I know it's tough to get around the fact that some filthy rurals are gonna get their lives made better with socialism but until you get at least some of them to vote for you more people are gonna keep dying

I accept that fact easily, and also know that rurals will do everything in their power to stop their lives being made better because minority lives will also improve

Why don't you just join the loving Republican party if you fawn over Republicans-in-all-but-name like Ossoff so much.

20% 30% I cant see more than 30% . downside is like 10-15%

Wasn't the consensus like 3 weeks ago that being anti abortion is actually progressive if you're in favor of a minimum wage hike like other noted left wing guy who lost, Mello?

Generations ago and if you haven't noticed things are different. The disanalogy wrt the left comes with the fact the right wing is backed by effectively a global capitalist empire and the very structure of the republic itself favors the conservatives.

Barring that, huey long was assassinated.

The republic will not save you. It was designed to do this.

You know I don't know why you can't take a hint but when everybody calls you stupid when you say stupid things maybe, I dunno, stop saying stupid poo poo but what do I know.

But ok, support people who are now pro-life and soon to be anti-lgbt, like the democratic party.
