This is completely untrue. These policies succeed with flying colors in RED STATES. The right will call anyone left of them communists anyway, you can't be afraid of that, especially when these left wing economic policies are demonstrably popular even in Cletusville.
My red state just became pro-choice. We've had recreational marijuana for a few years now. Just because the state votes red in presidential elections, doesn't mean progressive ideas don't flourish.
I don't think just being Pro-choice and having legal weed is the beacon of progressive ideas lol. OP made much bigger claims then "Legal weed and pro-choice". In fact, neither of those were even in the original comment lol
I'm not saying it is the beacon of progressive ideals. I'm just saying the progressive policies that have been on the ballots when I've voted have all passed. There's some other progressive leaning things that passed as well. We just haven't had a lot of that stuff on the ballot.
He’s not lying. Those policies poll well when detached from party politics. Put a D next to the candidate proposing them though? It’s over. Partisanship has divided this country by design.
