Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    I get that both parties suck, but from my view we will never get enough critical mass to make those changes under conservative leadership. If you look at which politicians are fighting to open up rights of the people and freedom, our best move on the board lies with the progressives in the Democratic party.

      The problem is democrats still actively fight against the left flank while in power, which leads to a slow crumble/decline as they refuse to do anything to change the status quo too much. Which leads to stagnation and people being more susceptible to falling into far right facisim. Some do end up on the left when educated but few people spend enough time to actually learn about the issues and solutions to our problems to call out the right wingers.

      Its a hard call, in 2016 I didn’t vote because Hilary sucked and I thought that the US deserved Trump, and it sure did galvanize a lot of people, however Trump also did so much lasting damage, (supreme court, tax cuts for the wealthy/corpos, etc…)

      It fucking sucks but the democratic party has done absolutely fuck all to stem the tide, they need to get with the progressive populist program or it’s just going to keep getting worse.
