I think it is long past time to write an epitaph for the "Progressive Movement." "Long arc of history" libs, epitomized by the Congressional Progressive Caucus. There is no need for the intelligence agencies to run ops when these people gladly elect billionaires, fighter pilots and intelligence agents in an effort to out-do the chuds demonstrating loyalty to the empire as an electoral strategy.

i think when people discuss oldish-school “progressivism” in the future, they will consider the proud Iraq veteran with a giant Nazi tattoo calling himself a progressive as the point at which the movement was definitely 1000% dead

Personally, I think it’s more accurate to say Graham Platner dug up progressivism’s dessicated corpse and is puppeteering it around with sickening glee
