    Teaching a bunch of lies about American exceptionalism and how imperialism is actually good isn’t what I’d call “fact based”

    That’s a right thing, not a left thing.

    Right like how democrats in nearly all major cities increased police funding and almost none passed any meaningful reform.

    A lot of left leaning places pushed consent decrees, for example:

    https://www.chicagopolice.org/community-policing-group/consent-decree/

    But don’t remotely consider universal healthcare

    The list time Democrats had a filibuster-proof trifecta it was for about 2 months and they passed Obamacare. Since then Republicans have nullified about 40% of it.

    Preserve the status quo which I wouldn’t call a democracy.

    Except by definition it is a democracy. Like it or not, most people vote for the status quo.

      Barely.

      Not even getting into the whole voter participaton thing here. I’m just curious does that mean you consider Trump the status quo? Because he won the popular vote in the most recent election. Because if so i agree. Trump is business as usual for the US. Just going mask off. Just surprised to see a liberal admit as much.
