Tankie is such a weird thing to call these communists. They are way way less violent than liberals and conservatives are. They don't even support any on going genocides like the others do.
Except the democratic party isn't a large tent. There are almost no leftists in power in it. And those voters that are leftists are rapidly leaving the party.
You can't get a progressive party by becoming the white suburbanite party.
If there was a real leftist candidate you'd ally with the GOP to remove them. You might even kill them or throw them in prison.
Both us parties are right wing. So yes, the right (dems and GOP) have gone farther right.
The man is voting for the democratic because his ideology is fundamentally consistent with the democrats.
It is more like they see an opportunity to push the democratic party even further to the right. Dick is in your party because he is comfortable there. You have no politics that are fundamentally inconsistent with his.
when someone deliberately does something violent to innocent people, attacking them *first * and you respond that they have the right to "defend themselves", yes you are complicit.
Israel isn't and has never "defended" itself. It is the instigator of this conflict.
those people aren't flying by the seat of their pants. they just live in harmony with those around them. they don't feel the need to cause trouble because some thing happens.
