To those who say "but centrists win elections" riddle me this: What's the point of winning elections if the country keeps tilting to the far right? Example: Obama won and then expanded Bush's drone policy, extrajudicial killings, and indefinite detention.https://twitter.com/peterdaou/status/1192060811377664000 …
In a country where progressive issues have majority support, how is the Supreme Court now a rightwing rubber stamp?
Why are we leaving the #ParisAgreement?
Why are kids dying in cages?
Why are racism and white supremacy flourishing?
How do we have such #ExtremeInequality?
How are we going backward on women's rights?
How are we turning into #Gilead??
It's because despite occasional Dem victories, the system is structured to preserve the patriarchy and oligarchy. It's designed to enrich the rich and powerful at everyone else's expense.
I guess my mom getting Medicaid under the expansion wasn't worth it? There's obviously a middle ground here no
I'm not saying nothing good happens. What I'm arguing is that incrementalism and status quo politics ultimately leads to MORE injustice and inequality. Just look around you. We've moved to the right as a nation. And people are dying because of it.
But if Obama hadn’t won we’d wouldn’t have Ocare, the judiciary would be even further right, etc. Winning and getting something is always better than losing everything.
Um, #MerrickGarland. How hard did Dems fight for him? Not very.
Not true. Trump is a symptom of the rightward shift, not its cause.
Any saying Progressives can win everywhere in USA riddle me this:
•Progressives haven't won elections nor do they govern all towns-states
•Localities & states have diverse political views & needs
•Neither MAGA Progressives nor Centrist define USA--it's a democracy #Resist
Because the party doesn’t back progressives. The party sides with moderates, because the Democrats of the 21st century have become the Republicans of the late 20th century, doing all they can to protect and maintain the status quo, even as it shifts under their feet.
