General Discussion

So tired of progressives being lumped in with the electorally successful do-nothing party while calling it "America."

Also tired of so-called progressives blaming Democrats for "not fighting hard enough" when simpleton voters put the do-nothing party in power.

Frankly, we have an electorate that overwhelmingly prefers the Democratic agenda, but fills in the black dot for fascists. Frankly, it's mostly white voters with a form of Stockholm syndrome that prioritizes identity over policy. They've blindly accepted that the republican party of today (white men for white men) are better at handling the economy and foreign policy simply because they are almost exclusively white men. Meanwhile, it's the economic policies of those white men that keep wages low and prices high.

And of course there are the voters of all persuasions who need to be "enthusiastic" about a candidate before they vote. As if preventing floods, monitoring police misconduct, mitigating gun violence, protecting women's bodily autonomy, investing in domestic tech, etc. aren't anything over which one should be enthusiastic.

I was never optimistic about the brain capacity of some voters, but this last election has me trusting people a little less.
