Nah. Have you ever heard a mainstream progressive offer up a concrete plan to actually address the existing power asymmetry? All you get is impotent platitudes about reversing Citizens United, or the implied belief that tax-and-spend policies (i.e. the progressive platform) will naturally solve the problem over time.
In other words, the pitch is something like, "The ultra rich are have too much influence. How do we fix it? Why, just vote progressive!" which is exactly what you would expect if the focus on the ultra rich was merely a political ploy.
- kristopolous 4y ago"mainstream progressive" does all the lifting in that sentence. You knew for a fact that I could point to dozens of people so you guarded it with something you could move the goalposts on and then be "dude that's not mainstream enough". Cool. Not playing that stupid game. The entire internet is so fed up with all of these stupid right wing negging games. Nobody cares any more. You're liars frauds and scoundrels. Everyone's on to it

- kristopolous 4y agoYou're still being just a 4chan troll. It's the classic "touch grass" response whenever someone calls them on their games. These words aren't for you, it's for others who read it so they can see the obvious patterns. The troll playbook is thin.
- marcusverus 4y agoAre you under the impression that paranoid ravings are deserving of a considered response? You haven't engaged, you've only ranted. The fact that you lack the awareness to realize this is a sign. Seek help.
