  • Niche? I thought it was an idea the entire Dem group was putting forth legislation on

    There’s a difference between the Democratic base and the Democratic Party politicians who make decisions. RCV is somewhat popular among the Democratic Party politicians, it’s basically unknown of/uncared about by the base. That’s how it’s both niche, and desired by the Party. I’m sure you knew this though.

    Yes, Dems should take time during campaigns to talk about actual policy. That’s what campaigns are for.

    That’s what they do. Literally every single election.

    99% of status quo talking points are boring because our representatives are bad at their jobs.

    No they’re boring to you, because they’re not meant to appeal to you, you do not represent the majority of the Democratic base, the Democratic base is mostly middle aged college educated liberals, not hyper-online leftists.

















  • No. It was communist.

    The society itself was not communist, but It was definitely ruled by communists. Even Marx called himself and the people who followed his ideas communists, not “socialists seeking communism.” When people say a country was/is “communist,” they mean it’s being ruled by Marxist-Leninists, not that it’s achieved the hypothetical level of society that usually only Marxists are familiar with.
