(10,833 posts)At least something I've considered very important.
Progressive and Leftist are not synonymous terms. Just because one is a progressive - and I consider myself such - does not mean I have to buy into every bit of dumb that comes from radical activism, oppression theory, and the lazy regressive and reactionary anti-Westernism that's forever leaking portside.
Fetterman is a progressive who resists the dumb. And he's one of my favorite senators on account. Sometimes people get into this position where they feel like they have to placate or pay tribute to every bit of imagined grievance mustered or else be forever labeled a sinner.
Well, I rejected religious thinking when I dropped Christianity. Why would I substitute dumb ideology for it?
Fetterman's a gem.
