Who the hell do you think these mythical Democrats should vote for? Some third party that won’t win and will have a spoiler effect? The GOP whose policies help create the problems you’ve described?
What Republican is running on popular leftist policies? That’s news to me.
You’re right we shouldn’t have to settle. Unfortunately we live in the real world where should doesn’t matter and actions dictate our reality. I’d much rather take a milquetoast centrist that wants to preserve our democracy and important institutions vs a right-wing radical that wants to burn it all down.
Why can’t Democrats do the same, but in the other direction?
They kind of are with AOC and Bernie Sanders on tour but it takes time. Not to mention, for better or worse, there are people trying to do the math of winning/losing voters and who is more or less likely to vote. For now, the DNC “professionals” are betting that they’d turn off more voters than they’d get if they ran further left candidates in more races.
I’m not sure I agree with them or the overall DNC strategy the past decade but the strategy and who they plan to back with money does seem to be moving further left so that’s good.
Bro it’s breaking Catholic canon. They can change that shit that’s what the Pope is for.
Maybe God would be chill with revealing child abuse even if it comes from confession. Just carve a little exception out there. Crazy that the clergy would rather protect pedophiles than reinterpreting some doctrine.
