      Calling people like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, or Kamala Harris “progressive” is like calling McDonald’s “food.”

      I mean, technically you’re right but… come on.

      By far most democrats aren’t voting progressively, so i don’t care what they tell you they want, when they don’t actually try to achieve anything.

        DNC have had 48 or less senate seats since the 2014 elections, currently 45 until January, so yes I agree they have yet to achieve much recently, but no I reject the claim that they haven’t voted progressively.

          Unfortunately you’re fighting the terminally online lefties who think the dems aren’t doing enough while the majority of our government has been Republican for the past 8 years, voted in by the American people. Apparently because trump did a lot while having all 3 branches and 80% of the Supreme court, that means Biden should’ve also done far more than he did while having a 5% lead in the house and -15% in the senate. Appreciate you doing it because I’m just tired of the revisionist history on this.
