      Also imagine branding someone that is just doing the literal status quo as a maverick. Liberal media, not even once

    Fetterman is good representation of many US citizens. Mildly left wing on economics, mixed on social issues, doesn't give a shit about the actual consequences of foreign policy

    "progressive" in US politics means that you aren't a 100% neolib. If you are 80% neolib you are still progressive

    Anyone who remotely runs as a progressive in this country: "LOL PSYCH! I'M RIGHT WING!"

    Normies: "Wooooow.....this clearly is a condemnation on anything left-wing as a whole."

    Candidate in the election: I am literally Vladimir Lenin

    Candidate after the election: I am literally John McCain

    (Probably replace Lenin with Bernie Sanders or Corbyn if you're being less hyperbolic)

    This is pretty much every Democrat but you're going to hear about how he's absolutely necessary because his opponent wants to nuke the Three Gorges Dam and send every arab-American into a concentration camp.

      We’ve officially reached that point (may have always been here) but seems more blatant these days.

      Your lesser of two evils lineup, everyone!

      “I support the right of the settlers to continue their extinguishment”

      I feel like the only option now is to sit back, watch America stumble its way into WW3, and hope there's something to organize from the rubble of the world.
