The American people deserve better. Liberalism deserves to die or just admit its part of the Republican Party.

Liberals do one thing great - take credit for things they were against when it was happening.

The historical inaccuracy on display is shocking. We need a lot less of whatever this slop is, not more.

So, the real left has been suggesting fact based solutions for ages.

"Economic interdependence" didn't make america wealthy, it made your corporate overlords wealthy. It made us weak and incompetent and unable to afford the basics like food and housing. You're not going to save liberalism with this koch brothers nonsense.

What are y'all gonna stand for? Your video shows earlier fights for suffrage, for the new deal, against poverty--those were radical, populist fights for their time. What will be your equivalent to that now?

Oh look The Atlantic needs a rebrand because too many people found out it’s a publication run by an ex IDF Jewish supremacist prison guard

Liberalism today means censorship and support for endless wars. This whole video is vague word salad slop. Try standing for something.

"Liberals used to stand for things" Hey... Progressives still stand for things!! We're the ones who keep talking minimum wage, paid leave, universal healthcare & childcare, free college & trade school, getting big money out of politics. But liberals told us to slow our roll. Change incrementally. Our ideas have been here all along. If you want to be a voice of "the left" then make sure you platform the more lefty perspectives too.

Pretty sure you just demonstrated that liberalism is a vanity project for the people who have power to maintain it through an allegiance to capital over people. We see your genocide & know you for what you are, the Clintons and Obamas and Bidens of the world: corrupt bootlickers.

Here's an argument: Historically, liberals fought tooth and nail against all these things! You may be confusing liberals with leftists

What a coincidence, I've been spending the last week doing a long thread looking into the ideological basis for Jerusalem Demsas' work (for Michael Schellenberger, for example). Maybe folks should take a look before they start reading The Argument
Apparently @JerusalemDemsas is starting a new neoliberal publication backed by the same Tyler Cowan whose paper, "The Public Choice theory of John C. Calhoun" I linked to above. jstor.org/stable/40751557 Great timing, because this whole section is based on her appearance on Conover

American history, if anything, is an excellent example of how rarely self-proclaimed liberals have been the ones fighting for liberal values.

Who on earth will read/watch this? The MSNBC crowd is thinning and dying.

We have to fight against liberals to get all these things because we always have. MLK wasn't popular with liberals and after the New Deal, liberals have been running away from that type of far left agenda since Carter. If you believe in these things so do I. You aren't a liberal.

Y'all have a shit definition of what "Liberalism" is, you're acting like it's not a pro-capitalist ideology used to excuse income disparity and lessening the welfare state. The only good things Liberals have ever done is because Progressives forced them.

"liberalism" as you dipshits intend deserves the dustbin of history

Liberals are useless because they can't even promote masking in the middle of a pandemic. There are very simple things that liberals can do to be the bastions of morality they wish to be seen as, but refuse to do so because it doesn't align with capital. Hope that helps everyone.

Will The Argument have any writing on liberalism’s pov on foreign policy? It has a pretty poor track record on that so far
