All I hear is them bitching and moaning about capitalism and that socialism is better. Tax the rich...tax tax tax.

We tend to focus on the economic issues with the left. But I think the most damage they've done is to convince a large portion of Americans that freedom of speech needs to be limited. There's just too much 'misinfo, disinfo, hate, etc.' They did a lot of speech banning on Twitter when Dems in the White House contacted the lefties that ran Twitter. Just look at what has happened to free speech in Europe.

They gave us Teddy Roosevelt.

Eta: this is obviously a dad joke.

Destroy black families & get minorities dependent on the government.

To them, those are great accomplishments.

They’ve made it great at corruption, filth and no self-accountability.

If you’re looking for “great” as in good things, it’s gonna take awhile to try and think anything Progressives have contributed in that respect.

Literally nothing that benefits all Americans. They tend to cater to misfit island dwellers. Amazing that 50% of the country agree with them.

They have clearly shown us who the domestic threats are to our country.

They used to hide in plain sight, now they have major platforms to spew their foolish anti-capitalist, anti-America bullshite.

Well, there’s the whole Progressive Era around the turn of the 20th century. That was a pretty big deal. I’m not sure if this board has even heard of it, and even if they have, y’all probably think it was communism or too woke or something.


The life expectancy of the average American almost doubled from 1900 to 2000. The reasons for this are almost solely attributed to emergence of the regulative state that conservatives have usually denounced and are actively trying to dismantle.

Their actual goal is directly opposed to making the country great.

Dear God you are stupid, other than work place regulations, none of the inventions that have increased life expectancy were due to government regulations like penicillin, steel plow, chemical fertilizers, combustion engine, and vaccines. Y’all just make crap up to make it seem like your political views aren’t destructive. It’s why you change history and create fake holidays to fit the alternate fake reality that never existed.
