@ecurewitz Hardly, although most liberals are still the same, there is a really far left fringe, that claims to speak for all, who have moved much further to the left, than the right has moved.

But, it isn't the whole party. Only 11% of registered Democrats agree with 'progressive' ideas. That is a very small minority of the party. The problem is, all of the sane, moderate Democrats, who are thrown into the same barrel, as the crazy fringe. The 'progressives' think they speak for the party, when they most emphatically do not. But, this 'woke' stupidity is falling out of favor, as normal liberal realize how destruction 'progressive' ideas are. Even super woke San Francisco has recalled their weak on crime DA, and crazy school board members.

@Jack-e5t That's all you have? Hush, the adults are speaking.

Just because we have a secret vote, there is no requirement, in a democracy, to stay quiet about our political stance. Maybe you're thinking of an autocratic, nondemocratic country.

@ecurewitz How much Microsoft code did Bill Gates write? None, he bought up other people's code, and shelved any that posed a rival to his crappy O/S and suite of applications. His idea was, if I can kill of good programs, mine will sell really well. Musk's ideas were, if I can develop solar power, and attractive electric cars, I can help the environment, and if I change the space program, to reuse material, it will be cheaper and better. He's a rich guy, who had good ideas for the planet.

Your assertion is not based upon facts, but prejudice, as you are a member of the "extreme left", and cannot see the error of your ways.

@clydecmcelroy4638 Maybe he's talking about college campuses, which take government money, so should support free speech.

@Junksaint Vote for the best candidate, for the office. I'm a Democrat, but if I had to choose between a Republican, who freely admits Biden won, and has a valid agenda to reduce crime, or a Democrat who is a pro-BDS pro-BLM racist, and wants to raise my taxes for more social programs for the homeless, I'll vote for the Republican. On the federal front, I'm more likely to vote for a Democrat, because I worry about reproductive rights, but will never vote for a woke racist, who believes in equality of outcome, rather than opportunity.

@pernaboys What you describe, those blind to issues affecting everyday Americans, are not liberals, but the woke 'progressives'. Real liberals still exist, they make up 89% of the Democratic party. The 'progressives' claim to speak for the party, but are actually a tiny fraction, and completely in the wrong.

@vladtheinhaler8940 Maybe half of the world is setting a good trend, towards smaller populations, but the other half of the world is quadrupling in size. Look at the world population, don't cherry pick nations like Japan. In 1970, the world population was 3,700,437,046 , fifty years later, it was 7,794,798,739. Doubling every fifty years in not a downwards trend.

@vladtheinhaler8940 The data shows the human population more than doubles every fifty years. More people, pumping more carbon into the atmosphere, cutting down more old growth forests, and pushing into more natural environs, is not a good thing.

The irony is, when classic liberals, who believe in democracy, equal opportunity and free speech, are called fascists, for these very liberal beliefs.

@spooky_hausintrees It's allowed in many states, but we don't have federal initiatives.
