Most Democrat politicians are conservatives by every international standard. They are often called neoliberals.
The reason we have a corporatocracy and do not have a legitimate healthcare system is because of conservatives, many of whom are Democrat neoliberals, unfortunately. We don’t have a progressive party. We have a conservative party and a more conservative party.
We need progressive minded non-politicians to say “fuck it” and run for office. If Boebert, Gomert, and Santos can do it, literally ANYONE can.
Looking for work? Run for office. The less of a politician and more of an honest progressive you are, the more needed you are! Do it! Do it now!
