Should the Democrats Become More Progressive?

When Democrats say Progressive, they mean Socialist. Their fascism is creepy to watch. Their efforts to dismantle our economy, social fabric and civil rights are blatant and uninhibited.
There's no way to miss their true intentions toward the United States now. So sure, be more "progressive". It can only serve to clarify the battle between capitalism and socialism, freedom and fascism.
At least people who vote Democrat cannot claim they don't know that the DNC represents the wholesale betrayal of our nation and the American people. If anyone forgets, they have only to go to the airport for a TSA scope n' grope. Nothing says "owned" like passively enduring the public sexual degradation of randomly selected men, women and children at the hands of government thugs.

Absolutely Democrats should be even FURTHER left than they already are. After all, the most liberal senator (3 places to the left of the avowed socialist, Bernie Sanders) as president, the 2nd most liberal senator as vice president, the Speaker of the House from the most liberal, gated enclave of San Francisco, has only driven this nation halfway off the cliff in 2 years. They must push even harder to accomplish Saul Alinsky's goal and Cloward-Piven's goal and George Soros's goal of anarchy to pave the way for their designated frontman Urkel Mugabe to impose their utopian world vision for the world because they know best and we peons must be goaded into submission. Besides, conservatives only make up 42% of the American population and liberals 21% (35% are moderates), so it only stands to reason that living in their political bubbles the way they do where they never actually bump into a conservative all day, that they SHOULD govern.

The only step left for them to take before reaching the outer limits of left-wing extremism would be to unionize all child molesters. Oops, I should've waited until the lame duck session was over...sorry kids...

Yes, More progressive is the answer. If the West is ever going to escape the Communistic fate which lay ahead of it the Democrats must become more progressive than they have already become. Only the national spectacle of the catastrophic failure of the progressive destruction of the once free and prosperous American republic will fully awaken the American people into a people willing to take responsibility for their liberty and squash this Progressive (read Communist) movement that has been bleeding the West for the last 100 years.

I'd like to see Progressive Republicans get some spine and return to the progressive values of Teddy Roosevelt.
Being progressive isn't partisan, but it is an American value that has shaped our country to being the great country that it is. Our Founding Fathers were the originally progressives, bringing the ideals of the Enlightenment to the practical creation of a progressive government - the United States of America.
Yes, Democrats should be more progressive - as opposed to the reactionary nonsense of right wing conservatives. Conservatives who seem happy to see America decay and lapse to a 3rd world country, all for the sake of greedy scumbags who don't want to invest in America.

Democraps are already Communists, how much further left can they go?
But as long as there are ignorant, poverty stricken, rejects of society & degenerates, the democraps will have a base............ and give illegal's a vote.

Books the privately-employed American taxpayers should read --- just because Barak Hushpuppy OhBummer has criticized them publicly and doesn't want you to read them ---
Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal
The Virtue of Selfishness
The Fountainhead
Atlas Shrugged
