@LordShadowfire Don't you still have people like Mitt Romney hanging around? I also still perceive Biden as a bit of a Christian Democrat.

@Kwek00 Absolutely. Mitt and Joe are what I would call moderate conservatives, but what the mainstream Republican Party now calls liberals and leftists. I've literally heard someone call Biden a communist.
Similarly, I've historically been what some folks would have called a moderate liberal. I believe in taxing the rich, instead of taking away social security from the poor. I believe habitual drug users and other criminals would benefit from years of cognitive behavioral therapy instead of years of prison. I believe medical care is a right, not a privilege. For that, I'm now called a lefty extremist.

@LordShadowfire Name someone who wants to take away SS from the deserving.

@Strictgram Quite literally any Republican politician. You people keep trying to cut social security, claiming that it's increasing the national debt. That's bullshit, because social security is funded by a completely separate fund, and it enjoys a surplus every year.
Now, what about the last two talking points you brought up?

@LordShadowfire False on both counts.
