I was progressive when being a progressive meant you wanted universal healthcare. But now being a progressive means you’re in this unholy alliance with Islamist theocrats. You have to buy into this Orwellian worldview where Iran is fighting for liberation from oppression and American communists alone can morally lead the country despite their total contempt for the 99 percent of Americans with different opinions. The reality is progress on the left in America has never come from communists - it has come from liberals willing to build coalitions. I’m going to stick with the people on my side that aren’t cheerleading terrorism
