Eh
And how many times can I use the word “issue” lololol

I just take issue with implying progressive stances is the issue. Perhaps that’s my own hopeful bias, but there are just so many other issues with how the dems have been approaching their campaigns.

For example trying to use Cheney … a name that pisses off pretty much everyone, both far left and far right.

She also fucked up by saying she’d change nothing in regards to what Biden did in his four years.

There were many instances like that that ended up hurting her chances.
June 6, 2025 at 4:09 PM
Well I’m not going to claim I’m an expert in this because I’m obviously not. And I don’t know which far-left progressive policies you speak of that hurt her across all voter sub-groups.

But I do think some of her attempts to pander to centrist voters really hurt her.

Anyway … it’s obvious that there are sooo many reasons the dems lost control everywhere in the govt. But to say it’s because they’ve gone too far left and need to come back to the center is a hilarious misread of the situation.

Look at Obama and Trump’s platforms. They both were clear in their messaging: things need to change. And I’ll be the one to do it. It’s likely that Biden won because trump fumbled the bag with COVID. If he had been a stronger leader during that, I don’t think Biden would have stood a chance.
June 6, 2025 at 3:53 PM
They consistently try to pull votes from the right, and it’s clear that people in this country are after a strong leader. And yes trump is a goon and bully, but he’s a populist and Americans are wanting that.

Sure he might have been the most progressive we’ve had in a long time, buuuut that’s just in terms of presidents.

Unfortunately, the dems just suck at rallying the many different progressive groups. And they’ve lost the plot when it comes to labor.
June 6, 2025 at 3:51 PM
Particularly when you compare his stances to other politicians like Bernie and AOC.

That other woman’s comment implies the dems aren’t playing from the center because Biden was very progressive in his policies. But it just isn’t true lol.
June 6, 2025 at 3:51 PM
Okay. But being one of the most “progressive” presidents in your lifetime doesn’t really mean much if we’re talking about the dems approach as a whole. Kamala tried to play from the center. So did Clinton.

As far as Biden, I would never classify him as super left.
June 6, 2025 at 3:50 PM
So what’s the plan?
February 19, 2025 at 12:49 PM
Remember how she thought it was a good idea to parade Liz Cheney around?

Cheney … the family name that sparks disgust in so many American households - both right and left.

Smh

I think we might have different definitions of “very progressive”.
February 2, 2025 at 3:40 PM
Isn’t that what they’ve been doing? Playing from the center?

Gotta crunch those knots out. I use lacrosse balls
