I read this whole thread. The tweeter says he's describing millennial progressives.
All I can say is that I'm liberal? Left? progressive? (not sure of the modern label) and my friends of various ages who think like me ... are not isolationists. Everything that happens in the world affects everything else, even if you've never met the people. I mean, that's common sense, isn't it? Shouldn't it be normal human compassion?
I love Obama but it was obvious we should have done something for Syria. The people of Syria were asking for help.
Maybe I don't understand the label "progressive" ?
I grew up in the 1960s with a larger worldview. I don't know how you'd label me? In the old days I'd be called left-wing, but in this whole SON politics thread it sound like leftwing means something different now than it did 50 years ago.
