      I mean he’s the only president I’m aware of who just came out and straight called the fascists fascists, and didn’t backpedal when the fascists got mad.

        Yeah…

        That’s what everyone is complaining about.

        And why everyone is more upset at the people running the national party who refuse to let Americans have a primary.

        The ones who are willing to say “if you dont vote for this 80 year old who lied to you four years, have fun with trump!”.

        Do t worry tho, progressives will do what we always do and vote for the lesser evil.

        Doesn’t mean we have to pretend we like it

          Progressive candidates lose elections, which is rather the problem here. There aren’t as many of you as your online circles would have you believe

            By that logic since world peace hasnt been achieved, we need to give up.

            That climate change is still happening, so fuck doing anything about.

            That a wealthy ruling class has always existed so it always will.

            That children dying of hunger is part of life and we just need to move on.

            Is that really the outlook of “moderates”?

            If something is bad, just accept it. Nothing will ever improve so stop trying

            It really explains a lot

              This is a nonsensical interpretation of what I’ve said. If you lose elections, you don’t get a say in how the country runs. Progressives aren’t popular, and suggesting the system is rigged rather than piss-poor communication and outreach among progressives (combined with a total unwillingness to compromise and the fiery rhetoric that entails) is the reason why.
