I'm about to become wildly unpopular ...

313. Lol, you nailed them. They're LW anti-establishment populists.

They masquerade as progressive because that's what Democrats vote for, and socialists because that ideology draws more votes on the far left.

But in 2016 they proved they're populists motivated by negative anti-establishment antagonisms, not progressive or socialist builders, when they threw the nation to to the RW's own fascistic anti-establishment populist movement. They had to know it was far more powerful than theirs, but their actions say they found that preferable to continuing among the fringes of the free voters of a liberal, progressive democracy.

2016's still ongoing, but we're just going to have to stomp their dreams again, on our way to defeating the Republicans, because it's the fate of extremists to lose when things go right for nations as a whole.

There. That's positive.
