What do "Progressives" want?

[bellisarius]

Seriously, what is the goal of your agenda? Give it to me point by point. And if you can, tell me how you intend to get there.

For starters, they want to be called something other than liberals.


Oh...you wanted serious.

 

[pointless]

no. fuck off.

 

[Kirkrapine]

For starters, they want to be called something other than liberals.

The distinction is real enough.

The radicals blaze the trail.

The progressives build the cabins.

The liberals move in after the showers have been installed.

 

[Kirkrapine]

And if you can, tell me how you intend to get there.

That's purely an electoral matter, requiring hearts-and-minds preparation on the ground. If the Congressional Progressive Caucus becomes a majority, it will all happen. But we'll have to make a lot of converts before that can happen.

 

[coati]

no. fuck off.

Considering it was Bellow Sorry Ass making the demands, that is an excellent response.

So, your dream is to have a minority of the country dictate to the majority of the country how their money should be spent?

No, to build a progressive majority. Wasn't that clear enough? As a substantial minority, progressives could get their way sometimes, but not "dictate" anything.

First thing is for you to sober up. But that's on you, not Progressives.

Nothing worse than a reformed fat person, eh Robb?

 

[CandiCame]

Someone already gave him a pretty good list. Thread closed. Asked and answered.

 

[phrodeau]

So, your dream is to have a minority of the country dictate to the majority of the country how their money should be spent?

That is our current reality. The President did not win the popular vote, and the 51 Senate Republicans represent fewer citizens than the 49 Senate Democrats.

I think I might be a progressive however I am definitely not a liberal.
What do I want... I want to see Kanye west as president of the United States. I'd like to see the 13th amendment repealed, now you can't get more progressive than that!

Now that would be more fun than watching the USA being presided over by fat Joffrey.

Even guns that protect hillary and barry after they are out of office? When they are in the midst of their loving public?

And you hate Ivanka because she is pretty. You are not.

Your soul is black. Or dead, you choose.

The general population of Republicans were fired up on by a deranged Democrat, in a fucking softball game retard. You should have been a bat girl or bev babe for that game sweetie.

 

[magicalmoments]

Oh... And a wall right around the entire country, like Berlin had under the communists, with machine gun posts every couple of hundred yards to shoot any cunt who tries to get out.

Oh yes... Another... Shift the United Nations HQ from New York to Shanghai.

Shut the fuck up and stay in your hole. Your opinion is shit.

All he knows is what you shared about yourself, and I wouldn't call you great...

Bernie’s army in disarray

See here. Note all the subject-buttons on the left side of the page.

Bernie Sanders’ top operatives formed “Our Revolution” after he lost the 2016 primaries to keep his army organized and motivated — and potentially prepare for another presidential run in 2020.

But an extensive review of the Sanders-inspired group depicts an organization in disarray — operating primarily as a promotional vehicle for its leader and sometimes even snubbing candidates aligned with Sanders. Our Revolution has shown no ability to tip a major Democratic election in its favor — despite possessing Sanders’ email list, the envy of the Democratic Party — and can claim no major wins in 2018 as its own.

Sanders to campaign in Columbia before SC election; some Dems not happy

COLUMBIA, SC — Bernie Sanders is diving into South Carolina’s election campaign, and some Palmetto State Democrats are not happy about it.

Some S.C. Democrats are not happy about Sanders’ visit.

Amanda Loveday, a former executive director of the S.C. Democratic Party, told the Associated Press that Sanders’ visit is “extremely selfish” and not in the best interest of the state’s Democratic candidates.

Good read FGB.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Yep, activist-interventionalist government, which is why the meltdown over Kavanaugh.

Some of their more destructive interventions were the Progressive income tax, the 17th Amendment and most of what FDR did.
