You're entitled to think that all Democratic ideas are Marxist.
Did I say that? If they have one that's not I'm all ears.
Wow, one strawman after another, making it about me, *and* word semantic games. This thread's got it all! :)
Not one person on this board has ever advocated for more progressive taxation, or increased financial regulation, or any actions to fight climate change, or any type of health care policy (like Medicare for All or restricting health insurance company profits)? No one's ever advocated any type of gun regulation, or revising the electoral college, or efforts to prevent voter intimidation? No one ever suggesting a path to citizenship for DREAMERs or other immigrants?
Most "ideas" expressed by the denizens of this board are things shouted in the middle of an emotional breakdown of some kind or other. Very little calmly expressed in response to a policy question. How high for taxes? What financial regulation? Fighting climate change with what?
It's the specifics that doom liberals when they try to debate actual policy as making the leap from Sloganeering to actual, codifiable ideas is very difficult for some. One of my favorites are all EV fans who forget you need to plug the things in to a wall plug and then generate/transmit/distribute power someplace...
Can't ever say zero, though, as there might be one post of out 10,000 out there. You never know. This is also the part when someone who doesn't post regularly shows up and claims that The Following Idea Was Regularly Expressed when...it wasn't.
But I think that's causing you to forget that for years and years when he wasn't President, people have been arguing with you on this board (and the predecessor) about fundamental differences in policy perspectives.
The previous board spent its time calling Bush Hitler or Mitt Romney a robber baron/abuser of dogs or something. When Biden ran for President his sole feature was that He Was Not Trump. The other trick is to dress up vague and non-specific slogans and world salads as "policy" such as "restoring norms in government" or "returning to international diplomacy". Biden's campaign was an egregious example of "returning to normalcy" or some such without defining what "normal" meant.
The truth is that when democrats open their mouths and keyboards and start talking what they really want in terms of policy, two things happen
1. Their wants collapse under the inability to discuss the specifics of the things they want, and
2. People run screaming in the other direction (because the ideas are inevitably bad)
