Politics is absolutely about compromise, but Democrats never really compromise with progressives. The most we get is putting weed in the hands of the pharmaceutical companies, Yippee.
Sigh. They compromise with Republicans because they don’t have all three of the house of representatives, the Senate, and the presidency. You want them to not compromise with Republicans? Give them all 3 consistently and overwhelmingly.
So, your only solution to fixing the country is to win a super majority every single election for all time, lest the next time the Republican wins, we will be a fascist dictatorship. Well, that doesn’t seem very tenable, does it?
I’m saying if you want progress, then give Dems overwhelming and consistent victories.
You need to twist that to ‘lest we be fascist dictatorship’. We’ll see what happens after Trump, if the Republicans continue on that path. But whether they do or don’t, we’re back to progress and if you want progress.
They can’t be progressive when they keep losing any of the 1) House of representatives, 2) Senate, or 3) Presidency. You want progress? Give them all 3 consistently and overwhelmingly.
So literally what I said, we have to win overwhelming super majorities and every single branch where there’s no hope for the country. Got it, untenable.
Well you want to keep turning this to “no hope”, down from “fascist”. Turn this around, do you want progress? That’s what it is progress.
Untenable? Dude, votes decide this. Voting is simple. This is simple.
Seems very much like you want to decide it’s “untenable” so that you can give up, excuse yourself from not voting, and (here’s the kicker) then removed online.
The ironic part is I live in a Ruby Red State. Thanks to the Electoral College, my vote literally does not matter. So frankly, if I want to throw it away in protest, that’s my right.

Guess we’re just boned, right?
Wow, the strategy of consistently voting for the party that most aligns with your values? What idiots!

Are you really implying that there is a conceivable reality in which Democrats win every election for the rest of time?

I posits that Democrats are not the party of progress as long as they ignore progressives.
Im politically homeless.
