Does anyone else get this vibe from "progressives"?

I'm engaging in a gross generalization and I know it, especially since most of my IRL friends/coworkers would be considered to have "progressive" politics and generally don't act this way, but would you agree that there is a certain Debbie Downer type of progressive? The type of progressive who has no life outside of politics, and can't find joy in anything because there's always some type of "exploitation" going on?

There�s nothing progressive about the human race, it�s the same old those with power at the top of the see saw with the majority at the bottom holding them up with most of them unaware.

It has differect coats, but nothing has changed since the King and peasant times, apart from that the peasants have it better than before and the kings a lot better.

I agree with every word of this except I would replace human "race" with human "species"(nitpicking I know)

Nitpicking how? There's no difference between species and race.

Well, there is difference between the words, in this context it's not an issue though.

compared with the high spirits and optimism of the tea partyers?

its a basic psychological mechanism, the idea of "looming disaster", we all suffer from it. If its not a political thing for you, it is something else.

And you don't see that as a problem?

Uh, yes there is. Technically there is one human subspecies, homo sapiens sapiens.

Depending on whom you ask there are between 3 and 7 different human races.

And depends on how you use the word "race". It's used synonymously with "ethnicity" a lot.
