Here’s a nice article you might find interesting:

Dems want to copy Europe and print more money.

What do you mean we can't afford Medicare for All or the Green New Deal? Why not just print the trillions of dollars we need? Why not?

—————
What they’re offering is BS, not something a number of us don’t want.

why do you post blatant lies? not a single dem said anything about printing more money.

Go help someone hand you the appropriate talking points about the last election so that you don't sounds like such a blithering idiot.

Trump did not run on not being Hillary. He ran on trade, immigration, healthcare, jobs, economic policies, cronyism, and anti-corruption.

Hillary did run on being a continuation of the Obama administration. Voters that matter rejected a third term for Obama's policies.

q you know he ran on race baiting and fear mongering.

Modern monetary theory is the only way that Elizabeth Warren could possibly pay for her plan since she says she's not taxing the middle class.

Nobody has even suggested taxing anyone to pay for the green New Deal. The only way that works is again, modern monetary Theory. Both of which are attacks on people with fixed incomes and a de facto tax on the poor. All bad monetary policy is regressive in nature. Wealthy people can certainly afford to hedge against that.

q you know he ran on race baiting and fear mongering.

Shhh!
Don't give him the approved talking points. He thinks Trump ran as not Hillary.

I should probably give him partial credit though because an awful lot of people held their nose and voted for Trump because Hillary was such an abysmal candidate. But that's hardly Trump's fault now is it?

Being the anti-Hilary party and the I'm not OBAMA!! party worked for the last idiot you people elected.

Pretty much goes for the next election, it couldn't get worse than the orange trainwreck, the views of you ball lickers, notwithstanding.

Says CowSocialist......probably a big fan of Elizabeth "Nationalize all the things" Warren.

Oh, yeah, the dude from the Detroit shithole. He definitely matches the Urban Dictionary description of a progressive. No surprise he showed up to put in his 2¢.

As Defined in the Urban Dictionary but not limit to:

PROGRESSIVE:

A term that former liberals co-opted when they discovered that their delusional beliefs didn't fit any recognized definition of the word liberal.

These fools are frequently self-loathing, unsuccessful losers who can only feel better by projecting their failures onto their opponents.

A "Progressive" is identified by the following behaviors/beliefs:

- Knows what is best for everybody else.
- Claims to be well-informed even though they get their news/talking points from CNN and/or MSNBC.

- Believes that personal wealth is evil yet they fawn over wealthy celebrities and limousine liberals.

- Believes corporations and profit are evil.

- Thinks name-calling and demonizing opponents is the same as debate.

- Accuses every person with a dissenting view of being a racist or Nazi.

- Believes in the rights of everyone, except those who disagree.

- Thinks the Constitution is flawed because they can't control all 3 branches of government.

- Believes YOUR success could only have come at THEIR expense.

Spot on.

That’s fucking hilarious. An alternative word for TDS.

It is scary to realize that those who most believe in the word 'Democracy'
are those whom would happily use the word to order the lives of their fellow citizens...

What's even scarier is that the vast majority of them think democracy=freedom....no matter how invasive and totalitarian that democracy gets.

Kinda interesting that no progressives have stepped up to refute the definition. Wonder why?

Do they ever deny their desires to violate everyone's civil rights?? Open the borders??? Take everyone shit from them and give it away to illegal migrants???

Do they ever present any arguments that Socialism is totally as American as apple pie???

Do they ever point to the founding documents and show us where "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his need." is the core ideal of the USA???

No....they know they can't.

So the immediately turn to name calling, it's all they've got.

Maybe they should rename the Democrat Party: Progressive Dingbat Party (PDP). It’s more fitting.

 

[Kantarii]

Nearly 2 out of 3 Democrats have a favorable view of socialism, according to a survey of 1,700 Americans released last month by the Cato Institute, a libertarian-leaning think tank.
That's 64% of Democrats — a significantly higher percentage than the general population. Only 39% of Americans view socialism favorably, and only 13% of Republicans do.

DSA...they can still use (D) which is the trigger mechanism that would cause nearly all of them to vote for a glass of water, as long as a (D) was next to it.

Fucking Socialism.

Yup.....anti-American scum.

They all need to be rounded up and deported to N. Korea.

But Kim would just..... Never mind, I see why it would be better deporting them to North Korea as opposed to Venezuela

Desperate 2020 presidential candidate Kamala Harris called for the suspension of President Trump’s Twitter account this week; asking the social media platform’s CEO to remove the Commander-in-Chief’s comments.

So much for free speech. Surprisingly, Tulsi Gabbard pushed back on her call.

"We can't just cancel or shut down or silence those who we disagree with or who hold different views or who say things that even that we strongly disagree with or abhor," she told NBC.

Not at all shocking to see more examples of progressives being anti-Free speech.

I'm not shocked Gabbard pushed back or that she was instantly labeled alt-Right by the twitter outrage mob.

Neither am I. Tulsi is the only Democrat I have some respect for. There’s no way she will get the nomination and I expect more progressives is the party to go after her. If she ends up dropping out of the race, I don’t see her supporters going to Biden; otherwise they would probably already be doing that.
