Socialism is not the same as a MIXED Economy

36. I'm talking about the term progressive from 1991 to now

I'm no fan of Woodrow Wilson he is responsible for those laws we used to target whistleblowers that was originally used liberally by J Edgar Hoover to go after lefties.

I don't know why some Sanders supporters talk about identity politics. When I think of identity politics I think about what's getting people killed in Ukraine. I don't think you'll see me bringing up identity politics but I don't hold the politician I support responsible for that. I first heard of the term identity politics when I was studying Ukraine prior to the election. Russian identity, Russian language, nationalism.

I was defending Obama's immigration stance when it came to SB1070 which was introduced by my former state Senator Russell Pearce. There were a lot of conservative leaning members or trolls that not only backed SB1070 but some doubted it was written by racists. One poster wrote that Scalia wrote a beautiful dissent. There was a lot of debate but progressives that used to post here were against the SB1070 as well as most people here in general but I tend to find Conservative Democrats like stop and frisk Bloomberg more problematic when it comes to discrimination issues.

I've been here at the board during a lot of changes. I remember people here that took the side of Zimmerman or most police shootings up until around Michael Brown there were racist under the radar trolls that weren't particularly partisan Obama critics or supporters but they would show up to rip him on immigration. Myself I have been consistent on these issues but I consider anti racism a non partisan issue that should be agreed on by all people in politics but unfortunately even civil rights is a left vs right.
