@YouCanNOTvoteOutFascism i dont specifically remember which bill she voted down just to make Trump look bad, i was reffering more to the whole immigration snafu, during the Obama years, the dems voted to fund border wall building bills and more security on our southern border, but then during the Trump years all of a sudden a complete about face and the dems voted against any bill for funding toward border security, i remember hte fighting about funding building a border wall. i cant say the repubs are blameless in all of this, because during the Obama administration they were not exactly cordial, and hampered or tried to block plenty of policies from the dems, i cant recall specific examples, but i know there were instances and am not going to claim there were not.
i would have to say that since at least 2008, and possibly before, maybe into the Clinton administration, the dems and repubs have resorted to obstructing and hampering their opponents instead of working for the common good of everyone.

@nathandwyer7273 i completely agree, but with the following that Sanders had back in 2016, he could have easily formed a 3rd party, he could have stayed as an independent and brought that party out of the obscure fringes, but i think what his intent was was to get rich, i noticed he use to rail against the millionaires and billionaires, then once he got paid off by the dems and the Clinton squad and because a millionaire himself, all of a sudden he changed to talking only about the billionaires. he lost a little respect from me on that.
i still respect him a lot though, i would most likely not vote for him, it all depends, but i respect him because i believe he genuinely wants to help people, but i feel the policies he wants to enact to help people would ultimately prove to be destructive and hurt people in the long run. he leans more toward socialist policies, and while those policies work out fine and dont hurt anyone in the first year or the first decade, within the first or second generation those policies prove to be harmful to people, that is evidenced throughout history with every country that has run a socialist system.

@charlidog2 so i read your post, and your second paragraph goes off on a tangent of attacking me? for what? because i dont worship the guy you want me to worship? you sound almost like a christian priest or a muslim iman trying to convert me by browbeating me. did i say that YOU have serious issues or self hate or innability to think or accept reality? no. so why do you go of on attacking me? i simply stated that i hate him, and i have plenty of reason to hate him, let me explain.
as far as him being on the right side of history? that is not always so, look at his voting record on wars, its mixed, he voted for some wars and against others, in effect he voted in favor of Iraq and Aphghanistan and Libya and voted against the war in Yemen, not exactly what i would portray as being on the right side of history ALL the time.
secondly, lets look at his policies, they are socialist leaning policies without a doubt, and socialist policies have proved time and again to effectively destroy a people within a generation. care to look at Russia or the various other socialist regimes in the world and tell me they are shining examples of how people should live?
thridly, he is a sellout, and that is what makes me hate him. during the 2016 election, he actually had a chance if he stuck to his guns, he really did, but instead, he sold out to the dems and to the Clintons, and there is no denying that. and i am not going to like a sellout.
so now, with all of that said, if you had read my post completely, you would have noticed that i stated that i respect him a lot, because i believe that he genuinely wants to help people, but his policies lean socialist, and those policies have been proven time and again to destroy the prosperity of a people within a generation or two, that is historical fact. personally i dont think being on the right side of history is pushing policies that have destroyed prosperity. but with everything said, i even said that i most likely would not vote for him, but depending on the circumstances i actually might.
so i think i have been pretty rational and logical about this, but then here you come along like a fanatical zealot attacking people for not worshiping your god. would you care to start up the inquisition again? shall you put me on the rack for being a heretic? or just straight to the draw and quarter arena? please dont burn me at the stake, i hate when that happens. can i have a choice? i would prefer simple beheading, quick and fast.

@YouCanNOTvoteOutFascism yea, like i said, i remember the dems obstructing and hampering Trump during the last 4 years, i cant really recall off the top of my head the exact bills they went against, same as i cant remember exactly which bills the repubs went against during the Obama administration, but i do remember it was there.
and yes, i agree with you, both parties are there just to enrich themselves and gain more power for themselves while they pit us against each other. my favorite is the repubs claiming that the dems want to destroy white society and take away our country and give it to Mexicans and the dems pushing that repubs are racist because anything they do is racist such as requiring ID's for voting. the funy thing is most people buy that stuff, and some people that buy it are radicalized by it to do extreme things, i would point to the storming of the capitol during the Kavanaugh hearings in favor of the dems and the storming of the capitol on 1/6 in favor of the repubs.
its funny how the dems claim that people crossing over the southern border illegally should be released while forgetting to say that its a Koch brothers "policy" because those people can be easily exploited as a second class workforce. its funny how republicans claim to be about the constitution and pushing the first amendment wt the same time pushing their ideology of marriage and pro-life based on religion. my biggest laugh though was when the establishment politicians kept claiming that Trump, who is an outsider and his first time ever serving in politics, is the actual establishment. LOL
as for progressives, i would think that term means progress, but most progressives dont really act like it, they act more like authoritarian welfare stewards. what i mean by that is, they consider progress as instituting a welfare state to give freebies to everyone, free healthcare, free education, free housing, various other free things, and using almost authoritarian tactics to get attention. and traction.
a true progressive would work for policies that would bring progress to policies that would help better the human condition and make peoples lives better. giving people free healthcare doesnt make peoples lives better, it just gives people a freebie that is really not free because it has to be repaid to the government anyway. revamping the healthcare system itself to make healthcare accesible to everyone is true progress.
giving people a minimum wage of $15h does not make the human living condition better, it just gives a freebie that temporarily raises a persons abilities, but hte detriment is that the inflation it causes soon rises up to meet that new wage while at the same time destroying peoples buying power that are already above that minimum wage. true progress is pushing policies that would raise peoples core skill base where those people would be able to get those higher paying jobs without relying on the government to govern their wages and allow for them to live a comfortable life.
forgiving people their college debt doesnt help anyone, since that debt has to be repaid no matter what, whether its the individual or the collective, the only thing it does is it ensures that EVERYONE is forced to pay college debt for the rest of their life through taxes. after all, you dont expect the government to forgive your student debt but then refuse to pay your neighbors kids student debt when they are old enough to go to college in 20 years, someone will have to pay for it. true progress would be pushing policies that would make it possible for people to go to college of their own volition without putting them into catastrophic lifetime debt.
just because someone calls it progress, doesnt always mean its good.

@charlidog2 yes, there is middlw ground, i wont take it, i still hate him, becaue he DID sell out, you just redefine it as a concession. he could have beat Clinton, he was outraising her and had more support than her and he sold out in exchange for those "concessions" as a runner up. funny how he used to screech about the "millionaires and billionaires" but right after the election when he got those "concessions" and he became a millionaire, all of a sudden his rhetoric changed to just screeching about the "billionaires", because he is a millionaire now so you have to leave the millionaires alone. and yea, you can redefine socialism into "good governance" or "investing in ourselves" or whatever magic buzzword you want to make yourself feel better and help you go to sleep at night, i dont care, its still IS socialism, and his policies lean toward it. governments job should not be to ensure that you have everything you need and have a comfortable life and provide you with everything, because not everyone fits into that cookie cutter system you want to create. governments job should be limited in its scope to providing for your defense, and protecting your rights through a legal framework of law and justice and provide enough of an education to ensure that people can function adequately in society.

@xyzsame4081 yea yea, look at the 2016 election, Trump won, and 95% of the media coverage on him was negative to the point where a part of it was nothing but pure blatant lies.
right now there is talk of Trump forming a third party, and plenty of his followers will go there and plenty of republicans are stating that they will leave the republican party to go there. all of this from a man who during his campaign was smeared as a homophobe and mysoginist and xenophobe and racist and authoritarian and establishment and whatever.
Sanders should have realized his potential and his power back in 2016, everyone else seen it, everyone else commented on how much more money Sanders was raising than Clinton, everyone commented on how much bigger Sanders crowds were compared to Clinton. but noooo, either sanders and his entire team were inept or sellouts to not notice it. he should have gone for it, he should have gone independent as he always was instead of hitching his wagon to the DNC and selling out his principles.
Trump lost the 2020 election because it was rigged, not in the sense of stolen, but there were enough rule changes made to benefit the democrats, those rule changes included media coverage, and media censorship, along with law changes to voting requirements and how votes are collected. Time magazine did an article recently detailing the "fortification" of our election.
so yea, you can go love Sandesr the sellout like a little kd who has been offered free ice cream, because thats all he offered you and you bought it. i have no love for the man, because freebies are not hte way to win my loyalty, character is.
