95% of my values HEAVILY align with the left, but they also
a) are vaguely lazy and I don't identify with that
b) go way too far on issues I've done zero research on
c) never pass legislation due to never having enough political power
So I can't support them.
I should've added a /s.
Well these things sure seem like they could be related...
I have had so many conversations from casual progressive conspiracy theorists about how they think all the Democrats get together and agree on the fall guy (most recently, Manchin) to keep issues on the table indefinitely. You see it constantly with these Jill Stein people. I've literally told them the only solution is to give liberal Democrats the majority, which they haven't had in my lifetime.
Those ones are constantly spreading idiotic takes. "The Dems and Repubs have a ratchet effect towards evil. Therefore we should let the Repubs in to advance the ratchet."
The things they cite as Dems holding the country back are like always direct results of Repub SCOTUSes, too.
Sure, drag agrees with the left on every issue and completely supports their policies. But drag thinks politics are like sports teams, and drag won't back a loser!
