      There really isn’t a blue MAGA.

      There’s a blue leftist movement (Bernie Politics), a blue liberal movement (Obama Politics), and then there’s Red Trump MAGA…

      A lot of people in that leftist crowd don’t think Biden cares about them or that the current generation of Democrats can get anything done but they sure don’t want Trump. A lot of people in the center (including independents) don’t get the message about Biden’s accomplishments, including the Obama politics crowd (and a large part of that is folks just don’t want to have conversations like this, and the conservative media machine is very good at pushing nonsense about how Biden is ineffective).

      Hi, Im one of those people who jumps in to say “vote for democrats, because they are definitely crappy but they are significantly less crappy and dangerous for everyone not a straight white wealthy (male) christian.”

      I agree with you that America does desperately need a truly progressive alternative. But the problem is FPTP exists. Until it is gone, voters are screwed.

      I will stop posting these kinds of responses to your posts however, if you think people being alarmed about republicans and wanting to stop them is “blue maga”.

      Look, this is politics and all, but blatant false equivalencies in a world of disinformation is dangerous, unenlightening, and unproductive. I’ll leave it for now, but try to be more thoughtful in the future.
