Fox News Tried Going After Denmark.

Not every democrat is invested in...

Would you mind telling us what you think that non-progressive Democrats ARE invested in -- especially, what is it that they are invested in that Republican leadership isn't invested in?

So why don't you join the GOP? how about answering the question instead of sidestepping?

Would you mind telling us what you think that non-progressive Democrats ARE invested in -- especially, what is it that they are invested in that Republican leadership isn't invested in?

What are you invested in that Republican leadership isn't invested in?

If you answer by telling me about how bad progressives are I'm going to start getting rude. You've stated your opinions about what you don't believe in about 1000 times. What in the F DO you believe in?

Freedom!

Would you agree less freedom can be found within the far left and the far right?

Not every democrat is invested in your comprehensive social safety net from birth to death. I propose that a significant factor in our loss in 2024 is the new Democratic agenda, spearheaded by progressives, which seeks to persuade Americans that a comprehensive safety net from birth to death is the sole path to genuine happiness in our nation.

The Democratic Party Platform did not propose a comprehensive safety net from birth to death, let alone try to convince anyone that such a thing in the sole path to happiness.

You’re making a straw man argument.

I'm not suggesting that a safety net isn't necessary or that it's inherently a negative concept, just the opposite. What I am expressing is that, under the influence of progressives, a possible mandatory, all encompassing social safety net has led to our decline as a party.

That’s a strange claim, because the Democratic Party Platform did not propose a comprehensive safety net.

They aimed to persuade all Americans that genuine happiness and daily comfort were unattainable without their support throughout life.

I think that this would be a hard claim to back up without examples.

The American people turned down the progressive effort to redefine happiness for everyday Americans.

Again, I’m going to ask for examples. You’re doing a great job of imitating a Fox News program that simply creates a list of talking points about something based on how they want the viewer to perceive that thing, rather than using a factual basis.

I hope that starting today, my party will focus on the issues that truly matter to American voters in the 2028 election.

By all means - and for probably the 47th time - what would that focus look like?

As a claimed Democratic Party voter, you’re providing an interesting example of why the Party failed to inspire enough voters to turn out for the last election, inasmuch that you seem to have absolutely no idea of what you stand for.

And he still hasn't looked at or commented on (as far as I can tell) the admirable 2024 Democratic platform we urged him to read.

Freedom!

Are you sure you're not a libertarian? Am I talking to Binger right now? What specific policies from the old-school Democratic Party that you love do you consider a) freedom promoting b) weren't championed by the Republican Party of that time?

Back in your heyday, what was it in the Democratic Party that promoted or secured greater freedom than the Republican party of that time?

Would you agree less freedom can be found within the far left and the far right?

Probably, but the definition of Freedom is slippery. Unfortunately, our freedoms are often in conflict, and so there is no such thing as pure freedom in the abstract. Folks on the extremes would certainly feel there is more freedom in the world to the ends that they believe are important.

[canpakes]

What in the F DO you believe in?

Freedom!

… the definition of Freedom is slippery.

Without further details, we could assume that anyone giving that answer can believe in any of the following types of freedom:

- Freedom from the possibility of medical bankruptcy.
- Freedom to choose a healthcare plan at a reasonable cost.
- Freedom to deny dispensing medication as a pharmacist if I don’t agree with a patient’s religious views.
- Freedom to post insanely racist or bigoted opinions online.
- Freedom to enter the United States and be granted asylum for any reason.
- Freedom to declare myself a sovereign citizen that is beholden to no federal law.

In and of itself, the simple answer of ‘freedom’ isn’t too useful.

You continue to inquire about policies and my beliefs, yet you fail to grasp the reasons behind my opposition to the progressive movement leading the Democratic agenda. The focus lies less on their policies and more on the manner in which they attempt to execute them. Progressives exhibit a sense of moral superiority regarding the implementation of their policies, leading them to believe they are justified in pressuring others, including Democrats, to accept their viewpoints exclusively. They are convinced that their policies will preserve humanity, while they view everyone else's policies as a threat to our existence.

What led to Trump's election victory? What led to 10 extra blue counties in California casting their votes for red? Why did every demographic, apart from black women, cast their votes in greater numbers for Trump compared to Kala? What prompted two Democratic representatives in Florida to transition to the Republican Party? What led Lindy Li, a prominent Democratic fundraiser, to support Trump? The reason is clear, Americans resist being compelled to vote in a particular manner simply because a minority within the Democrat party believes their policies hold moral and ethical superiority over the beliefs of others.

The self-righteous attitude of progressivism is the primary reason Elon Musk, a former Democrat, acquired Twitter and pushed back against legacy media. Their self-righteous, holier-than-thou attitude has given rise to a new independent media that will likely spell the end of traditional media in the coming years. Progressivism has significantly impacted the Democrat party, leading even rappers and Hollywood celebrities to openly support Trump.

With the ability to fact-check traditional media, individuals who previously felt compelled to remain silent due to fears of being canceled are beginning to express their opinions more freely. A significant and profound cultural shift has occurred in recent years, largely attributed to progressives who often present themselves as superior to others around them.

I hold the view that Trump emerged victorious in 2024 due to two progressive beliefs that progressives refuse to acknowledge the possibility of differing opinions on these matters. Two beliefs are that men can participate in women's sports and that women can possess a penis. The two beliefs originating from the progressive movement shaped the Democrat party in 2024, overshadowing all other issues, including abortion, gun control, the influence of billionaires supporting Trump, and even Trump's status as a convicted felon. When the American people observed Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Supreme Court Justice, at a confirmation hearing unable to define what a woman is due to concerns about being labeled a transphobe or facing other derogatory terms, the 2024 election was effectively decided. The intimidation and fear strategies employed by the progressive movement left a future Supreme Court Justice so unsettled that she struggled to articulate the definition of WOMAN! Trump became the President that day.

This video illustrates the embodiment of progressive moral superiority in practice! Progressives believe their agenda is crucial for humanity, to the extent that even a white man may feel morally justified in silencing a black man's opinion. This arrogant and self satisfied demeanor from this progressive towards other Democrats contributed to Trump's election victory. The American people, including a significant number of Democrats, recognize that the actions of this progressive in the video are utterly irrational on every level. The American people elected a convicted felon to dismantle progressive ideology.

OK, so you’re angry that you see some progressive voters acting like some conservative voters.

Still, you haven’t located anything within the Democrat Party Platform to object to?

from this progressive towards other Democrats contributed to Trump's election victory. The American people, including a significant number of Democrats, recognize that the actions of this progressive in the video are utterly irrational on every level.

Hold up. Ayou believe that a video by an Internet rando represents Democratic Party policy, and this then caused you to abandon the party?

How do you react to Internet randos from the Right when they post videos about executing gays or denying that the Holocaust existed? Does that make you refuse to vote for all Republican candidates for office?

The intimidation and fear strategies employed by the progressive movement left a future Supreme Court Justice so unsettled that she struggled to articulate the definition of WOMAN! Trump became the President that day.

A nominee for the court acknowledging that science isn’t even settled on that question has angered you enough to abandon the Democratic Party?

Maybe you should take it up with the folks from the link below. Or maybe you should question why this would be a reason to abandon the Democratic Party, for their apparent failure to politicize the scientific and legal problems with that definition.

No, they did it because the cost of eggs is too high. Trump said so himself. Shouldn’t you believe him?
