What you say about progressives is also true of life long democrats or multi generational democrats. These people are who the progressive organizers count on to reflexively stay “democrat” no matter what.
We all work with some of them or go to church with some.
These are people that would never nominate Obama, vote for socialized medicine, can’t stand the 300% increase in food stamp dependents, feel that the open border crap is suicide, feel that scofflaws abound due to racial games in courts and many other thing that should make them leave the democrat party — but they can’t. They can’t identify themselves as “conservative” or republican.
They have a mindset that to make that change would make them a “bad” person or a person who didn’t “care.”
The progressives love these guys who will ride their pony to the gates of hell.
“What you say about progressives is also true of life-long democrats....”
Democrat or Progressive?
Really no difference these days.
Democrats/Progressives love the obnoxious, psychotic,
adolescent, aggressive, denigrating, demeaning stance of Progressive politicians.
Maybe they they were abused as children and think that Progressive politicians are “protecting” them from a boogeyman. Whatever the case might be, the problem is not the politicians, but those who vote for them, again, and again, and again.
IMHO
