We disagree.  A great dad raises great kids who are independent thinkers.  This mofo is a "present" dad, but that doesn't make him any part of great.  He's fucking Ned Flanders.

Nick Saban is a good  friend of Manchin, he would indeed be a viable AL Senator if he can be convinced to run, and unlike Aldred it is logical to try "both parties are bad" in Alabama, like in West Virginia.

The only problem is that he enjoys being universally loved, I don't think he has it in him to be loathed but almost 50% of the state.

And yet when you look at his voting record graphed Liberal<-->Conservative, he was further to the center than most of his democratic colleagues in his time in the house.  And nobody give a flying fuck what "they" are going to call him. "they" call every single politician  with a D by their  name  a  socialist. 

I’m talking about his current policies. Policies he’s passed as Governor, his job right now. That’s who he is right now, not the guy who represented a conservative district in Congress pre-pandemic. I haven’t looked at that record. Right now he’s no moderate.

And yeah, I figured I’d get that response about him being labeled a socialist. But in this case they’ve got a bit of a leg to stand on. Bernie Sanders is a self-avowed socialist. (I assume I don’t have to explain the difference between democratic socialism and Marxist socialism here.) When Donald Trump says that Walz is like Bernie Sanders only not as smart, I’m sure the “not as smart” part is his own invention. He likes to call anyone who opposes him dumb. But he doesn’t know the first thing about political ideology or the political spectrum and hasn’t personally researched the policies of literally anyone. I’m sure he got the comparison to Bernie Sanders from his political advisers and it’s a fair comparison when you look at Tim’s legislative achievements as Governor of Minnesota. He’s a progressive whose policies appeal to the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party.

I think a lot of Boomers and Gen X are not used to seeing Democrats run on policies that poll well. We've become way too accustomed to Democrats negotiating against themselves, compromising for its own sake, and generally campaigning in abject fear of being called socialists. Way too used to Democrats advised by people with PTSD from the Kerry campaign.

That shit set us back so many decades compared to the social programs they have in every other industrialized country. Fucking infuriating, doubly so when asking for simply a fraction of that somehow makes you a fringe Marxist.

Believing that we live in a society doesn't make one a socialist.  Believing that we live in an amazing community doesn't make you a communist.  It makes you an AMERICAN.  Since our birth as a nation, we have come TOGETHER as a people to make this a great nation.  From the revolution to putting a man on the moon, and everything in between.

Democrats and Dem policies aren't socialist.  They are American policies.  By Americans. For Americans.  To keep America great.

Fucking heartbreakingly true.  And I too am SO glad that my 80+ year old dad never went down that hole.  Grew up reasonably Republican.  But also grew up with values and intelligence.  He saw what the party was becoming when it turned to birtherism.  He's still retrograde in some respects (again, he's 80+)....but he HATES Trumpism and the GQP and what it's done to our country.  He's a patriot.

They aren't progressive. They are moderate policies. They are completely functional and based on clear evidentiary need. They aren't throwing away old policy or resetting anything. 

Progressivism has a large major reform component to it. None of these policies are sweeping reform.

I think you're getting twisted around the axel on academic labels and definitions, and ignoring the context of our current situation. America has regressed. Policies that are, as you point out, pretty moderate and mainstream ARE progress and meaningful reform from our current state.

[wildcat09 28562]

You guys are all arguing around the fact that the “center” is actually a completely mythical thing. Most Americans aren’t super politically engaged or ideologically constrained and your average American has some views on some issues that many would reasonably consider very liberal while has views on other issues that many would reasonably consider pretty conservative. The average American’s views on many issues are also much more malleable than people tend to think and depend in large part in how an issue is presented and what those they’re close to think about it.
 

It’s not a simple line from left to right and even calling it a spectrum is implying more coherence than is really there for many people. Walz as governor has championed what pretty much anyone involved in American politics for the last forty years would say is a very progressive agenda. But those policies are popular and it’s not hard to get people who don’t see themselves as progressive to support them, if you don’t run from them because you think you have to triangulate and adopt a bunch of unpopular conservative positions to show how you’re actually a moderate.

Man, @Captainant is right. We have regressed. After years of middle class growth we have stripped ourselves backwards into another Gilded Age.

And there was a time in our history where policies like free school lunch WERE actually new and very progressive. Hell, there was a time in our history where public education was new and very progressive. People quite literally fought and died to have a weekend.  The whole idea about what is "moderate" or in the "center" isn't actually about any specific policies at all but about how most people want to view themselves. Most people aren't comfortable thinking of themselves as part of an extreme and so they don't want to support ideas that people around them who they like and respect think are extreme.

The right built up such a big right-wing propaganda machine that they managed to convince millions of people that feeding kids at school is dangerous extremism.  Tons of communities now believe that because it's what the people they trust on TV say and what their friends and family and neighbors say. But that's actually a very easy bubble to pierce and you do it like Walz has: when challenged on it you stand firm and say something like "what a monster, kids got food and now can learn!" It's easy to show there's not some great harm in feeding kids, and it's not like it's too fucking expensive.  There are all sorts of other issues like this too that the Dems should be more aggressively championing instead of running away from, but the prior generation of Democratic leadership was too traumatized from coming up under Reaganism too know how to fight.

alternatively, just get rid of lobbyists and that stupid idea that a corporation is a person which can donate to a political party. In fact, cap the total income of any politician at the poverty limit while holding office. Force them to live off of government programs just like any other poor person. That'll remove incentive for those looking to line pockets to get into politics, and force those who make laws and regulations to live under them.

One of the (very many) problems we have is that being an elected representative is actually not a good way to get ahead for yourself and your family in American society. Hell these days if you're a decent person but you've got some student debt and a mortgage for a house actually IN a major city you NEED a higher paying job than House rep. Because it doesn't actually pay all that well, most of the people running for elected office are those who just do it for attention and/or those who do it so they can sell their votes.

After Snyder v. U.S. it's quite clear that one party sees government service as little more than a way to a comfortable life. We need a constitutional amendment that declares money to not be speech, campaign finance structure that favors candidates that bank many small donations rather than a few large ones, and a robust anti-corruption program including an independent, non-partisan anti-corruption prosecutor and strict laws on elected officials receiving any kind of quid pro quo other than for services rendered outside of their public service (they can still write books, lecture, etc.).

Hah, I was looking back for some old posts of mine where I'd made similar arguments about how the party should actually moderate when it needs to and I basically said they need to run people like Walz nearly two years ago even though I didn't know who he was: 

Quote

Dems need some moderate candidates to run in moderate districts. But "moderate" doesn't mean Republican-lite candidates that run against the Democratic party.  Find some people that embrace universal values and know that the path to winning is attacking Republicans for being weird freaks who hate the American people, not explaining why they're a nicer Republican and nothing like the rest of those horrible Dems.

The rebuttal is short.

Believing in our society is not socialism.

Believing in the importance of community is not communism.

Being a good neighbor, and governing for ALL Americans to have a better future, is the essence of what it is to be an American.  It's patriotism.  Because we are American patriots, and we believe in the American people.  And we want a government by and for the American people.

Not that I care about Trump, because he a complete bag of shit, but my recollection is that flights logs show Trump was on Epstein's plane for domestic flights, but there is no evidence he ever visited the island. No reason to propagate mistruths and alternative facts, if you're gonna bitch about it when the other side does it. He's enough of a shitbag to get buried with the stuff we know  is  true.

Quote

‘Multiple plane flights with Epstein’

Many prominent people, including former president Bill Clinton, flew on Epstein’s jet. Trump took at least seven flights with Epstein in the 1990s, according to flight logs released as evidence in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, an Epstein associate who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping him sexually abuse girls. Lieu claimed that “young girls were on board,” but no evidence of that has surfaced. The ages of passengers were not recorded in the logs.

Trump took flights between Palm Beach and New York City airports. A June 1994 flight lists some of the other passengers as Marla and Tiffany, an apparent reference to Trump’s then-wife, Marla Maples, and their infant daughter.
