Why do you think the progressives have achieved such sway over cultural issues within the Democrat party? It seems like an unnecessary albatross for them to carry, instead of just jettisoning that to a woo-woo 3rd party. I suspect they would be unbeatable in elections if they got rid of that baggage.
- tptacek 4y agoWhat "sway"? They make noise on Twitter and then, except for the very bluest of districts, go on to lose elections. Biden's election is literally a repudiation of performative leftism; he ran on increasing police funding, and continues to call for it today --- and he did so in the immediate wake of the George Floyd murder. I don't blame Republicans for QAnon. Where else are the QAnon dingbats going to go? The same holds for Democrats and progressive activist groups.
