Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)

Whilst I believe the message on the whole, this is just clear... cherry picking, no?
MAGA is white trash. …And pick me trash. To be fair. I wish we could just split the country at this point. Irreconcilable differences.

Literally what the controlling donor-class want more than anything.
The more we're divided, the less chance we have of making unified actions against corporate power and capital.
Do you think they will stop at left-versus-right? Why do you think there's so much infighting within left and right groups? Agitators are already in our midst driving up contention with rage-bait politics and they amplify the worst positions on both sides of every issue. They want every single American to be alone, inside their home, browsing a shopping feed.
Maybe? Absolutely liberals care more about their communities. Part of conservatism is that you don’t give a single shit about anyone but yourself. Maybe your kids. But that’s only if they’re straight and cis.

I'm in the middle of watching the Some More News episode about Stephen Miller, and it's the first thing I thought of seeing the post
That was quite an episode. Something is very wrong with that man.
Conservatives think destroying the community is a flex.
you mean destroying "tHe deEp StAtE" or "THe EsTabLishMenT"
I guess only when they do it. BLM community destruction is still something brought up often.
conservatives think anything is a flex as long as they can CO-OPT it into thier realm, they dont have a single belief they hold on to, and quite fickle, today its bad bunny, tommorow, its something else.
They are just reactionary and don't have solid, thinking principles to guide them.
This could be a massive advantage, we could literally own them and push them into every good position we want if we all unified and understood that they have the minds of toddlers and just need good narratives and emotional engagement.
Instead, what most on the left do over and over is clash with ideology, philosophy and trying to argue about their "inconsistency." This has never worked except with people already on the fence, which is a shame that we have essentially given up on a 3rd of our population because the required level emotional intelligence is something you get from socializing and being social.
And like, half the people on the left are more vindictive than want better outcomes and want to see the right "pay" more than they want to see them change.
In my town you couldn’t even tell there had been a protest there minutes after.
Allegedly true of country music fans too. That Venn diagram isn’t quite a circle, but it’s close.
Death Metal fans are percieved as incredibly violent, but actually are usually super nice.......unless you give them a reason to get super violent. Then they're super violent.
But after they get done lynching you, they'll stop for coffee and tea and discuss politics and comunity news.
"They're nice when they're not mean." is a pretty bad take.
But do you tip generously?
The person describing death metal fans never said they were a death metal fans.
The march didn't go to central ave but yes there were clean up crews
Yeah fake pics.
Fuck Trump though.
speaks volumes
