You keep saying “people want this” “people want that,” and yet when I linked an article showing you that “people” don’t want centrism, you ignore it completely and provide no counter evidence at all. What you actually mean when you say “people in this country want” is “I want.”

you’re forgetting the part about how obamacare isn’t socialized medicine.

obamacare is literally capitalist privatization. it taxes people and pays private insurance companies. the liberal establishment wants that to continue, because they don’t care about working people

Youre the crazy one here. We already had an older candidate with centrist leaning policies run. Her name was Hilary Clinton. We need a bold progressive who doesn’t stand with corporate interests and fights to actually change the country unlike neoliberals that only advocate for social change (LGBT rights, climaye

The Clintons broke the Democratic Party and it will not get better until they are far gone.

Socialist policies score very well with millenials, a large portion of GenX and others. Socialist programs are THE way forward. Not Biden. No one corporatist or centrist. Hell id write-in vote for Occasio-Cortez before Id vote for Biden or any other centrist.

The centrists mentioned; Bloomberg, Steyer and Cuban would do their best service putting their vast wealth into the 50 state plan for state houses (to break the coming gerrymandering attempts after the 2020 census) and providing the flood of money needed to flip the Senate.

pendulum swings wildly back-n-forth. What is the 21st century equivalent of a dirty boots homesy-folksy nut farming nuclear tech Gov to reset US from the narcissistic greedy eg0-maniac grifter? Dunno, but we for fuckin’ hell better NOT
- choose another millionaire/billionaire business exec
- choose a 60-70 year old

I love your plan, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. The idea of recruiting Bloomberg, Steyer and Cuban to take on the Senate and the problems in the states (the Census, 270-State Compact, the new Green Deal) is truly a genius one.

Perfect. Every word here is true. Bernie could and should be the kingmaker, and by throwing his weight behind one (extremely well vetted) candidate from the get-go, he could singlehandedly prevent the anticipated clusterfuck of having 25 candidates in a primary. If Warren (who’d be 70 in 2021) would join him in

How many dead children does the Affordable Care Act cancel out?

Tim Wise said it best after Scalia died: “Speak no ill of the dead” really ought to be amended to “Speak no more ill of the dead than the ill they caused while among the living”. With truly vile people, that gives you plenty of leeway indeed.

There’s nothing quite as breathlessly willing to take a big gulp of fresh right-wing extremist piss in the mouth as neoliberals.

I think it’s fair to say that you could easily swap out “Ronald Reagan’s Vice President” with “Director of the CIA,“Chairman of the Republican National Committee,” or “Texas Oil Tycoon” and still be accurate.

ctrl + f “CIA”

Are there any recent Presidents that don’t qualify as evil? American policy is pretty full of bombing children as collateral damage and selling arms that get used inhumanely, as well as being friends with shitty repressive governments, and bailing out the rich with policy or tax cuts. How many dead children does the

RESPEC A DEAD! is the only thing more powerful then RESPEC A TROOP!

But look at the Republicans - they just do what they want and ask questions later. These things have led to religious exemptions for pharmacists, anti-choice statutes, voter suppression tactics, the list is endless. They accomplish those goals by approaching the situation boldly. I’m never going to consider being

It’s cool, we’ll just (allegedly) tear it down again.

Those people don’t just fetishize the Confederacy, they actively wish it had won.

This sucks.
