Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like “liberal” and “conservative”.

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as “to the left” or “to the right” of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

    I agree with all of these except one part: No gun control until you straighten out America’s cops first, progressives.

    Right now, if someone breaks in to my house and I call the police, at best the police will arrive an hour or two later, fill out some paperwork, and then say there’s nothing they can do before leaving. At worst the police will shoot me dead and sprinkle some crack on my body, and make jokes about shooting me with their cop buddies after their shift.

    These are both completely unacceptable options. America needs “cop control” before gun control. Fix the cop problem first, then we can talk about the gun problem.

      It’s too late for gun control. The ship sailed. Progressives need to stick to the common sense regulations like 3 day wait period and stop doing the weird assault weapon definitions

        With Trump in office, politicians on the left have much better things to do right now than worry about if I own a gun or not.

        This is not the time where the left gets to lecture to me about how I’m an awful person if I happen to own a gun. Rather, this is the time the left needs to be doing some self-reflection, looking inward, and asking themselves why so many people won’t vote for them - And lecturing people about how they’re awful people for things like owning a gun is part of that problem.
