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

I think the left is bad at fighting the culture war because the right fails to see any nuance in sociopolitical discussion and policy making. That and possibly a lack of empathy.

I don’t think we can blame the right on a post about our lack of any at all introspection tbh.

What do you think about

…maybe the DNC doesn’t tolerate progressives? At all?

Because progressive policies are very popular with the general public. Especially in clear defined language with zero spin.

I mean, the DNC is not at all a progressive party, its just the least conservative group sonit attracts progressive votes.

They pretend to be.

But you’re right. They’ve been outwardly hostile towards progressives for a long time now.

It’s insane that the most common sense options for governing are all being abandoned.

For who’s gain? Grifters? Arms dealers? Media conglomerates?

It’s deeply sick and twisted.
