At this point I hardly know what title to apply to who any longer, but for a large part those claiming the title of progressives where the loudest bunch clamoring to vote third party or stay home.
I consider myself lower-midfle class, not poor, certainly not rich. I vote to support school levies and public good works. I say text the hell out of the ultra rich. Take a major chunk of our military budget and put it to Medicare and free college. All the same kinds of things these progressives ask for.
Yet when I say Kamela is the best realistic choice out there in this election it gets people all worked up saying I'm not better than some red hat looking to do evil in the world.
Why? This country is simply not going to turn into something resembling a Scandinavian semi-socialist country in one fell swoop.
