Well, I wonder if the left progressives could perhaps take over another country, kind of like what Putin is doing.... they could have a few spots in South America. Venezuela for one. They keep wanting to change the US but really..... really. Start your own country with your crummy ideas and totalitarianism.

The "move to ______ if you don't like it" is a horrible idea, though I suppose this is intended a joke. Quite seriously, why should any country, including Venezuela, have to suffer rule by communist idiots like these? It was an extremely free and wealthy country in the 90s. Let's think bigger. Nobody should be moving anywhere to be free, let alone further enslaved.

I'm moving to Mars, if Elon will have me. When I say this out loud, people reply "Ron, it's a bit late for you to be moving back home, especially since your ma is dead, have you forgotten."

Democrats aren't left, nor are they progressive. They're the faux-left wing of the corporate uniparty. They co-opted the term "progressive" because it was popular and that is one of the many ways they keep the real left out of power.

I happen to be a actual left progressive, as are many/most on the WayOfTheBern subreddit, which is constantly under attack from DNC trolls and brigades for the crime of allowing Trump supporters to talk and questioning Democrat party narratives/refusing to vote blue no matter who. There were calls for us to be banned from reddit, esp after they shut down TheDonald and we created a special thread just for them to use until reddit reinstated them. We were also featured in the WaPo as a "Russuan" disinformation front--an accusation still made by various DNC trolls.

Seriously, the only people the DNC hates and fears more than Trumpers are actual progressives.

When the labels are dissolved and we speak freely across the fence with a policy focus, the "left" and "right" down here on the ground have a lot in common on the big issues like free speech and censorship, even if we disagree on other issues.

Venezuala, Cuba, North Korea? They could emigrate.
