Progressive Politics

I love that "it's not about the idiology" except it totally is. It may not be about the name, but the idiology is trying to do something to help poor/working class people, instead if the wealthy. Meanwhile the alternative neoliberal ideology is about talking about the poor/working class struggling and doing nothing to help them because it'd come at the cost of the wealthy.

He's not doing well because he's called a socialist. He's doing well because he is a socialist and that prioritizes the people, not businesses.

One of the most unlikeable politicians pushed on us this decade, who’s been flatly rejected by the voters at every turn, thinks he has a clue about what people want.

Pete would’ve thrived 20 years ago, but arrived just in time for the death of liberalism.

God I hate Bootyjudge.

I'm not a huge fan of his, but I don't entirely disagree.

If someone genuinely wants to pass universal healthcare, tax the rich, or has a great plan to drive down the cost of living... I'm significantly less concerned with the specifics of their ideology than I am with their policy goals.

People generally vote around kitchen table issues.

Unfortunately for Pete and the DNC, everyone currently in office has demonstrated that they will actively oppose any policy that would help the working class. They've burned through all their good will.

If I see one more DNC hack yammering about how city run grocery stores wont work, I'm going to loose my grip. Maybe they will, maybe they wont. But people would rather the government fail trying to help common citizens than succeed at fucking us over.

Pete is close, but not close enough.
