      You support a regressive Libertarian candidate over the most progressive candidate since FDR. And a Kremlin stooge. And a nutbag billionaire. Got it.

        the most progressive candidate since FDR

        by what standard?!

        dude literally voted against gay marriage; gays in the military; permanent student loans; advocated against gays in federal service; racial integration; sexual harassment claims; blocked access to non-american social media platform; and blocked americans from affordable electric vehicles.

        was it the one law that passed decades after it was no longer an issue and, not only did nothing, but gave bigots legal protection for their bigotry?

          dude literally voted against

          Presidents do not vote on anything. I said he was the most progressive PRESIDENT since LBJ/FDR.

          by what standard?!

          Raising taxes on corporations. Wealth inequality is the number 1 problem in the country. Reducing wealth inequality is the biggest thing FDR did. But also: Reducing costs of ACA and Medicare. Increasing access to health care. Lowering prices on drugs thru direct government regulation. Reducing student loans. Action on climate change. Reducing taxes on lower/middle class. That is just some of the obvious stuff.
