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 :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
When ice tossed all those chicago homes without warrants is when I started protesting. Such a flagrant violation of the constitution and americans sit on the side lines or worse support it. When congress did not impeach within a few months is when I could no longer accept any kind of discourse that treats the republican party as being legitimate. Also any that want to say dems and republicans are the same. yeah there are endless problems with democrats but republicans abandoned the common document that defines the country.
No one is saying that the Democrats and Republicans are the same. What we're saying is that the Democrats allegience to the ruling class puts them in a position that makes them unable to deal with fascism, and the result is that their function as a political party is to defang otherwise radically leftist movements.
Joe Biden spent a record amount on ICE camps while the threat of fascism was obviously clear.
Biden continued building Trump's border wall.
Joe Biden sat on his ass for 4 years and refused to prosecute Trump.
Democrats sat with their thumbs up their butts while Merrick Garland got flogged for scotus, and then turned around to immediately confirm Barrett.
Obama not only discovered Tom Homan, but awarded him with a medal when Homan devised a plan to separate migrant children from their parents at detention centers.
Every single dem senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio, who has obviously been one of the biggest champions of "immigration enforcement.
Democrats capitulated during the multiple government shutdowns.
Democrats blatantly shafted Bernie in 2016, and all but guaranteed Trump's ascension.
Democrats refused to pull Biden out of the race and all but assured Trump's second term.
Kamala promised to build the world's most lethal military during an active genocide
Democrats, during a period of blistering inaction, rushed into action to censure Al Greene when he was rude.
Establishment yes, but there are others and their number is growing. The old guard can do little to stop it at this point.
I lost hope after Obama turned out to be an establishment Dem and the DNC pushed Bernie out. This system is intentionally designed to prevent meaningful change. (Well, absent Civil War-like opposition.)
We are screaming at Dems to campaign on abolishing ICE. The best they can do is ICE reform. ICE came into existence after Bush jr. and is clearly able to be turned into the president's personal paramilitary group. All this is to say: the Dems are also responsible.
there is a difference with direct and obviously violating the constitution and doing something that is not so great within the powers they have.
I swear every single complaint I have against democrats is met with "But they are not as bad as Republicans!" This country is doomed.
much better. obama care was half a loaf but im glad to have it. republicans change it to make it worse and if became worse fast. biden did the no surprise billing that improved it greatly. the infrastructure bill was a good bill. many things biden did were very good. we acted sanely under obama. I mean even junior did the wierdo massaging of the german chancelors shoulders. Yes. it is one side is batshit crazy and the other is not super great but acts sanely.
