    Is the progressive change to the Democratic party in the room with us right now, post–2024 presidential election? It seems many believe the lesson is “drop social issues” when that wasn’t even mentioned at the DNC. They’re also adapting a harder stance towards immigration while not bulging on economic issues.

      The party leadership is adopting that stance because they hate progressive politics more than they hate fascism. The thing is though, Americans are seeing who is out there speaking to them directly and who is actually putting up some kind of fight against the encroachment of fascism and who is just standing by and allowing fascism to spread, or in some instances apparently actually buddying up with fascists. It’s the progressives who are showing that they actually care about the people, while the mainline party leadership sits back and allows Trump to destroy the American state.

      More and more Americans are going to have their eyes opened to who exactly is running their party and to whom their allegiances lie–that being the wealthy and powerful, not the people.
