Why?
Couldn't stand to see your own reflection?
Hey dumbf*&^, I literally answered "why."
your methods of direct action"
Holy f*&^ you're stupid.
I don't find you laughable and pathetic because I want to avoid direct action. I find you laughable and pathetic because the "direct action" you partake in a) never works b) usually costs Dems at large electorally and c) eventually devolves into peripheral, irrelevant purity pony bulls*&^.
You're just never ready to fight for it
No, I just find people like you to be a millstone around the neck of the slim chance to achieve anything close to that.
I dislike you because you claim to be an "ally" but you're just a multi-faceted impediment. A Swiss Army knife of constant self-sabotage, perpetual blunders and endless seemingly intentionally stomping on your own d*&^.
People like you LOSE every single damn time you're elected out of disgust for the other side. Then, in record time, you disgust those same voters so much so quickly they vote for the MAGA s*&^bags again.
For good measure, you ensured the election of Trump by taking your ball and going home on election night because you thought you could be supremely smug about it afterwards; about how if only people were as moral as you they could have had your support.
Sad fact is. Instead of supporting progressives, you fled to a progressive nation where others have already fixed it and you don't have to do anything.
No, dubmf*&^, I went somewhere that aligned with my ideals better.
It's not "progressiveism" in the manner your pathetic a&& thinks it is. It's my kind of progressiveism via pragmatism.
Drugs are legal so that people don't die so often and the product isn't unregulated.
Prostitution is legal so that the workers can do it clearly and safely.
Things are more heavily regulated because it turns out cleaner food, air and water are good things.
More PTO and holidays means people aren't burned out and miserable, leading to better performance and overall societal health.
Medical care isn't prohibitively expense.
Safety nets exist because it turns out people don't commit crimes as often if they don't have to.
ect ect ect
Where I live now isn't some pie in they sky pink hair Utopia. It's just a better run version of the US.
