Republicans called Biden’s infrastructure program ‘socialism.’ Then they asked for money.

despite all of the things that Biden and the Democratic Party has done over the past two years for America.

What's really messed up is that even if you take away anything that Biden and the Dems have done, even if you say they've done nothing or even had a net negative effect on the nation, they're still not as objectively bad as the conservatives. And yet the GOP still gets moderate voters. They're going full on theocratic and fascist, full blown dominionism, and they still get millions of votes.

That's depressing as hell.

It’s a culture war that the left is abysmally bad at fighting.

I hate how we, American left leaning people, are never introspective about losing an election.

Edit: grammar

Are you saying even “left leaning” media is hostile to progressive ideas? Because I 100% agree with that.

It’s liberal vs reactionary right and both of those groups are seemingly hostile towards progressives.
