That’s not the platform they are running on at all though. That’s something I only hear progressives online say as they attack centrists to the delight of right wingers.
You never heard “we need to stop trump” or “help us stop trump” from democrats? Being not-trump has been the party platform ever since he got elected, to the point where they adoringly talk about any republican that has argued against him, even scumbags like john bolton.
I think their point is that Democrats aren’t progressives. They’re Neo-Liberals, aka, conservatives.
I personally have to hold my nose and vote for Democrats when the party puts forth the most milquetoast conservatives that they can possibly find. Hell they had to run an 80 year old candidate just to find someone that agrees with the DNC corporate policies.
This isn’t to say both parties are the same. They aren’t. The Republicans are absolutely fascists that want to destroy democracy because it doesn’t work for them at all. The Democrats are only willing to work with democracy because it’s working for them thus far.
Don’t tell that to all those weekend armchair political quarterbacks, though, you’ll be bombarded by a barrage of “mUh PuRiTy! bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe!” confirmation-biased autistic screeching.
Other voters have standards. I get that you don’t but you need the people to your left that you hate if you want to defeat the fascists.
The more you comment, the more true your claims. Oh wait no that’s not how anything ever works, my bad.
