    Eww it smells like Tankie in here.

    I fail to see how ā€œTaxing the Richā€ is the same as ā€œTaxbreaks for the Richā€ but I donā€™t feel the need to defend myself to people who shill for Putin.

        Hi, Iā€™m a Libertarian Socialist. I think itā€™s extremely damaging to act as though thereā€™s little difference between progressive liberals and conservative liberals. Whether we like it or not, in America progressive liberals are our allies against fascism. Furthermore, the less bigoted conservatives are our allies against more bigoted conservatives. Being in favor of the police is bad. Being in favor of corporations is bad. Liberals believe and do so many bad things that itā€™s disgusting. But yā€™know whatā€™s worse than having stupid ideas on tax policy? Shutting down the right to protest, killing minorities, and making it illegal to be trans. Donā€™t pretend theyā€™re equally as bad; people are getting tired of it for good reasons.

          Thatā€™s funny, cause the ā€œprogressive liberalsā€ in the US put a fascist dictatorship in charge of my country.

          And whatā€™s even more funny is that it doesnā€™t even narrow it down to a continent.

            Iā€™m sorry to hear that, but I have no way of verifying what you claim. Furthermore, it doesnā€™t change the calculations because I canā€™t think of a sufficiently contrived way for putting a conservative liberal or an out-and-out fascist in the place of the progressives could have possibly made the situation better.

          I think itā€™s extremely damaging to act as though thereā€™s little difference between progressive liberals and conservative liberals.

          These two groups wouldnā€™t be in the same political party if we used Ranked Choice voting or something similar.
