      Young Democrats are mostly progressives and don’t like it when you call them liberals. But yes, their votes for Biden are what will keep Trump out of office.

        They don’t? That’s weird, I’ve never heard of that

          Progressive and liberal are two very different things. Fox News and the US political discourse/Overton Window has classified anything left of the GOP as “liberal,” but in reality it means “center right.”

          There are many progressives on Lemmy that love to identify wedge issues for no reason other than to designate the difference between progressives and liberals. I’m all about being on one team against the right, but I was trying to be respectful of those who don’t want to be mislabeled.

      I have come to the conclusion over the last few months based on things people have said they expect Biden to do that they aren’t worried about a presidential candidate who says he will be a dictator because they think that presidents are already dictators.
