People should be allowed to exist

Social programs aren’t communism

Edit:

I’ve changed my mind on this.

Let the DNC go full MAGA and when they lose, because they will lose, they get the heat and we can eject them forever. At least sit them in a corner.

Progressives, you fight if you want but I don’t believe the elections will be fair so it’s a win win for you.

      Looks like it to me.

      Moderates have done nothing but sell their America out for a seat at an empty table. How could anything good come from people who are currently in charge of the shit show called the DNC?

        We should really be discussing ways to take over the party, like the tea party did. I’ve been wondering why I’m so reluctant to register as a Democrat yet wanting to feel like a part of it I want to bend to my will

        Moderates have done a thousand times more good for America than progressives.

        Last progressive president was who, maybe JFK, and he didn’t even finish a full term.

          Moderates didn’t make trump regret jan 6th.

          Moderates didn’t prevent what’s happening to Ukraine right now.

          Moderates didn’t make net neutrality into law.

          Moderates didn’t legalize weed.

            The first two and last one moderates definitely tried but no one but moderates wanted to vote for Clinton so the conservatives got a majority in the SCOTUS and Trump got voted in the first time.

            As for stopping Israel, no one in the world including the progressives have done anything meaningful there.

              I’m just saying if moderates are the solution, and we’ve been leaning on moderates since 2016, how is the framework of our government falling apart?

                Last election people knew they had a choice between Donald Trump and status quo and eighty million people decided they didn’t give a fuck what happened.

                I’d say that is a pretty good reason why the government is falling apart.

                  So we agree that voters do not want status quo? Because that’s what moderates were offering.

                  Moderates were at the helm my dude. They marched out all their best friends. Dick Cheney. Liz Cheney. Mike Pence.

                  Biden is poster boy moderate. He even brought us famous legislation like:

                  Student loan debt being unforgiveable

                  War on drug shit to save us from the “super criminals”

                  I’m not saying moderates aren’t an important part of the GOP. Honestly they are sometime easier to be around. I just think they will appear pompous against a trump who is brilliantly an asshole and get creamed.

                    Biden was right, Obama was right. Socially left and economically right was used as a smokescreen.

                    Biden got one of the most progressive budget bills ever over the finish line. $800 billion dollars toward greening our infrastructure. You can’t blame him for not getting the green new deal passed, the mfer tried, it’s not his fault that 2 dems in the Senate nerfed it. Tried on student loan debt too, multiple times. The president is not a king.

                    Yes, his stance on Israel sucked, but Jewish people deserve to exist too. You can’t celebrate inclusion and then “to the river to the sea” a whole subset of people. Well I mean, I guess you can if you’re a hypocrite.

                    If you took all of the votes for Harris and gave them to the leading progressive candidate they still would have lost.

                    They’re a rounding error in democracy and the amount of change they’ve made reflects on that.

          Yeah, I know. He really just quit half way through.

          Oh, wait. He was ASSASSINATED.
