I see your comments all the time and I just want to say, thank you.

I don't have the energy or care enough to put forth the effort to try to explain these things to the brick wall that is the standard Liberal viewpoint around here. I'm just glad someone is though.

Same.

I’ll just sit out. You can’t reason with extremists.

Sorry but he's wrong. History shows every time the Dems go left, they lose. The only times the Dems win is when they go center to find voters.

(Ib4 Obama, he saw Gore lose on a progressive ticket. So he learned to stay broad and ran on "hope". His thanks for the ACA was to lose control of the house of reps for years 3-8 and couldn't do anything else.)

Take this fracking example of his.

Did the environmentalists show up for Gore? No they did not.

Did the environmentalists show up for Clinton who said she'd have a map room to fight climate change? No they did not.

Were the environmentalists going to show up for Biden after he passed green energy and ev policies? Polls said no they were not going to show up.

Harris saying she'd ban fracking is an instant loss. She and everyone advising her knows this.

You mean they actually had to get up off their arses to support what they preached?

That was too much effort for them man. Easier to bitch about a subject while sitting on the couch and complaining no one is doing anything, and when their preferred candidate loses, they have bragging rights that they are not listened to.
