I am VERY liberal, vote Democrat, support liberal policies (like free trade) and voted for Kamala.
And I 'got' Bitcoin immediately.
It is provably scarce, extremely difficult to make, and has enormous utility.
That's it.
I apologize for my sweeping statement about the 'left' not getting Bitcoin. I know plenty of people like you get Bitcoin and that Bitcoin is for everyone.
This anti-capitalist sentiment is just becoming so fashionable with some of the left-leaning folks I have spent time with that I am unable to comprehend how they say those things while wearing trendy clothes and accessories that they could never be in their grasp in a communist world.

Thanks for your comment. There are some 'generalizations'... about left and right that obscure the issues and dilute Bitcoin's mission sometimes. Bitcoiners should stand together... not use left/right political terms that divide us... when we should be standing together.
As far as the 'trendy anti-cap people...' the West opening up to China and its cheap labor has had enormous consequences for Western societies especially politically/economically. People respond to this in different ways.
Mr Trump is one outcome. So is Bernie Sanders. The folks you were talking to have just had one set of reactions?
