Rogues’ Gallery: A Sober Look at the “Progressive” Democratic Presidential Candidates

Unless someone new enters the race or one of the existing candidates is stricken on the road to Damascus, there will be no genuinely progressive foreign policy offered by either of the two major political parties in the 2020 presidential election.

Kind of like 4 different libertarians, each with their own catchy sweet to the ear with eye candy to go that are a facade to capturing supporters. Their end game leading back to the same store the old music and bitter tarts come from.

Well it is a review of the democratic candidates after all. But even yet, right there in part of the lead it states "Unless someone new enters the race or one of the existing candidates is stricken on the road to Damascus, there will be no genuinely progressive foreign policy offered by either of the two major political parties in the 2020 presidential election." so not so much. I think Trumps record pretty much speaks for itself. And if you want to throw in the new challenger of his, he has pretty much the same record.

@William_Mary What do you mean by progressive foreign policy?

@EdEarl well the current direction of that social label would lead us to believe it is used for those who tend to lean further to the left. Somewhere between a bit left of center, somewhere, to being a socialist. So it really depends on just who proclaims to be a progressive. Personally for me it would be a matter of world unification in developing trade and job creation, equally towards given need. Which would cut cost, waste, and pollution in trans-global transportation. Which would also eliminate the need for tribal warring over resources and false narratives towards regime change and power structuring. Then the world could concentrate on real issues of terrorism and illicit drug trafficking rather than having them created falsely for the survival of capitalism and a fake world market system. But then I'm just one of the few socialistic minded people who want free stuff. The term progressive, sadly, is in the process of being distorted by those who set the narrative for labels of society today. Which is why when ask this question, ummm or well, is usually the first sound that comes from between the the lips of that who is asked now. Clinton gave us a good example of this. And Sanders can't even describe what a real democratic socialist is. Because he isn't one. Being he's a war mongering military complex regime change kind of guy.

On a side note. I can't speak what the writer in the article means by progressive. As a reader I can only take it as I feel it adding my interpretation to it. Or as the proclaimed candidates interpret it. As with republicans see conservative and the democrats see democracy completely different than I do. Being what they do with these words is nothing to the means I understand the words. I'll throw the term "free market" in there for shits and giggles also.
