  • But we got several paragraphs dedicated to sane washing Trumps policy. This is how the media help elect Trump. They had a choice here. Trump calls for domestic violence, you write an article talking about domestic violence rates, give polling info on attitudes towards domestic violence, give party legislative history on domestic violence, talk about Trumps history with violent rhetoric and his own accusations of being violent with his wife. You don’t dispense of it in the first two paragraphs then spend the rest giving Trump a sane washed campaign ad.







  • No, I have a lot of experience in liberal organizations and they are not, despite the memes, closer to conservatism than progressivism. It honestly makes me feel like most people on lemmy have never really worked with liberal groups.

    The major differences between a liberal and a social democrat or progressive comes down largely to deciding when a market has failed and when to use government intervention, both Liberals and progressives are fine with intervention, only the threshold changea. We want the same things, mostly, but disagree on how to get them.

    Conservatives, philosophical Conservatives anyway, won’t typically even consider such a thing, and often do not even want the same things as Liberals or progressives.

    This both sides same stuff just hurts progressive causes, because it sours mushy people with little to no real philosophy on voting for liberal parties. Those people flip flop back to Conservatives when they get angry and we lose the progress we’ve made, as is about to happen in Canada.
