Now that it's in an article, will certain servers believe us now? Not that Dems will stop nazifying themselves, but can everyone at least admit that these are popular policies?

Which is exactly why it’s not a fridge movement to stop voting blue no matter who. Supermajorities of both democrats and republicans support progressive policies.

The democrat and centrist democrat politicians will bow before the progressives, or they will lose votes and elections.

Blue no matter who is dumb.

The people support them but not the ones who end up being elected

This is why blue no matter who is worse than voting for politicians who support the same policies you do…
