There are so many issues you can run on now that would have been viewed as fringe issues only several years ago. The current platform of the DNC is more progressive than ever. Yes, work needs to be done, but you have to admit that voting Green Party and potentially letting Trump have a second term simply isn't constructive Obamacare was a policy the Nixon administration came up with in the 70's to oppose the single-payer policy the Democrats were pushing for. Bill Clinton repealed Glass-Steagall and Dodd-Frank is a shadow of it. When was the last time the Democrats even proposed something similar to the Great Society? How many elected Democrats are calling for an end to the 19 year-old war in Afghanistan or the 17 year-old war in Iraq? How many are calling to ban PACs and super PACs, along with lobbying? The Democratic party is only moderately left-wing on social issues, but that aside, they overwhelmingly agree with Republicans. No change will come from voting for the party that continue to cave to the opposition at every opportunity. --- "I play with myself" - Darklit_Minuet, 2018 <cite>Garioshi posted [p:937847646] in For Genera...
