    Agreed.

    It resonates with people because in recent years we’ve seen an uptick in conservative politics.

    The reality is that progressive vs conservative policies exist in a homeostatic relationship and there’s an ebb and flow as societal norms and the overton window wander around.

    The US electoral system is not representative. Wealthy donors have too much control. There are valid criticisms to be made of the Dems …

    … but ultimately it’s an absurdity to suggest that the democrats block movement back to the left. In the US if you want progressive policies implemented you need to vote Democrat. That’s it.

      Hell no what the shit? This thinking is why the US is going fascist. Voting democrat as a vehicle for change has been demonstrated to be a failed proposition.

        Sorry, I’m not going to engage with this argument.

        It was repeated ad-nauseum in the lead up to November 6.

        All points have been made and re-iterated.
