I used to consider myself a progressive, then I realized just how ridiculously counter-productive the rhetoric and motives of progressives were.
A progressive will look at a role call vote for paid sick leave where 49 Democrats vote Yes, and 44 Republicans vote No, and then propagate a narrative that's it's the big bad Democrats and their handlers fault for all of our problems.
Progressives today are not like the ones in the past, the ones who actually cared about creating change and recognized the little wins in society. Today they just want to blow up the system and actively encourage anyone that's not a complete facist Republican to bring it all down with them.
It's funny that whenever Democrats control any part of government and things don't always pan out for the best, progressives and conservatives can collectively come together and spew the "bOtH sIdEs" argument. If I didn't know any better I'd think you were a conservative masquerading as someone on the left, that's just how bad it looks from a liberal perspective.

The rest of the country hasn't figures out circles yet? They seem kind of intuitive.

Meaningless and self defeating statement. Only a bureaucracy like modern education could produce.

Oh sure, they got a raise and a single sick leave usage, but you seem to be narrowly avoiding addressing the part where that bill the democrats voted for also illegalize rail striking, completley stripping the workforce of any bargaining power.
That is the most anti worker shit imaginable. Nothing you say can ever justify that disgusting show of corporate loyalty from the supposed "mostly pro union ever president".
Your attempts to downplay it just so you don't have to face the fact that your party is anti-worker is, to put it nicely, pathetic. Your concern with being on the winning team outweighs your desire to actually see anything improve, and it sickens me.

Because the kids don't care. You're seeing one of the incredibly rare cases of Mass Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy.
Everyone crying "think about the children" as an excuse to not wear PPE has the emotional capacity of a toddler and will use literally anything as a springboard to talk about their own feelings.

If we could afford to buy in Boston don't you think we would? That's the whole point of why we need more housing.

My second favorite is when a rotary feeds into a very busy intersection with traffic lights, causing the rotary to back up and be unuseable for those going in other directions (looking at you, Medford High St/Winthrop St rotary).

No, its not.
The democrats are corporately owned capitalists masquerading as a progressive party by having their only competition be a party so far right that its teetering on literal fascism.
They take their orders from the same rich cabal who owns the republicans. They're puppets controlled by the same set of oligarchist hands.

That’s a bingo. Been a problem for years. From my experience seeing my child’s school , it has been magnified by lack of retention.
