm, I don’t really like liberals, and this Trump fella says he doesn’t like liberals either, therefore he must be good.” You can’t do a little more critical thinking thank that?

She doesn’t mean liberal in the economic sense, she means liberal/progressive in social sense.
Probably one of those douchebags that will let fascism creep in because they refuse to take any action until a magical third party that agrees with them on EVERYTHING appears.
I’d say democratic socialism falls under the general progressive/liberal banner in American political parlance, although admittedly that’s just because our system is designed to funnel most every view into one of the two buckets.
The only democratic socialist in mainstream politics I still listen to is Bernie Sanders. Most every other demsoc doesn’t have anything to say that I find all that worth listening to. There are some demsocs in the media or online who I still listen to, but they are relatively few and far between.

Well, I’m not personally interested in listening to either.
Who are you interested in listening to?

Certain socialists, mostly.

And there’s not going to be until people who want to vote more left actually vote to elect the leftmost candidate they can.
Apparently if you go too far left, you wrap around to being poorly educated again and cannot get past simply ideas like the no true scotsman fallacy.
Being able to declare one single person as the true scotsman is our clue that they mistake for their observance.
