What's behind door #3 ?


If there was a solution to fixing the problems of this nation, which door would it be behind?

Behind door #1 are conservative solutions, cut taxes and do away with regulations and make the country more business friendly.

Behind door #2 are moderate solutions, where a middle ground solution is found for every problem and we steer away from radical approaches of any and every kind.

Behind door #3 are progressive solutions, that raises taxes, cuts defense spending, creates job programs for the unemployed and offers more radical approaches to the problems we face.

Which door do you choose?

"Progressive" has a meaning, and "radical" has never been a synonym for it. The modern usage of the term is mostly because a bunch of liberals are just plain terrified of being called "liberal." So let's call #3 what it really is - Leftist solutions.

And then I open the door.

Yes, semantics fucking does count. it's why morons point at that fascist fuck Stalin and go "Hur, that's socialism, dur-urrrr!"
