yes stalin did kill people, and i'm an american progressive/demsoc. are we just naming things that have no bearing on each other? ted bundy killed people. ted danson is also named ted. sorry if i seem rude right now i'm just baffled
Why pick a label with socialist in the title when you can just be a democrat?
- i don't think this is the place for me to launch into a tirade about leftist ideologies, but suffice it to say, i am also not a big stalin fan, so don't worry.
- in my mind, the democratic party is still largely ruled by corporate interests, so any "progress" made on their part is very slow-moving and inadequate. that's just my opinion though! i'm still a registered democrat, even if i refer to myself as a leftist rather than a democrat, and i vote for dem candidates in most elections, i just think it's important to value community organizing and advocacy as much as we value electoral politics.
