Democrats have always been like that so DINO doesn't make sense. Progressive is the only label that aligns with good politics these days

Usa employers did the math they fire most full-time employees and reduce staffing and only hire part-time workers walmart back in 2011-13 when I worked there only had 8-10 full time employees which were managers and even some department managers would only get 32 hours a week to avoid giving benefits or health insurance. Every one i knew who were full time worked there for 10 + years. Even if you increase minimum wage they will find ways to reduce costs in staffing so you really need to penalize companies

She Ronald Reagened the UK she usher in the privatization of public services. She believed sacrificing social good for economic gains and she was a bit of a dick and unapologetic the whole time

"I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand "I have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!" or "I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!" "I am homeless, the Government must house me!" and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations." -Margaret Thatcher

Less of the annoying kid more of an annoying teacher, admin, and staff. Like peer pressure and desire to follow along made me do it but the teacher and the staff couldn't explain why we should and that made me question it and leading me to consider the kid right

Because they have always been win. Evil never sleeps and it will always exist. Good people have to fight every day to make progress. Perfect example is Bernie sanders and democrats. Bernie has been fighting since the 70s. Democrats have been it is good enough things are fine just defend the status quo. Meanwhile people are working everyday to setup bad things with currently things reaching back as far as Clinton and people can argue Reagan.

Evil never sleeps and is constantly working to undermine peace. Lots of people are honestly mediocre or middle of the road once things are good enough they stop fighting. There has only ever been a few good people fighting. People deep in community actively doing good things.

So if we had a truly progressive party in power conservatives job would be saying can we afford this, what would the impacts be, why do we need to do this thing, why is the status quo not good etc etc. Then they are suppose to listen to reason, trial out big changes, adapt, and let the future go forward making sure the small man and traditionalists aren't left behind.

Instead conservatives are about changing the climate, culture, and environment to hurt others or hold back common sense things that make people equal.

You process food by washing, cutting, or cooking your food. Processed isn't being used properly to scaremonge people. Over processed or ultra processed food is the worriesome stuff
