They walk the walk and then a legion of disingenuous assholes claim otherwise all over the media in a bid to dissuade progressive voters.
If they walked the walk, they'd have an easier time getting elected and staying elected. If they walked the walk, they wouldn't have let Republicans walk all over them for the past few decades. If they walked the walk, they wouldn't have allowed the country to inch frighteningly close to fascism.
I'm all for voting for progressives. We need progressives. We need progressives that will actually do progressive things. Sitting here and acting like the current status-quo-loving DNC is actually super progressive because of some bullet points on their website is not going to get us there though.
You can't simultaneously hold the stances that the system is corrupted by campaign funds and also that people only rationally vote based on candidate's policies. Those a mutually exclusive beliefs. If everyone voted on policy and not optics via the media and socials, then campaign funding would have zero impact.
Dems platform is amazing, full of necessary reform and life saving changes, and taxing the fucking rich.
Serious question - is the DNC paying you to say all this? Is the DNC in the room with you right now?
Ah so now you're just saying things, cool
I don't see any points to argue
Which is wild, you've been incredibly adept at coming up with things to argue against this whole thread
Are you seriously trying to last-word me? Lol pathetic. Go right ahead though, if that's what will soothe your ego or whatever
