    You seem to think change happens in a vacuum and that at no stage has anyone attempted to stand in front of the things that have helped millions.

    On one hand you have the Right who wish harm on an honestly cartoonish scale. Like, it’s difficult to fathom just how much suffering they want to cause others without somehow doing mental gymnastics to wrap your mind around it. They are the cartoon evil villains at the top, while towards the bottom are amongst the poorest, least educated, and angriest people. The vast majority of whom have been living under Republican leadership for generations.

    On the other you have a flawed group composed of many different groups whose opinions largely intersect, though often with key differences. Some of them wish harm on others, that is inevitable, though by magnitudes less than the Right. Many of them just want life to be better, and the rest want life to be better for all, including those on the Right. The States traditionally under the Left’s leadership have higher quality of life in every measurable aspect, and greater access to institutions who can help them.

    You talk about the smaller steps the Left takes while completely ignoring the small steps the Right has taken leading up to this. A gradual decline decades in the making. We CAN fix it, and we could use the help of those who want to be heard. All we ask is to help us win this election and then be the voices that help push that positive change after the election.

      the Left

      I’m not criticizing the left, look at the specific things I’ve criticized and who implements them. Liberals are not the left.

      All we ask is to help us win this election

      The dems would rather lose than do what their electorate demands, hence the year long genocide they’re supporting.
