      Yeah, except progressive positions are broadly popular. Raising billionaire and corporate taxes? Popular. Single-payer healthcare? Popular. Universal Basic Income?Popular. Bernie Sanders? Still pretty fucking popular!

      Meanwhile, how popular was the flaccid centrist platform the Democrats put up this year? Is Kamala gonna be president? Are they gonna keep the Senate? Is the house looking good? No? Then maybe it’s time for all the popularity experts in the Democratic party to shut the fuck up.

        And yet the party that runs exactly contrary to all those issues just won the election… Polls are great and all, but polling the general population and polling likely voters and exit polls are all very different things lmfao.

          I’m just so fucking tired of hearing why the policies that I and most of the country want are unpopular from people who can’t win a fucking election.

            Yep. Maybe whenever we’re allowed elections again we’ll have a candidate with polices that people like. Thanks Harris!
