    But it isn’t and I must vote for them to prevent the US from becoming A Handmaid’s Tale. 😭

      Whenever someone like you speaks out it’s abundantly clear that none of you will understand that people don’t vote more progressive because they don’t agree with your ideas. You’ll keep on pushing extremists views and continue with rhetoric that makes the average voters eyes roll so far back into their head they might become unstable and fall over backwards.

      Pragmatic politics are dead replaced by ideology and a refusal to meet in the middle.

        I can’t imagine being so braindead as to blame progressives for not meeting in the middle with literal anti democratic christo-fascists.

        You’re right. It’s actually just our fault that we want the country to not be a shithole.

          Yes because everyone who believes that capitalist policy mostly works and want minor changes is christo-fascist.

          Thank you for driving my point home.

            Wanting social programs and a safety net is branded as communism by a lot of the supposed left. Socialism can exist in a capitalist system.

              I agree. However many, like the above comment, show how folks like to lump the extreme right, and the center right together.

              I never made any comment on policy. I said oc is proving my point. When I say progressive extremists are just as unwilling to compromise with the center, and they respond by lumping everyone in as fascist christians.

        The US Democrats are basically the conservative of any other EU countries. There are progressives among them but they are often fed to the wolves and sold as a nuisance by their own party. Think AOC and other justice dems.

          Jesus Christ. Tell me where I said that? What the fuck does Europe have to do with being pragmatic about what people in the US actually vote for?

        The entirety of the rest of the western world is more left leaning than US politics. The Dems are center right in any other country. The only reason for that is decades and decades of capitalist propaganda programming the electorate. An electorate that when asked about specific issues is largely much more open to leftist solutions than the bought politicians they vote for.

        What a fascist troll. All that in response to me saying the DNC isn’t progressive enough. You’re actually unhinged dude. You don’t know the first thing about my politics. Calm the hell down.

          Thank you once again for driving the point home. It’s comical how easy it is.

          Everyone left of the DNC is a fascist troll. I’m sure you’ll get so so many people to vote your way acting like that.
