"Back to the center, Democrats"

[Mac1958]

Opinion | Back to the Center, Democrats

Now's your chance, loud and clear. Use your head and reject the regressives who have taken over the party. Written by two Democrats:

The path back to power for the Democratic Party today, as it was in the 1990s, is unquestionably to move to the center and reject the siren calls of the Left, whose policies and ideas have weakened the party.

The last few years of the Obama administration and the 2016 primary season once again created a rush to the Left. Identity politics, class warfare, and big government all made comebacks. Candidates inspired by Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren and a host of well-funded groups have embraced sharply leftist ideas. But the results at the voting booth have been anything but positive: Democrats lost over 1,000 legislative seats across the country and control of both houses of Congress during the Obama years. And in special elections for Congress this year, they failed to take back any seats held by Republicans.

Central to the Democrats' diminishment has been has been their loss of support among working class voters.... (who) saw the party being mired too often in political correctness, transgender bathroom issues and policies offering more help to undocumented immigrants than to the heartland.

Marginalize the people who have pushed so many Americans away.

They would need to walk out of their bubble. No signs of that happening, but I am happy to be proven wrong.

I dont know how much further to the center you can get than hillary clinton? Do you think the democrats should nominate Jeb Bush?

Lindsay Lohan Agrees. Defends President Trump: ‘Stop Bullying Him and Start Trusting Him’
Lindsay Lohan tweeted out support for Donald Trump over the long July 4 holiday weekend, urging people to stop bullying the president.

On Monday, the actress replied to a tweet with a screenshot of a Breitbart article about Trump’s willingness to help Charlie Gard, a baby in Britain whose parents are unable to afford to keep him on life support.

“THIS IS our president,” Lohan tweeted. “Stop #bullying him & start trusting him. Thank you personally for supporting #THEUSA.”

So a corporatist and a money launderer that encouraged Democrats to vote for Trump thinks the Democrats should move to the "Center". Uh huh....

I dont know how much further to the center you can get than hillary clinton? Do you think the democrats should nominate Jeb Bush?

Hillary Clinton was only part of the problem.

The bigger problem is the behaviors and tactics of everyday, street level, rank and file "progressives" who have turned off so many Americans.

that doesn't answer my question who do you think they should nominate?

 

[gipper]

I would expect the D Party to go much further left.

Could it be they realize Olde Bernie could have won, had they not screwed him to get the crazy criminal in a pantsuit? If so, pushing more government and more socialism might be what they conclude wins for them.

Personally, I was hoping for someone like Jim Webb, Evan Bayh, Blanche Lincoln.

I'm sure you're not thrilled by them. And not to worry, I have no doubt this article will be mocked and ignored.

Someone like Jim Webb and not a individual that has been investigated so many times that you wish you never heard her name again.
