Ruud is Dutch. FediDB says the server is in the US. So maybe we're talking about two different things.

I think you mean progressives.

The issue there, is not having a progressive party to vote for.

The Democrats have been nearly as as tied to Neoliberal Capitalism as the Republicans. They only done the bare minimum to court progressives, so as to not upset the big donating ownership class.

But perhapse if they loose enough, they might catch on and start to embrace economic-populism.

I voted for them. But I can't blame people who don't. We've been ignored for decades now.

All the Christians would hate him.

There's no one con that'll get everyone.
But everyone can be gotten by at least one con.

If they're an idiot who doesn't know, they aren't a monster, but a victim of a con.
It's the people who DO know because they aren't idiot's, that are the monsters.

It might seem pedantic. But it really is an important distinction.

It took me a long time to figure this out.
Trump lies with every breath. Even his supporters don't believe the literal truth of his words. They instead replace the literal meaning of his words, with the more broad idea that he's talking about the thing they like, in a way other politicians don't. That nebulous ephemeral feeling is what they are voting for.

Of course they can't understand that, let alone express it coherently. Which is why all their reasons are such incoherent straw-grasping.

I could probably count the things that weren't mistakes on one hand.

Forward doesn't even need to exist after achieving open primaries, ranked choice voting, and multi-member districts. Until that happens UBI won't be possible with the corpo duopoly we have.

Parties don't have to be perminant. Even less perminant should be our support. Other parties will be possible when our process is fixed. Which ever ones support any form of UBI will get my support. But that may be a decade away or more.

Not a dictate. Just a suggestion if you're interested in being constructive. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
