"Back to the center, Democrats"

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?
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.
.
blanche lincoln? a conservative democrat from arkansas.... really?
As I said, I knew you wouldn't like them.
.
what is the difference between her and hillary clinton to you?
The most important difference - knowing how critical image is in contemporary American politics - is that she is significantly more likeable.

A moderate Democrat gets in, carefully and incrementally moves things in their direction, gets some legislative victories and then more electoral victories. Kind of like the 90's, the last time this country was really purring.

Instead, the "Progressives" annoyed everyone around them, and we have Trump.

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

Someone like Jim Webb and not a individual that has been investigated so many times that you wish you never heard her name again.
Jim webb wouldve been investigated over and over as well if he had a chance at winning so would anyone else that democrats might run....
 
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.
what about you gipper who do you think the dems should run.... or are you still waiting for ron pauls grandson to be old enough to run?
I expect them to run Pocahontas...and she will mimic Bernie's campaign...FREE EVERYTHING.

She will dupe millions.
it is the land of the free after all

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.
.

The chances of the Democratic Party convincing rational men that it has "moved to the center" are at this point in time so lopsided in the negative as to be an impossibility of metaphysical proportions.

What was great about the 90s?
ask him he's the one who said the 90's were awesome in some weird fucking way of stating why hillary clinton was bad ... because the 90's were great ... I guess he didn't think that one through

It hasn't. That's the point of the article.

so then why not support hillary clinton? if you like bill so much?

If you think that was by chance, you have been truly and thoroughly fooled.

Then again, I think we all have been.

Apparently you either don't know anything about her, or you haven't been paying attention. She, and the people she represents are far worse than Trump could ever even imagine to be.

I voted for Hillary. Primarily because of her opponent.

This isn't about me.

To Hell with the Center! Bernie and the Dem Left point to Venezuela as a Progressive success and I say, "Run on that!"
 
These days Republicans are just f*cking loons.

What is this "radical" left thing?
Healthcare
Daycare
Education
School Lunches
Voter rights
Equal pay for equal work
Infrastructure
Women's rights

Republicans think because they are good at tricking the American people, the swill they are offering is what Americans want.

Yea, governors with a 15% approval rating
Trump's Deathcare
Tax cuts for needy billionaires
A president that is embarrassing the US the world over
Voter suppression
lies
dishonesty
Stealing from children with cancer

Now we have riots and demonstrations all across the country.
The worst we saw under Obama were middle class and poor whites begging to be screwed over by the Republican Party at some town halls.

A new day is coming. GOP meanness is motivating the Democrats. We'll see what happens at next year's midterms.
 
I dont know how much further to the center you can get than hillary clinton? Do you think the democrats should nominate Jeb Bush?
:lmao::lmao::lmao:

They're always saying move to the middle while they push further to the right. And like you just said...pretending that Clinton is now Bernie Sanders is where theit reality is now.
