Why should progressives get treated worse by democrats than republicans do? You're acting like progressives are instigating here.
The messaging to progressives is "You will shut up and vote as we order you. We will never listen to your concerns and we will blame you for every loss we earn."
The messaging to republicans is "Ok, who do we have to throw under the bus to get your support, Mr. Cheney, sir?"
Yes, progressives are treated worse. Your gaslighting is predicated on a ridiculous lie and I will not be interacting with someone who insults my intelligence as harshly as you just did.
So, you've gone from telling ridiculous lies about how rejecting progressives and kissing republican ass is somehow treating progressives better than republicans. When you were called on it, you acted like you said nothing of the sort, and now you're sealioning.
I don't want to talk to such distilled dishonesty anymore. It's bad for the soul to be reminded you exist.
So the party treats progressives worse than it does republicans, then?
As soon as I ask a question you know the answer to, but don't want to answer. At least you've finally accepted that I don't want to interact with you, now that it's convenient.
Too bad it won't last.
If you seriously expect me to believe, despite the past dozen years, that democrats treat republicans worse than they treat progressives, you have been interpreted correctly.
