“progressives” be like “I love China, and Russia, hate the US and NATO, I support Hamas, and I never vote Democrat because ‘I won’t choose the lesser of two evils’” then call us ‘libs’ on Lemmy like it’s an insult because we like Biden. 🤷♂️
creates an aggregate of the most annoying people on the internet in the least charitable way possible and paints everyone left of center with it… wow I can’t believe these “progressives” these days.
I mean, I put quotations around progressives because the small subset of online self proclaimed progressives in places like Hexbear and lemmygrad are like the above.
For me a real progressive is someone like Biden who just got an agreed 5 day ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, kept other nations from escalating, and has a record of passing progressive legislation, especially as president. Also, for me, a “progressive” is someone like Jill Stein who has lunch with Putin, supports the Ukraine invasion, and only runs to get Republicans elected.

I mean, it’s a pretty accurate aggregate of Hexbear and lemmygrad and they’re pretty popular.
Oh now I get what you mean. You and I, we don’t have the same definition of progressives: neither in scope, nor in stances.
