"progressive politics" means something different to me in Mississippi than what it might in California. And it means something different to the typical Republican in Mississippi vs the typical Democrat. I define progressive politics as "social reform" for ordinary people, i.e. legalizing marijuana and making amends for the harm the former laws caused, free pre-k education, etc. Not whatever they paint it to be on FoxNews or CNN or whatever.
- zozbot234 5y agoIf you really want to make Mississippi more like California, your highest priority should arguably be to support economic freedom and moderately libertarian policy stances - not "progressive" ones.
- greenie_beans 5y agolol what? your sarcastic comment has nothing to do with anything i said in my comment. but okay, if you want to go that route, then see what "economic freedom" and austere policy has done for mississippi's economy! (hint: it has crippled it.)
