Progressives need a better answer to why it takes forever to build shyt to comply with their pet issues. This isn’t going to cut it.
What are progressives in charge of? When did it start? What areas are they running? And how does that measure against areas that aren’t run by progressives?

Enough of your bullshyt. You’re basically a meme.

Every major city is run by democrats :dahell:

and democrats are losing population and more strict District Attorneys are being elected :dahell:

The cities stopped building and got too expensive

Attacking everything as some neoliberal rebranding conspiracy is missing the point.

TMR is a great listen as this is making the rounds.


I think Sam and Paul are nailing it. Read his article here:

The Meager Agenda of Abundance Liberals | Washington Monthly
Moreover, the United States has no great need to spend hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars on a high-speed rail system that would mostly serve affluent travelers shuttling between metro areas. For a fraction of the cost and time, the federal government could develop a robust medium-speed passenger rail network using existing privately owned tracks that would also provide connectivity to the cities and towns in between big metro areas—if only Washington required monopoly freight rail companies to make those tracks available.

This is absolute nonsense and marxist maniacal ravings. Look, these progressives can’t get shyt done but critique people putting up ideas. Their only plan is to lean further into more government bureaucracy and focus less on outcome. If anything, this article defends the status quo and calls it progressivism.
