You can just say "Democrats", no need for a qualifier.
No, there are many progressives and socialist leaning people in the Democratic party.
Not in leadership, where it matters.
Sure, there are lots of progressive voters, and even a few token reps. It doesn't matter, window dressing for the defenstration.
Fair enough, of course the US government has literally never listened to the people which is statistically provable. What is worse is most nations are about the same.
Problem is Americans don't turn over incumbents before the wealthy corrupt them or their peers assimilate them into the political class.
The only path forward for US to remain a functional democracy is to primary sitting democrats at a rate faster than they can be corrupted.
Really we need a system that doesn't use popular vote to determine representation. Even with good safety rails it eventually turns into an oligarchy which has happened to every major democracy.
I would even argue that democracy itself is just a window dressing around the world for the ruling class.
We already know you're an enlightened centrist dude. No need to elaborate.
Did your mom raise you to be a twat or is it just your decision?
Mom raised me to read above the 5th grade level.
Independent for 30+ years just means you're old enough to have lead poisoning in your brain.
Is that the best you can do? You really are a pathetic fascist in denial.
I'm fascist for telling you that the DNC simp for billionares and Americans should primary them?
OK lead head.
No you are a fascist because you live in a fascist country and you are in denial. Maybe you should get mom to change your dirty diaper so you stop stinking up the place.
wow lol. Crash out harder please. Sorry I hit the nerve that enjoys the sound of your own voice.
The fact that you use "Dirty Diaper" when Mark Twain famously compared politicians to dirty diapers tells me that I'm on point with your reading comprehension.
blush What voice do you read my comments aloud in?
You hit a brick wall a long time ago and must of missed the TBI you received. Cheers!
