  despite the nyt one might add
context: Yeah, but we're nowhere near out of the woods. The Republican Party has become a fascist, win-at-all-costs criminal organization that will steal elections, lie with impunity, and promote crooks and complete morons in the oligarchy's drive to extract maximum profit without dealing with pesky human, labor, or environmental right. They must be destroyed, not coddled. >
  
  And they just got voted into the House. >
  
  Yes, but we have to remember that’s not really a reflection of the will of the American People oftentimes. 
  Gerrymandering has been so out of control Dems would hold similar margins to last congress if not for new maps and atrocious court decisions by activist GOP judges. >
  
  Or Ohio GOP just outright ignoring their own Supreme Court. >
  
  It's so infuriating that blue states make their legislatures play by the rules while red states let theirs do whatever they want. >
  
  If they played by the same rules as blue states, they wouldn't still be red states (except for Alabama and Wyoming) >

  David Brooks never misses an opportunity to attack "progressive" strawmen, especially when begrudgingly praising a Democratic President. >
  
  There’s never a shortage of conservatives offering free “friendly advice” to the half of the country they despise. >
  
  Godspeed. We are late for an important date. >
  
  Do you all understand where this is leading us to? If the MAGA GOP is beyond redemption, "What Then"? In US History, Political Parties have been eliminated. But, not in recent History. Is there any group that is ready, and able, to step into the void? Can we hope for an "Independent Party"? >
  
  We need a progressive workers party. The progressives should break off and form an independent party but still support the democrats if the republicans reconstitute themselves. Personally I believe the corporate democrats are good enough to incorporate the existing GOP ideas of tax cuts for the rich, globalization and quiet as it’s kept mass immigration to keep down wages. Progressives are the only way to give a voice to middle America and blue collar voters without the racism. Look at what Bernie Sanders did in 2015/2016. >
  
  Lmao, that's how you let gop win every election in landslide. There's no room for 3rd party in us. >
  
  That’s what corporate democrats keep threatening to keep progressives holding the line and supporting them without getting anything in return. Maybe the corporate democrats need to bend some more or even look in the mirror so they can see they are supporting a conservative agenda which is anti-workers rights and anti-workers wages. Maybe the democrats need to lose too if they don’t bend to the progressives. >
  
  They are moderates, not corporate democrats.  And moderates outnumber progressives.  There's will nvr be any successful progressive change without support of moderates. >
  
  That’s what you think. The same blue collar people that voted for Donald tRump were the same ones backing Bernie Sanders. We got tRump because the Democratic Party ignored the voices of a huge part of the electorate that have been frozen out and maligned by the “elites” in the Democratic Party. Progressives can get those voters if they leave out the social issues and focus on fiscal progressive values that support workers. The moderates can stay in the middle all they want and keep the status quo just like the republicans want them to. The progressives actually have a huge base of potential voters outside of the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders proved it. >
  
  A progressive is nvr winning a presidential election at this time.  Maybe in the future, but not now.  Bernie sanders proved it.  I wanna say like 10-20yrs and progressive may become the new moderate. >
  
  Why is it that the only word you abbreviate is "never" & how much time can omitting two "e"s possibly save? >
  
  I nvr thought much about it.  I'm over 30 and I didn't have a cellphone til I was in college.  That's probably why. >
  
  If there’s one thing all American politicians can rally over, it’s the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX! >
  
  Pro life pro republican anti Trump >
  
  The other two values you espouse led directly to Trump. To only draw the line at him shows a profound lack of self-awareness and integrity. >
  
  Ok thanks for your opinion >
  
  This sub should just be called r/propaganda.
