It was a translation... I clearly noted such.
Nah, you're the voice of the "Brave New Democrat Party"... They threaten half of America, you know those folks that used to be opponents and are now considered "the enemy", with things like "not allowed into civil society" when what they really mean is they really wish that the guy who wanted to shoot a SCOTUS Justice they disagreed with was successful rather than arrested and that he continued on with more of "the enemy"....
You are the new Onceler, you speak for the Brave New Democrats...
Cutting back on the hyperbole just a little bit,
the two major parties are now SO distant philosophically,
that the actual politicians, not just the rank and file registrants,
interact with one another NOT as the opposition but rather as political enemies.
We see that every day. It's our world now.
That's the actual situation, Damo.
I don't think that you want to lay that on me.
A perusal of my posts will reveal that I'm anything but a "Brave New Democrat."
I don't get hung up on the "woke" social issues at all.
I'm more of an old fashioned FDR Democrat.
I'm FISCALLY progressive.
I believe in a more comprehensive, inclusive public sector
to bolster the social safety net,
and a much more highly regulated private sector
to protect workers and consumers.
Indeed, I may be the only highly partisan Democrat on this forum
who's so socially conservative and fiscally liberal.
The only so-called "social" agenda about which I'm adamant
is women's reproductive rights.
As for the "woke" stuff,
I'm constantly criticized for finding humor in racial and ethnic slurs.
