No, we’re not like MAGA. I can’t speak for everyone in this case, I am sure there are some who will take it too far. That’s part of the nature of divisiveness. That said, let me make a list of what those on the left do agree on:
- Universal healthcare
- Positive, even progressive, policies and direction
- Federal support of the 4-day work week
- Stronger emphasis and follow-thru on climate change
- Ending the war in Ukraine (not to the disadvantage of the Ukrainians or advantage of Putin) and the situation in Gaza
- Slashing of the military budget (goes alongside universal healthcare)
- Liveable wages and reasonable new childcare leave for any parent
- Affordable education
- Affordable life-saving drugs/life-changing drugs such as anti-depression meds AND universal acceptance of therapy
- Businesses, owners, CEOs, and the billionaire class being held accountable
- Trump. Prison. NOW
- Increase on 1% taxes
- Women’s reproductive rights
- Minority rights
- Gerrymandering limitations or outright ban
- Burning down the electoral college
- More than two viable political parties
I’m sure some stuff is missing. Ya’ll have to forgive me, I did my best off top of my head.
Somewhat more controversial is how some of us are tired of averting our eyes and turning our gazes away. Moreover, the Republicans play dirty. They fling shit, set fire to conversations, attempt to hide in plain sight in forums claiming to be someone else, will break laws if it means hurting someone they don’t like, and they may even attempt to overthrow a country. Let me just grab the citation on that last one.
We are not like MAGA. We are sick of the shit. I was one of the people who pushed for us to stop being so damned tolerant BECAUSE tolerance is a BIG reason why we’re where we are now. We believe in what’s on that list for the benefit of all. Republicans fight against it for the benefit of the few, and more importantly the injuring of those they do not like.
So when you call us blueMAGA. When you claim we are no better. Yeah, Homerian, we tell you to suck it, because it’s not true.
Btw, if Harris-Walz turned and started spouting MAGA bs, we’d turn on them in a heartbeat. We do not want a Trump or a MAGA in sheep’s clothing.
