We have living, breathing examples here on this forum of profound leftward drift ... and they're hardly the loudest voices on the left, no? I mean, who the hell pays attention to lil ole AF?
We suffer from an evacuated middle. Finger-pointing is more a symptom than a cure.
There is a profound difference between the population and the asswipes who get elected.
A recent survey found 64% in favor of legalizing pot.
62% favor gay marriage.
90% support background checks for gun purchases.
59% support abortion in all or most cases.
91% support criminal justice reform.
69% favor the Paris Climate Agreement.
None of these things can get a sniff in Congress but a further study indicated that
13% of democrats and 36% of republicunts favored "fracking" .... and guess what we have all over the fucking place.
Right, because we have allowed the top class and the religious right to bully everyone else.
