    It’s not conservative, it’s fucking regressive.

    I mean, Liberals aren’t particularly liberal and far too many of the Progressives are barely progressive. Libertarians don’t seem that interested in liberty. Centrists can’t find the center. Plutocrats are immolating their capital. The Meritocrats are unqualified. The Technocrats are incompetent. Only the Fascists seem intent on delivering results consistent with their brand.

      The democratic party is run by conservatives that are keeping the liberals and progressives in check. The republican party is so far off the deep end we need a new word for what they are.

      I don’t disagree. The world liberal is wasted on the Democratic party. They’re not liberal. They’re just the only valid opposition to the Nazis. Even if their policies are conservative.

        I think you’re asking “opposition” to do more heavy lifting than it can bear in that sentence.

        They’ve rolled over so fast and so frequently that I’d hardly call them “opposition” without prefixing it with “controlled”.

        The most influential force in Democratic Party leadership right now is Bitcoin Banks, ffs. They’re fully rotten.
