The Democrats’ Half-Hearted Move to the Center

The Democrats’ Half-Hearted Move to the Center

They’re still pretty far away.

This is a great piece. It examines why this guy thinks Harris/Walz are lying (not his words....my words).

An example of what he sees:

(1) The “I take it back” strategy. Harris has a long record of taking unpopular, even toxic, stances on various policies that played well, at various times, with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party but are not remotely centrist. These include, but are hardly limited to, banning fracking, banning offshore drilling, backing a Green New Deal, mandatory gun buybacks, defunding the police and casting doubt on whether police really improve public safety, abolishing ICE, decriminalizing illegal border crossings, and abolishing private health insurance.

Do you, the median voter, see something there you don’t like? The Harris campaign says: no problem. Harris now takes it back! Whatever she said in the past that seems bonkers, she now enthusiastically disavows.

Of course, these position reversals raise many questions. Why did she have these positions in the first place? Why did she change those positions—what accounts for her conversion? And what is her position now on those contentious policy issues—besides not being for dumb position X? That leads to a second strategy in the moving-to-the-center campaign.

This is also stated:

(3) The “Hey, we’re working class too!” strategy. This appears to be part of the thinking behind the selection of Minnesota governor Tim Walz as Harris’s running mate, instead of Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. Shapiro, of course, was not beloved of the progressive left and their campaign against him and for Walz apparently had an effect.

**************

So, Harris picks a mate based on pressure from progressives.

Kinda makes you wonder just what a jellow bowl she'll be if elected.

Has Trump ever moved to the center OP?

Has Trump ever moved to the center OP?

He used to be a Democrat and was pro-choice..

This isn't about Trump.

Read the OP.

And it isn't about moving there. It's about lying about it.

What you see in the media is spin intended portray the Harris ticket moving to the center. Don't believe it. The choice of tampon Tim will tell you everything you need to know about the off the charts left wing democrat agenda.

The Democrats are playing "Lucy With The Football" with American voters. We'll see how many are stupid enough to believe their empty words.....AGAIN.

It's a good move.

More of the grand illusion

Instead of lying about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz at every turn, why don't you tell us what Donald Trump is planning on doing for the American people and why it's better than the Democrats' agenda.

Tell us about how banning mephipristo will help American families. How restoring insulin prices to $600 a month, and eliminating all air and water regulations will help the American people.

How ending unions will improve things for working Americans. Reagan promised you all a raise when the unions were gone, but it never happened. Trump is telling you the same lie.

Make a case for voting for Donald Trump, and an end to all dissent, protest, or civil rights.

Kamala Knows a Good Idea When She Steals It – IOTW Report

Involves parroting Trump ideas

 

[Blaster]

Democrats have moved far left and moderates in the party have tolerated this.

 

[pknopp]

Moved to the center? So they have moved left?

 

[MarcATL]

This isn't about Trump.

Read the OP.

And it isn't about moving there. It's about lying about it.

That's what I thought.

 

[dblack]

Has Trump ever moved to the center OP?

Trump is a disease. A disease caused by deep seated frustration with overbearing, meddlesome government.

If Democrats were serious in what they claim, if they truly believed that Trump, or MAGA in general, is an existential threat to the nation, they would have nominated a centrist candidate who could credibly address the concerns of rural white voters. But they didn't, and they won't, because they care more about "winning" the culture war.

You don't know squat. It's about dumping Trump.

 

[Billiejeens]

Any moderates have been removed.

 

[Mac1958]

Both nominees kept it hardcore.

A lot of Americans are not being represented.

Who's "my boy?"

 

[HikerGuy83]

That's what I thought.

What did you think ?

That it wasn't about Trump ? Why did you ask about it.

Is Trump claiming to move to the middle ? If so, he is lying.

So is Harris. That was the article.
