    Why’d you go with Capital ‘P’ ‘Progressive’ and lowercase ‘d’ ‘democrat’?

    If you are a Progressive, it means you run as a progressive in politics. If your a ‘progressive’, though, it means you hold progressive ideals, like women’s rights, nationalized services for people, open borders, etc.

    If you’re a ‘democrat’, it means you are a supporter of democracies, as opposed to authoritarian regimes, feudal states, or vangaurd states. If you’re a ‘Democrat’, though, it means you are apart of the Democratic party.

    Politics is case-sensitive.

        You know, based on the capitalizations, this is very goofy, where Progressives are all fighting each other and are concluding that democratic systems are the problem, which is actually fairly funny. I’m alright with that.
