Which one of these views should liberals/progressives be more tolerant of:

59. Well,

"Those are conservative positions, not necessarily right wing. In other words, they can be the views of traditional Democrats who are left wing conservatives."

...that's a first: "left wing conservatives."

I think your comment implies that some Democrats are stuck in the past. Looking at Congress and candidates for office, there is absolutely no reason to embrace RW positions, other than believing one is in an area too conservative to get elected. It happens.

Still, look at how many conservative Democrats tried to run away from health care reform initially. Now even Republicans, with all the disdain they have for the law, and even while trying to kill it, are lying to people about wanting to make it work.

So let me repeat this because:

There many issues that liberals embrace and the RW reject. They're anti-immigration and deny global warming.

I mean, among those who want to address these issues, there are disagreements about how to structure policy, but simply rejecting the premise is RW.

Forget facts. Forget science. Forget strengthening civil rights and the social contract.

A troll gets banned and people move from mocking "centrist/DLC/Third Way" positions to trying to justify why RW talking points should be engaged?

Most of these talking points have been thoroughly debunked. They're either bullshit spin of right out of the deprave conservative mentality.

Just because some right leaning Democratic candidate somewhere is confused, doesn't mean these points are up for debate. A woman's choice is not up for debate.

The stance of right leaning politicians has nothing to do with the role of liberals/progressives.

Winning a seat in a conservative area is one thing, but no one should convince themselves that such politicians don't eventually stand in the way of progress.

The goal is to educate and push for progress in these areas. That's the goal with every issue...choice, global warming and Social Security.
