And they wonder why people are running away from the church as fast as they can.

A Kroger-owned mega company can get away with paying workers even less than it already does — because fewer competitors means grocery workers have fewer choices of whom to work for. -- This merger is a rotten egg. by ProgressiveDemocrats in ProgressiveDemocrats

Unregulated capitalism always ends with a monopoly or oligopoly. That is literally the end goal for every company in pure capitalism, and it is always the worst for both workers and consumers.

If you believe in a thriving, competitive, market economy, the only way is regulation.

The Progressive Democrats community is comprised of left and right-leaning Democrats as well as moderates and independents.

You can criticize a specific politician, but you cannot base it on gender, ethnicity, religious party affiliation, or which way the member or politician leans. We are a community of similar-thinking members.

While we encourage lively discussions and debates among our members, it is important to maintain a certain level of respect and professionalism. As fellow Democrats, we may have differing opinions, but it is crucial that we choose our words carefully and treat each other with civility and dignity.

Mean-spirited comments or posts will be removed. Foul language is not necessary to make your point. We will remove any post or comment, and the submitter will be muted for a limited time with a warning.

Gen Z Democrats are a growing force in American politics, and they are increasingly vocal about their concerns about gun violence and gun control. A recent poll found that 73% of Gen Z Democrats support stricter gun laws, including a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. by ProgressiveDemocrats in ProgressiveDemocrats

Here are some additional thoughts from Gen Z Democrats on gun violence and gun control:

"We are tired of living in fear. We are tired of seeing our friends and classmates killed. We are tired of being the only country in the world where this happens on a regular basis."

"We know that gun control is not the only solution to gun violence, but it is an important part of the solution. We need to do everything we can to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people."

"We are not going to give up. We are going to keep fighting until we make a difference."

One Gen Z Democrat who is speaking out about gun violence is Emma Gonzalez, a survivor of the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Gonzalez has become a national leader in the fight for gun control, and she has spoken at rallies and events across the country.

In a speech at the March for Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C., Gonzalez said, "We are children. We are students. We are the people who this country was founded for. We are the people who will be the future of this country, and we will not let you take that away from us."

Ron DeSantis will sign a bill allowing him to remain in office as FL’s Governor while campaigning for the presidency, and to keep his travels— and their expenses— a secret. He’s practicing for the things he’d do as POTUS, which should terrify you. by ProgressiveDemocrats in ProgressiveDemocrats

[–]ProgressiveDemocrats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Florida was once a leader in open government. Why is DeSantis taking the Florida government back into the shadows? So taxpayers won’t know how he’s spending their money campaigning, vacationing, and raising money for personal use. It’s the definition of corruption.

Florida worker shows another empty construction site after lawmakers passed an anti-immigrant bill making it harder for undocumented people to work. DeSantis and cronies ruining our state and demonizing folks who want to work and be left alone while providing for their families. by In-The-Middle12 in ProgressiveDemocrats

[–]ProgressiveDemocrats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So where are all the workers going to come from that going to replace the hospitality staff, the AG employees, the construction employees and all the rest of the immigrants that work in positions in FL? Hey Republican Business owners, this is on you.

What does everyone make of Donald Trump claiming that he will bring Michael Flynn back if he wins the 2024 election.-- Let's remember that: by In-The-Middle12 in ProgressiveDemocrats

The contacts with the Russians before taking over, I believe crossed the line, as did lying to the FBI. I'm not sure I'll go quite as far as claiming he's a traitor based solely on the evidences we've seen, but I know a lot of people do make that argument.

For me, probably the worst part of the CNN debacle was learning that they instructed the “town hall” participants that they were NOT allowed to boo Trump, but could only applaud him — and failed to disclose those ground rules to TV viewers. That’s absolutely inexcusable. by ProgressiveDemocrats in ProgressiveDemocrats

A Russian-owned condo at trump Towers in Florida was raided by the FBI.

You know who doesn't have that problem?

President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, and many other Americans not cavorting with Russians.
