So I guess it is safe to assume that you will continue to campaign for the GOP during the 2018 mid terms. It can't hurt to read the DNC's policy platfrom which barely changed afters Sanders ran, yet is nearly identical to the policies he ran on during the primary somehow... This has to mean something to you. You can't say what is not progressive and what is if you don't understand economics and look at the specifics of policy positions and wording, you can't. I implore you, if you actually care, study some economics and public policy making on Coursera.

These are very complex subject matters, and you shouldn't assume you know all of the complexities of these subjects because you read an eloquently written blog that confirmation biases your views.
