    prog vs dem, or we can unite to actually take on an external foe

    This.

    Started seeing progs refer to dems as “demoncrats” and now I legitimately can’t tell them apart from MAGA online half the time.

    You are the epitome of the suppressed class war you constantly criticize for being in favor of in-group fighting. At least try to remember who your real enemies are.

      Leftists support moving onto socialism, democrats support maintaining capitalism and imperialism. This is a fundamentally irreconcilable difference, and is why leftists opposing the democrats isn’t infighting, it’s just fighting. It’s entirely different from MAGA, which also wishes to perpetuate capitalism and imperialism.

        And what about what middle America wants? The voters, you know, that we have to get? “Socialism” is a non-starter for people outside of NYC.

          Middle America has a lot of unmet needs, with a horrible health care system and food insecurity. Most will gladly embrace anything that may help.

          What many see as crazy politics is a desperate attempt to latch onto anything remotely promising.
