    my stepdad is a pro-union Catholic conservative who def mostly votes Republican to save the fetuses, youll be ok. This is much better than what it could be. Also shows there at least a chance he could get closer to Bernie than centrism.

      My parents almost entirely the same. They at least walk the walk on the pro-life thing and vote for universal healthcare and anti-war candidates too sometimes (in addition to the charity and volunteering they do). But they mostly check the R box at the end of the day because of the fetuses. It could definitely be much worse. I’m almost positive they both voted third part in 2020 after almost assuredly voting Trump in 2016, but I do think Bernie might have been able to get them both times.

    I don’t live in the US but I was under the impression TYT are social democrats, is this wrong? I feel like if social democracy caught on as a thing in the US that would be a major objective good.

      The most annoying part is that he keeps insisting they’re non-biased (despite that being impossible) because they criticize both Joedolf Bidler and drumpf.
