    See, this is the sort of shit folks are talking about when they say both parties are the same.

      Absolutely not. Criticize things like this is correct but this does not equate to a coup, banning abortion and gender care. Don’t give ammo to a shit takinge point.

        You need to be addressing this complaint to the Democratic party officials in this story who are doing that. The Republicans didn’t start off with a coup, they started with years of lesser voter suppression/democracy undermining methods that escalated to a coup when they got backed into a corner, but it’s been the same basic “to hell with the voters, we want power” thinking the whole time, and that’s the exact same kind of thinking Dems are engaging in here.

        I get what you’re saying, but “liberal progressive” is an oxymoron. Progressivism is center left/left while neoliberalism is center right/right.

        Not everything to the left of fascism is left of center.

          There is a difference between liberal and neo-liberal. Blankets never used “neo” in their comment.

            Modern liberals such as the ones in charge of the Dems are neoliberals though, so it’s a distinction without consequence.

          Hear hear. Liberal progressivism that’s more concerned with privatizing social welfare and forcing everything to be a market based solution than doing good is doomed to fail. We need socialist/anti-capitalist progressivism or we’re just going to give away a bunch of taxpayer money to oligarchic assholes and still have most of the same problems.

      Didn’t DC politicians also reverse a ballot initiative that succeeded requiring restaurants to pay staff a full wage?

      They don’t give a shit about what people actually want.
