(2,809 posts)If normalcy still places us only on a slower road to climate disaster, doesn't propose radical long term planning and monumental diversification of fossil fuel industries, then it is the moderates that are in denial of reality and consequences.
If moderates are mostly interested in what protects their assets without a strong social component to this democracy, then it's more of "plutocracy lite", supporting industries who've automated and cannot provide anything but dead-end mostly low wage service sector jobs.
You've adopted the right wing meme of "they want free stuff" from the rightward shift this whole country has suffered.
It is those very demands that makes for compromise, helps fund education, no not "free" education but funds, not crumbling buildings and crushing student loan debt.
Without the left's demands for distributive policies, I see moderates all too happy with status quo.
I'm getting so tired of the only welcoming party to the left increasingly bashing the left. Thank you Fox News.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
