pretty goddamn progressive.
manufactured fury?
i got the moderate flavor because of the criticism of poor performance by a democrat based on a measured result (i.e. drone program fail mention) instead of a criticism with an emotional basis only (he could've done MORE for lqbt rights [made up for comparison only]) and this quote (well said, 100% agree) "You can support someone and still call out their fuckups."
like the gender pay gap? like a vice president who jailed a woman for a 20 week old stillborn? like a president who sent out this tweet?
Was it thanks to me because I didn't vote for Clinton in a state that she won or because we were telling you what was going to happen when you were calling us conspiracy theorists?
Notice, not a single economic issue abound. All social issues.like the gender pay gap? like a vice president who jailed a woman for a 20 week old stillborn? like a president who sent out this tweet?
like a president who stood up in a debate and talked about "ripping babies out of the womb at 9 months", as if that were a thing that actually happened, solely to demonize women for exercising their persona autonomy?
like laws being passed mandating that doctors lie to women about the health effects of an abortion, or the health of their child in the womb?
how about three times as many men named john runnning fortune 500 companies than women of any name whatsoever?
did ya ever think we still have a shit ton of equality issues right here at home to worry about still?

Nope, he did not. He worked with what the voters gave him in a conservative congress. He took office during the worst recession in 70 years and did a fine job of bringing the country out of it. That you claim failure because he couldn't overcome a radical obstructive congress is on you, not him. He made progress. The ACA still stands and the right wing party is realizing just how much of an accomplishment that legislation was.
president is just one man and one branch of government. he's not supposed to be that powerful
Oh look at the pretty straw man you set up and knocked down. What a magnificent debate tactic that was.
You conflate two unrelated concepts. You are confused about what progressive politics are.
can you clarify progressive politics a little? just a few bullet points is cool if you can, it would help. the perception i get from what i read is that accepting corporate money like that is not progressive.
Trump likes a single-page bulleted list with no more than 9 bullets for intelligence briefings
Aware of the bullet point thing, but havent heard the 9 bullets thing. what is your thoughts on that

That's fine as far as it goes, I'm still much more interested in them passing legislation that will make a lasting positive impact on how's this country is run going forward.
The progressive political movement had its heyday about a hundred years ago and the term lost any real meaning when the movement sputtered out after Roosevelt Bull Moose party dissolved.
president wants to bomb it happens; wants to create a shadow government we get fema and homeland security. He wants to create a war on drugs ... Try closing g-bay or ending war or expanding education or putting the police in check.
I firmly believe just education alone could solve all our problems.
