Poor one out for all your LGBTQ+ homies in America, they’re about to be hunted for sport.
Ah the progressive vote, never big enough to change a single policy for, just big enough to scapegoat all of their errors onto.
Look at exit polling and progressives are the most reliable Dem voting block…
Where you’re confused is that progressive policy also gets traditional non voters out to the polls.
So if someone only ever looks at the surface and doesn’t really understand American politics, I can understand why they’d conflate that with progressives never voting.
But that’s not what it is.
Look at 08 Obama, or even 92 Clinton.
We know what works, the DNC just refuses to let a candidate like that into the general.
Are you calling Bill Clinton a progressive? He’s the one that really put the DNC on their fast track to the right. he was playing from the same playbook as Tony Blair. He won in 92 because HW Bush reneged hard on his 88 campaign slogan of “No New Taxes”
In 1992 he was a young charismatic politician running on a progressive platform.
How he disappointed people while in office is important, but not really relevant when we’re just talking about how to win an election.
Clinton repealed glass-steagall setting the stage for the meltdown of 08 and what happened since (the exponential growth of the billionaire class) eventually leading to trump.
Obama made fun of a vindictive litte narcissist causing him to decide then and there to run for office. And did not nearly do enough with his wave of support, he was a true democrat… slow as fuck.
And then Biden, anemic response to the exponential rise of fascism under his watch… his legacy will be letting trump take over and not putting the boot on the project 2025 crowd.
I feel sorry for the 60 million Americans that voted against trump, but they need to realize they are surrounded by fascists and people that think it’s not important that their country is turning fascist… Same as in Germany in the interbellum.
Compare the occupation of Crimea to the Anschluss and the war in Ukraine like the split of Poland, china showing their muscles in asia and the state of the world is worrying… It feels like I was taught about this in school.
Like I said in the other reply:
The topic currently is how a Dem can win an election.
While it would be best to have an authentic progressive, at least one smart enough to lie (like Obama and Bill) would have beat trump.
