If you were getting any votes at all, we wouldn’t be having this talk, would we?
Look up the Moral Majority. Back in the 1970s they jumped in and grabbed power in the GOP from the ground up.

I haven’t watched any of Trump’s speeches. I leave it to those with stronger stomachs to report for me.
You are correct and I’ll edit.
Progressive policies are popular. But progressives have done a shit job of turning that enthusiasm into political capital.
This is exactly what I’ve been trying to convey.
You realize there is a difference between ‘popular’ and ‘implemented,’ right?
Yes I do. The ACA got implemented because Obama got votes.
The agenda you want doesn’t get implemented because instead of getting out the vote, the Left manages not to get people to the polls over and over and over.
Trump is getting votes from the working class while the Left isn’t.
Politics isn’t about debating who has the best ideas, it’s about winning votes.
It’s about the votes.
Let’s turn it around.
Why don’t you list all the Progressive polices that have actually been enacted.
You must have hundreds to choose from.
Progressive policies are popular
No, they really aren’t.
The ACA barely passed when Obama had a super majority in both houses.
“The Squad” has less than six members.
Ronald Reagan is still considered a ‘good’ or ‘great’ President by 75% of the population.
About 2% of the voters consider Gaza a major issue.

Written by the author of ‘The Trouble With Tribbles,’ it came out before the first movie. Has a lot of insights into the problems with creating a science fiction show when all effects were practical or insanely expensive.
One of the best stories is the fan letter the show got from a company working on making automatic doors. The real life engineers wanted to know how the show got their doors to work so well. The producers ahd to admit it was because they had a crew of union guys doing the actual opening
A lot of people here seem to live in a Fantasy land where 95% of the US voters are well versed in Marxist ideology and the Republicans and Dems are only in power because all the Progressives are sitting waiting for the perfect candidate to emerge.
I wish I could find out where they get these ideas.
I guess that kind of thing is normal and accepted in your area.
She had the child when she was about 16 years old.
Back in the day, the Right swore that Rock-N-Roll would destroy America. Now they play Rage Against the Machine at their rallies.
The Right is always fifty years behind the times.
Back in 2004 60 Minutes commentator Andy Rooney said that if you couldn’t decide between George Bush and John Kerry in five minutes you were too stupid to have a vote.
edit = I had 2000 not 2004. credit wreel for noting it

Of course, it’s not like they are scrambling to actually try and stop the shootings…
The only reason Russia became a threat is that they had Trump there carrying their water.
Also, if Trump had the brains of a Fredo Corleone he would have realized that none of the kompromat Putin had on him would matter once he was in office. The CIA would swear up and down that it was ‘fake news.’
Just remember this : when Mitt Romney called Russia our greatest threat in 2012 the GOP rushed to his defense. A decade later they were openly admiring Putin.
TIL why so many Trump voters are obese.
Enraging people is all they seem to be able to do.
Have a great day.
