Ralph Nader - "Stay Silent and Stay Powerless Against Trump's Tyranny"

[Cirsium]

231. No, not really

The Republican party has increasingly used bigotry and fear mongering in their campaigns. That is the change, not the Democratic party moving to the Left.

Don't let the right wing media tell you how to think politically. The culture war issues are all manufactured by the right wingers. That is just a tactical move, it isn't their real agenda. It is a means to an end.

Famous right wing attorney the late Ted Olsen, a member in the Reagan and Bush administrations, argued in favor of same sex marriage in front of the Supreme Court. He saw no inconsistency between right wing ideology and same sex marriage. There isn't any.

Their real agenda is to privatize and militarize everything, to cripple and abolish the public sphere, to steal and exploit the public wealth.

That is the right wing agenda. To be on the Left means opposing that agenda. The Democratic party leadership has been steadily moving to the right on that.
