    Agreed. Another element is that the Democrat platform “allows” for a wide range of issues and progressive ideas. The controlling faction (the ones that share greed and power values with the Republicans) stifles any real change however in order to maintain power and status quo. Progressive ideals in the Republican party are a non-starter so there is nowhere else to go. Really what ought to be happening is the Republican party getting demolished for its anti-American, anti-people, anti-freedom racist and fascist actions and a more progressive party created to compete with a possibly saner and more centric and cleaned up Democratic party. Gonna have to take out the nazi trash first though.

    There are sooo many other issues (especially with foreign/wealthy interference), but it can all be done with effort and inclination. Now where did we put that box of it?
