Love great food and drink ... movies too. I admit to being an SVU junkie! Consume an inordinate amount of news, so that makes me a news junkie too!
Worried about our country. Democracy is a horrible thing to lose!

As a retiree, I resent like hell his arrogance toward anyone who is older than 40! The fact that you defend him is repugnant! Hogg is only out to make himself the center of attention. Maybe you like that quality in him, but I think he is a stupid little shit!

... What bills are introduced out of committee, when they become available for a vote on the floor, etc.
If Hogg really wanted to help, he should find young Democrats in REPUBLICAN districts and UNSEAT THEM! Hogg is making the Democrats out to be the ones who need to leave.

Please don't let Hogg sway you. How could you possibly know what Democrats do or do not do for their constituents? That's an arrogant statement on your part. Hogg is not an elected official & does not follow Congressional committee meetings.

It would be impossible to write down all the ways extreme left and extreme right ideologies differ & certainly that's not the scope here. But you should be able to see that these two extremes do NOT join together in a horseshoe.

Marxism: Sees the state as an instrument of class oppression that will eventually wither away in a communist society.
Fascism: Elevates the state to a central position viewing it as the embodiment of the nation & its will. It emphasizes strong leadership & a cult of personality.

No, I just despise people who are intentionally IGNORANT and refuse to educate themselves for fear they will learn their presupposed positions are flawed. You REFUSE to acknowledge that you know little about Marxism and Fascism. I am not the one with the problem here. YOU are!

Wow! You really are a MORON! The far left & far right you claim are close together is woefully false! Far left (MARXISM) is diametrically different than far right (FASCISM - MUSSOLINI). You don't even know the difference because you're so effing stupid!
Educate yourself! Google is a wonderful tool!

A correction if you will allow ...
The evangelical movement you refer to as from the US is actually a British evangelical movement within the UK. They are a prominent part of the Christian landscape, particularly within the Church of England. Your evangelicals are home-grown!

You should brush up on political theory. Fascism & authoritarianism are BOTH far-right extremes. If you are referring to horseshoe theory, far-left is MARXISM (Marx) & far-right is FASCISM or AUTHORITARIANISM (Mussolini). Both of these men held widely differing views on econ & the role of the state.

FYI, there are plenty of political scientists who do NOT agree with the horseshoe theory because it oversimplifies political ideologies.

Yes, I have. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

Smear his name? Hogg is intentionally trying to primary older Democrats who are currently holding office so they can be REPLACED with younger ones! Apparently, he doesn't think anyone who is older has value and therefore wants them replaced. That is NOT his job as co-chair of the DNC!

Yes, I have. If you choose to believe in the horseshoe theory that the radical left and the radical right are actually closer on the ideological spectrum, please feel free to believe that. I do NOT!

I totally agree!
This "work requirement" for Medicaid recipients is outrageous! We expect the most from people who have the least amount of resources. How are the poor supposed to work when they can't afford daycare? It's a myth in the US that we have such a thing as affordable daycare!

You just made the most arrogant and uneducated claim that the left = the right and that both lie to topple democracies. The Democrats are trying to PRESERVE democracy, not destroy it! That's what the GOP does!
And I am well versed in Project 2025.

Don't you think I know that the Democrats have no power right now? Why do you think you're the only one who understands this stuff?

Yes, there was a govt shutdown in January 2018 for three days and again in 2018-2019 for 35 days, both under Trump.

Maybe I'm biased, but I see substantially more weaponized lies from the right-wing conservatives in this country. Here's 1 big whopper that they repeat ad nauseam: That millions of illegal immigrants vote! The fact that they cannot register & are barred from voting doesn't seem to penetrate the GOP!

I respectfully disagree! We have had govt shutdowns in the past, and, yes, it's complicated and irritating to reopen the govt. But it MUST reopen. If we didn't, how would seniors get SSA benefits or veterans get theirs or pay our active service members???
