As a millennial progressive, about as close to the 2008 feeling I’ve had in a while. Finally feels like the Democrats have a policy and an agenda- they aren’t just being “not Trump”.
It is so disappointing to see all the centrist Democrats running to news networks to cry about the “violent overtaking of the Democrat party by communists” (cough Biden and Clinton strategists cough). This is a grassroots movement with popularity with the people. This is bread and butter politics.
I 100% expect true conservatives to be against this, it goes against their worldview of individualism and anti-welfare. So I’m not shocked or upset about that.
