How Many Progressive Republicans Do You Know?

[JoeOtterbein]

And how many Progressives do you know that vote Democratic every election?

Regardless, thank them all for proudly voting for the Democratic party!

1. Isn't progressive republican an oxymoron?

[JoeOtterbein]

2. I'm thinking not because I'm hearing of lots of party switching tonight from R to D...

...and I celebrate all of thee!

16. I have a friend who is progressive in her attitudes, but always votes republican.

Her reason. "I have always been a republican."

She voted for Biden, with all-repub down ticket, only because of Trump's vile obnoxiousness in the first debate.

She believes in universal health care, fighting climate change, better income distributions, LGBTQ rights, etc.

She's a very loyal friend to my wife and me, but I think she gets confused sometimes.

19. That's just crazy. I do not understand that.

An anti-RINO?

[Earthshine2]

20. She votes republican because she *is* a republican.

It's the only explanation she provides.

17. Actually, ALL republics are morons.

Oh, wait, I may have missed something in your question....

3. That would be an oxymoron.

What you have are a bunch of defected republicans, possibly concerned about their money? After all, Tяump is unstable.

4. Or a flip.

Lots today, many tomorrow. Dem registration wave coming. Stay tuned!

5. I live in Texas. We don't have Progressive Republicans.

edit: I feel like I tell people I'm from Texas a lot.

7. They are out there. I know, I live in there here in York, Co PA the heart of America and the dead...

...red soul of the *rump/gop.

11. Wherever they are, I bet they have a pet Chupacabra.

[lagomorph777]

18. Yup - his name is "Donald."

[ornotna]

6. Well.....

There's Theodore Roosevelt. Other than that

[JoeOtterbein]

9. Shame he can't vote!

When we need him the most!

8. Many people who claim to be progressive are right wing trash like Glenn Greenwald

In fact the rose twitter trash is complaining about Trump being banned from social media while attacking Democrats.

[JoeOtterbein]

10. The operative term then is; "claim to be". nt

[George II]

15. Yes, the operative term is "claim to be".

[betsuni]

12. Yes, claiming to be "progressive" ... doesn't mean anything anymore.

And using that word to attack Democrats as not progressive is ridiculous.

13. I knew two

One was a friend of my dad‘s who served briefly as a Senator from New York. His name was Charlie Gooddell, a real prince of a guy. Nixon and Agnew hated his guts, which in itself spoke highly of him.

The other was a vet who came to minor fame as an uncomfortable radio announcer in Saigon during the Vietnam War. We didn‘t become friends until some thirty years later. An entertaining, but completely inaccurate film was made about him, and then his name was well-known, but not the man, himself, who was (surprise!) nothing whatsoever like the movie portrayal of him. His name was Adrian Cronauer.

14. I don't know what you're driving at, but how do you feel about "progressives" who proudly....

....do NOT vote for the Democratic Party?
