    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    Some of us have progressed since junior high school.

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    15 years ago I had kids in school, and I found out how much progress had been made. Kids were far more accepting of others that were different. (Most people consider that a good thing.) Slow, steady progress, not a "fad." The only promotion of the subject was done by Republican politicians...

    What "fad" are you talking about?

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    Sure. Hypothetically, if everyone voted their conscience, we would elect people who would also vote their conscience once in Congress. But that is not the reality of American politics. At all. You can see it right here on this thread. Republicans are voting based on complete BS like a tiny...

    Kids have become much more accepting and understanding of gays, trans, etc. It is likely that these athletes have the general support of their teammates and classmates. It's completely different than when I was in school.

    Over the past few decades, party-line voting is the norm.

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    Because those candidates don't always exist. So I vote for the best available option. There are already plenty of people voting for horrible candidates and horrible ideas. Why don't they change?

    It always matters. Some elections more than others. When I have the opportunity to vote for a brave candidate, I do so. Usually, that's just in the primaries, unfortunately.

    And yet, I get out and vote every election. Call me crazy.

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    I prefer to vote more strategically. In the end, you are given a choice between basically two options (in the U.S., anyway), and I vote for the better, or least bad, option. I took a principled stand in 2016 and voted third party, thinking Clinton had it wrapped up. I didn't like how the Dem...

    What does that even mean? One single vote seldom swings an election. But votes, collectively, do make a statement.

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    That's your framing. Nobody wants to see men competing against women in sports, and it rarely happens anyway. You guys see trans-hulk athletes everywhere you look, or you think you do. We see a tiny number of kids who deserve the same rights and opportunities as all the other kids, and that...

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    2024 wasn't the year to take a principled stand, I agree. But I understand the complaint, and it's valid. The Dem establishment sure isn't making it easy to support them on their own merits. Right now, they are just the "not-trumps." The problem is that there is almost never a good...
