Progressive Politics

You called me a centrist, but I'm really a progressive with a brain. We have the same goals. I'm the only one who presented a realistic way of reaching them.

All you got from voting blue no matter who was universal healthcare, gay rights, sanctions on settlers, emissions reductions, banking regulations, etc. By continuing to vote blue no matter who, all you would have gotten was the public option (single payer), continued emissions reductions via cap and trade or carbon tax, universal childcare, progress towards the two state solution (via follow through on the Oslo Accords instead of Iraqi shenanigans), trans rights, etc. All you got by burning everything down was faster genocide, removing healthcare subsidies, more oil dependence, removal of black and minority history from national parks, the Iran war, mass removal of legal status followed by deportation, etc. Even if you aren't directly harmed because you're sitting in a position of privilege, burning everything down has real and immediate consequences for the people you claim you want to help, me among them.

You say you're not a conservative or a Russian bot, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... Now if you'd like to debate what actually works instead of throwing innuendo around, be my guest. I'll watch your reply.
