    Progressives are not communists. Note even your criticisms of Bernie have never dealt with communism.

    I believe that was the whole point, they're fringe, leftist and progressives :)

    If you're lucky enough to develop a close personal bond with someone that you can't stand to be away from you'll understand. I can't explain it.

    Marriage to that person, unless you're both stupidly wealthy, is a legal means of protecting that person from harm.

    One of the few things you've said with which I whole heartedly agree.

    You don't have to feel bad for Antifa - they're not progressives. Or maybe some of them are, yes, but it's secondary. What they primarly are is anarchists, reactionnary anarchists with minimal political knowledge and an obtuse, violent mind.

    If I was asked, I'd say they "voted" for the party that won last elections, the "I didn't vote" one.

    If you add in Libertarians and Greens among others neither major political party has gotten a majority of eligible voters in a very long time

    The antifa are referred to as anarchists, but I'm not sure they are really advocating for the absence of government. They primarily seem to be against capitalism which places them as allies of the left. I doubt that most of them could define anarchism, but some of them admire Che and wave communist flags.

    What say you?

    BTW, good OP, Balto.

    There may be a link with the over-the-top sensibilities of steroid induced PC'ism...IDK, but you're welcomed to bring supporting evidence if you've got it, however, keep in mind this level of political correctness censorship is not just aimed at the right, even the left has been victim of it too...case in point, Bill Maher.

    So, yes, the planets have aligned for once and we agree on something.

    1) I like the Courier Font, invented in 1955 by Howard Kettler and later purchased by IBM for use in its Selectric Typewriters. It's one of the few and oldest royalty free typefaces and is a standard font used in both government (until 2004) and the movie industry for screenplays.

    2) No. The KKK, Nazism, and White Supremacy have a far higher body count, bar none.

    3) Why would you type a response within my quoted area?

    Why not? They seem to seek the same goals.

    You make the point I've been trying to make all along.1860 and prior was a different period of time. Why can't the Confederacy be forgiven? I know why....It's because the alt left wants to make America out as an evil nation with evil foundings. That way they can pick and choose what part of our governent to dismantle. Some are talking about Jefferson and Washington....they're next. I along with MLK still believe it is disgusting to see same sex make love on a park bench. Do you find it titillating??

    Maybe progressives aren't anarchists and anti-fa, just like the Tea Partiers aren't white supremacists.

    Literally, no one takes any white supremacy group seriously. They have zero chance at furthering their position. The fascist movement by the antifa have been pushing their agenda successfully for a while with great irony. They are far more dangerous.

    I would find it disturbing if any couple is having sex on a park bench.
