    Progressive ECONOMIC policies. Getting dragged into culture war issues is the divide and conquer strategy utilized by the parasite class to keep us all fighting each other.

      Don’t worry. In addition to abandoning progressive economic policies, Democrats have done as you suggested and have started throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus. Democrats put anti-trans hate in their own ads during the 2024 election, and overwhelmingly voted against trans people in the latest defense spending bill.

      Democrats should have adopted progressive economic policies. The problem is, when they run on anything even remotely progressive, it gets killed by the current manchin and the entire party acts like this wasn’t the intention from the very beginning. They have no remaining credibility with economic progressives.

      So now they’re ditching what credibility they had with social progressives as well.
