The new WVU budget slashes nearly 10 percent of majors and 7 percent of all faculty—but students and staff aren't going down without a fight.

    Liberals already make it very clear that they aren’t left wing, do you think barely-regulated capitalism is a left wing position? Do you think constant warmongering is a left wing position? They’re garbage at actually doing anything concrete besides spending money on weapons.

    Sounds like you like cheering for blue team though.

      Only hexbears know this. Lol. If you ask any righty on the street “are you liberal” they’ll say “hell no I ain’t no commie democrat. “

      And when most people say “own the lib” it’s usually meant to mean lefties.

      So use whatever words you like, but successful communication is more important than proper vocabulary.

          Back to those communication skills.

            I tend to communicate with direct action, rather than trying to sway people materially aligned against me with words.

            It’s one thing to say you support things and vote, it’s another to actually show up to organize and fight for those things.

                I’m in a communist party, I do local organizing, get people out on picket lines, run food distributions.

                I do other stuff that I would not post about online as well.
