Nothing is further from the truth. There are social democrats who are fiscal conservatives. In fact, imo the party has moved closer to the center to form a consensus on certain issues. In the last 20+ years the party has moved more right than left. You still have people on the fringes, just as you do in the republican party ultra right wing and more moderate.

It only appears more liberal when viewed thru your heavily tainted, Limbaugh inspired, FOX tuned right wing perspective.

On social issues, as we have become more tolerant as a culture so too have the politics of the democratic party. Democrats have indeed become more liberal over time, particularly on questions related to race and immigration. Democrats also moved to the left on health care, Democrats have long been supportive of the government taking a more active role in health care. It’s not just Democrats moving to the left on these issues. There’s evidence that the general electorate is becoming more liberal, too.

Thats not true. Not all Democrats are extreme left wing socialists despite your beliefs.

Pretty much.

'Liberals' and even progressives in the US would be considered middle/right center in a majority of other countries, and right wing in some.

That's how 'unprogressive' the United States is.

It's okay, guys like bezos needs billions of dollars that he will never spend(yes I'm aware much of it is tied up in stocks). But a fair share of Americans(many in republican states, more so than democratic run states) are struggling to make ends meet.

I've been a fiscal conservative for 34 years, it's how I was raised. But, seeing how the status quo has not helped, I'm open to change.

Republicans don't save the country money, they just use the time and time again **failed** trickle economics that never work for more then a few years.

If at all. In never seems to trickle down, for some reason it gets stuck in 1) corporate buy backs, 2)bonuses and 3) corporate expansion.

Few years old but still valid.

So why do you feel bad police officers shouldn't be prosecuted, why do you feel protesters shouldn't protest. Funny you don't want silent protests during the National Anthem and you don't want them on the streets.

No one is saying to protect the bad cops and no one is saying not to protest. Protest all u want but don’t kill people, not destroy buildings and private property, and don’t lite stuff on fire.

What more do u guys want? The cop and his helpers were charged for the death of George Floyd. But they still want to destroy and steal things. They still want to shoot and stab the police. At what point does the chaos stop?

He cares about the people?! Yeah it shows. He gases them and sends in the police to clear them out so he can have a photo op. He cares about them by threatening violence. His offer of help is to send in the militia to take "control". Do I have that right Jorge?

---

Yes and he is showing love and compassion to the 85% of people that are tired of this pointless rioting. Too many innocent ppl are being impacted... time to get back to normal life.

Real quick. I have no problem labeling the KkK as a domestic terrorist group based on prior atrocities committed. And I am genuinely curious, when was the last time they committed a hate crime. I understand they attend rallies and such but I see them as a hate group and not so much a group killing people these days. I could be wrong and if u tell me they did XYandZ, and hurt these folks, or abducted and killed these folks, or lit this black guys house on fire... I’m right there with u... I just haven’t seen or heard of that happening in a long time.
