There is quite a difference between nationalism and patriotism. All I’m asking for is as a leftist it’s very difficult to be taken seriously by average Americans because of our perceived “anti American values”. Whenever socialist policy in the U.S. has been passed before, for example the New Deal, it was framed as patriotic. We as leftists need to stop with the anti American rhetoric it’s hurting our legitimacy among average people. That’s what I’m saying.
