In reply to the discussion: Primary Fallout : we need an actual Progressive Party [View all]Exilednight
(9,359 posts)I've ran across several replies in just this one thread where the only argument for voting for Hillary is "Trump wins if you don't vote'.
That's not an aspiring message. People want positive policy change and not just lip service. This party, and anyone who argues otherwise is tone deaf, has moved continually to the right on socioeconomic issues. We talk about bringing people out of poverty, but few have a plan to do it. We talk about universal health care, but few have a plan to do it. We talk of protecting rights and ending racism, but few have a plan to do it.
At what point do liberals say enough is enough and actually do something about it, and stop worrying about voting for people they disagree with without being blamed for the lack of the entrenched party's losses?
