    The real left is much more like Europe than what the democrats do in America. Our Overton window has been rocketing right for 40 years and now apparently I’m an anarchist or something for wanting more from my government like actually taxing rich people and actually then using that money on healthcare education and housing, employment rights, and other social programs.

    Vote blue no matter who means we are always compromising to the center which means we are always moving more right. The very fact that we aren’t getting a primary and voting for basically a cop after years of acab has my skin crawling. Am I voting for her, yes. But to be told to shut up and be happy about it and having any other vocal opinions is absolutely horse shit.

          There was very obviously no time for an open primary this election. Now talk about literally every single other election in recent history.

              This may blow your mind, but France is an entirely different country from the US, with an entirely different structure of government.

                  moving our system of government to be more like that one

                  So now you’re talking about a Constitutional convention, which is a whole different pipe dream.
