    So that’s your idea of a “progressive,” huh? Two plutocratic racketeers in over-priced suits?

      I grew up in a country that insisted these two guys were somewhere to the left of Fidel Castro.

      Show me what a True Progressive American Politician looks like, please.

        Sooooo… you don’t know who Bernie Sanders is? That’s a “progressive” - or, more accurately, an edgy liberal.

        I’m going to go ahead and assume that even here, on a (supposedly) anarchist community, I will still have to waste my energy explaining to liberals how their own ideology actually works?

          He’s the guy who spent twelve years stumping for Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris, right?

          waste my energy explaining to liberals how their own ideology actually works?

          Does liberal ideology work? Seems like its in full collapse at the moment.

            Yeah… you know that thing “progressives” were doing right up to the election?

            Does liberal ideology work?

            You’ll know when it stops working - you’ll see liberals roll out the red carpet for fascists while pretending they cannot do anything to stop them. Do you see anything like that happening now, perhaps?

              Buddy, lol you can put your guard down. The person you are replying to is not arguing in favor of liberalism, they are being facetious and that picture was posted in jest.

          He was a socialist, not an American leftist. He was a goddamn dirty commie that the FBI tried to get him to commit suicide. And libturds like to whitewash’s ass. Martin Luther King was killed by the FBI. Then he was paraded around as a mascot for neoliberalism and the libturds. The Empire made him a mascot and gave him a holiday. In Empire, you have many holidays, gladiator games, and idols to worship.

        Your post makes me think you somehow believed them…
