MODERATORS
None of those advances were made with a minority of support in society. Is the argument that the populace has since become more conservative?
I think what's more likely is that people you'd consider "centrist" backed those changes. You're dead set on characterizing this "centrist" entity that you have only vaguely defined to create an enemy that doesn't exist.
I’m not sure what enemy I’ve created by pointing out progressive policies as… progressive. Even if it’s not as progressive as perhaps some would like at that time. It’s not so much of an “argument” when stating facts.
Perhaps clarify what point you’re attempting to make.
Don't be dishonest, you did more than that. The enemy you're creating is the "evil centrist". Your own example does not support that simplistic view.
Achievements like Civil Rights didn't come about because just a small part of the "left" pushed for it. It came about because the majority of the left stood for it. So no, you don't get to take all the credit and YES, you're splitting the party for no discernable reason.
All I’m saying is the left is the party of progress, period. It’s literally what we stand for. So if you feel like a villain choosing something in the middle of progress and whatever the conservatives are trying to, well, conserve, then perhaps that’s a you issue to work out.
You’ve made a lot of random clams that makes me think you’re confusing comments, so I’m really not sure what argument you’re trying to make anymore, it seems you are infuriating yourself.
