    I’m saying if you want progress, then give Dems overwhelming and consistent victories.

    You need to twist that to ‘lest we be fascist dictatorship’. We’ll see what happens after Trump, if the Republicans continue on that path. But whether they do or don’t, we’re back to progress and if you want progress.

      I posits that Democrats are not the party of progress as long as they ignore progressives.

      Im politically homeless.

        They can’t be progressive when they keep losing any of the 1) House of representatives, 2) Senate, or 3) Presidency. You want progress? Give them all 3 consistently and overwhelmingly.

          So literally what I said, we have to win overwhelming super majorities and every single branch where there’s no hope for the country. Got it, untenable.

            Well you want to keep turning this to “no hope”, down from “fascist”. Turn this around, do you want progress? That’s what it is progress.

            Untenable? Dude, votes decide this. Voting is simple. This is simple.

            Seems very much like you want to decide it’s “untenable” so that you can give up, excuse yourself from not voting, and (here’s the kicker) then bitch online.

              The ironic part is I live in a Ruby Red State. Thanks to the Electoral College, my vote literally does not matter. So frankly, if I want to throw it away in protest, that’s my right.

                  The idea was to pressure the neoliberal class into enacting change. They seem like they don’t want to do it.

                  Hell, they don’t even put on the appearance of wanting to do it once they do get in power.

                    “I’m going to bitch online while refusing to do anything”.

                    They seem like they don’t want to do it.

                    Again, give Dems overwhelming and consistent victories.

                    Hell, they don’t even put on the appearance of wanting to do it once they do get in power.

                    Now you’re sticking your head in the sand. Biden is doing a fuckton. He’d do even more if, guess what, he had the house and was polling so well that he could figure there no chance of losing.
