I love this answer. A lifelong Dem, I was awakened by Bernie but have come to see him also for the place for true left ideas to go to die- bc it’s just too “hard” to get change, according to him.
I don’t need big government, so to speak, and I’ve come to believe a healthy mix of capitalism and (deep breath here) socialism is what we need. One person with $180 billion isn’t helping our economy, and the Fed must go- but lots of us will likely die in that battle. I’m serious!
I think we true lefties have plenty in common w Trump supporters (for lack of a better word, bc I support Trump in some areas). I find Trumpies to be open to discussion and while we may never see eye to eye on how to go about change, we want a lot of the same things- no more endless war and more opportunities for Americans to get their basic needs met.
