They're so predictable and it's honestly infuriating because we cannot afford to lose the House and need the Senate to get anything done that is going to actually address the fundamental problems in this country. You'd think being in the party that's supposedly in support of science and truth that these people would actually practice what they preach and actually listen and learn from data and facts. But apparently that's too much to ask for as they'd much prefer to remain in their comfortable silo rather than change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progressive Democrats all won their races and reelection bids, while moderate Dems LOST up and down the ballot across the country. Yet more evidence demonstrating my point. Some of y'all really need to start being honest in here. Because Obama wasn't a socialist, but 8 years of fear mongering of socialism by Fox News and then a run in the primaries of Bernie in 2016 got us Trump. But you are not ready for that conversation. And neoliberialsm is fake. No one in the Democratic party wants completely free markets or deregulation. It's as ridiculous as Bernie winning a primary. It's a stupid insult because it is completely fake. Those who use it are spreading misinformation. It's just just sad at this point. Misinformation didn't win Bernie the primary and it will continue to shrink a far left progressive base. That's why he didn't get the turn out in the primaries he hoped for. Even young people were turned off.

caulixtla 2,170 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 In terms of Latino support, one of the factors which made Arizona (AZ) finally blue is SB1070, a bill in Arizona which allowed cops to check for proof of citizenship in routine traffic stops. This is AZ’s form of California’s (CA) proposition 187: It was a law passed by Republicans with an obvious racist agenda. Once they made their racism apparent, Latin@s in AZ mobilized and started voting in large numbers. This is described in the article, which looks at the Latin@ vote this year: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/09/us/politics/democrats-latino-voters.html (Warning: Possible paywall) My music: https://caulixtla.com/music Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie is not the reason we had Trump in the first place. Period. You're just saying **** at this point because you're not a progressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
