    LOL, no kidding. They know how unpopular they and their shitty agenda really are.

    No matter how much and for how many decades they and the “liberal media” have been telling everyone that this country “leans conservative”.

      People were afraid of the Manson Family too. Having assassins on your side doesn’t make you the majority. As it turns out, there were enough people OK with Trumpism to re-elect him.

        The “liberal media” denies it at nearly every turn, but Americans do and have polled progressive on the issues for decade upon decade. But their narrative is that Democrats should move further to the right to appease the supposed “conservative majority”.

          Maybe the progressives should vote consistently. It doesn’t matter how the country leans if they do t vote. The right block is the only one who consistently votes so it is who the parties target.

            Who are progressives supposed to vote for? The fascist ghouls who want to turn the US into a theocratic kingdom? Or the neoliberal ghouls that are pillaging society for everything is worth to cater to the fascists? The Democrats can only claim “this is the most important election of our lives!” so many times before people realize they have no intention of making anything better. Progressive voters have been systemically disenfranchised for the past 50 years and told to vote or else

          maybe the “progressives” should field a “candidate” that can earn more than 0.8% of the “popular vote”.
