Democrats Are The New Conservatives

[Linc]

It's just a small and ineffective Progressive contingent of the Democratic Party. The rest of the Party answers to conservative big money.

The new chair of the progress—ive caucus, Rep. Casar of TX, has been put in the same new district as con Dem Rep. Doggett.

What say you on the GOP scRotus stealing the House? Any thoughts on you giving the GOP a pass at all costs?!

You seem to forget about the moderates who have carried the Democratic party since FDR and JFK.

 

[Tigerace117]

My goodness, how silly. The democrat party has shifted SO far left over the last few decades that it is unrecognizable.

If JFK were to appear today, democrat numb nuts would be calling him far right.

JFK wasn’t a very good president.

A brave dude, no question, but someone whose reputation has been entirely salvaged by “what if”.

 

[Linc]

If the Democrats veer right, they can **** right off.

Far more **** right off to those who voted third/turd party in 2000 and 2016, giving us this 6-3 scotus, maga, trump, and all the rest.

 

[Linc]

You're not alone. Democrats do not want the party to move right, they want it to move left, and I believe it will.

keeping feeding the naderites and steins.
magas aren’t the only ones with limited IQ.

 

[aociswundumho]

JFK wasn’t a very good president.

He was only president for two years.

One thing he did right was to reject keynes and push for tax cuts which led to 5% growth rates for the rest of the 60s and very low unemployment. The rising tide did indeed lift all of the boats.

 

[aociswundumho]

keeping feeding the naderites and steins.

Most american progressives are neither.

 

[Linc]

Democrats represent maintaining the status quo.

Radical Republicans favor making all kinds of poorly researched changes - really all from Donald's shoot-from-the-hip unpredictability.

two completely disconnected and rambling ideas

 

[Blue Dog]

This is a political catch 22.

Progressive Democrats are looking to move the party forward. Idealism takes precedence over pragmatism.

Moderate to conservative Democrats are required to have a chance at winning seats in red states. Pragmatism has to take precedence over idealism.

If the idea doesn't work in practice, then the idea is wrong.

Moderate to conservative Democrats are required to have a chance at winning seats in red states.

A vote for a democrat is a vote for higher taxes, and who the hell wants that.

 

[Linc]

Most american progressives are neither.

those who call themselves profs here:
you couldn’t be more wrong.

now get back to dividing dividable regressives who really aren’t progressive, like your ilk Cori Bush and defund the police.

 

[Helix]

I think that may have been the plan of the GOP to shift the overton window by slowly increasing the cray cray.

It has shifted way too much.

 

[Linc]

flaming and festering BOILs

 

[Tigerace117]

He was only president for two years.

One thing he did right was to reject keynes and push for tax cuts which led to 5% growth rates for the rest of the 60s and very low unemployment. The rising tide did indeed lift all of the boats.

He was easily convinced of idiotic foreign policy plans—like the Bay of Pigs and Vietnam.

And that isn’t even getting into the utter mess of his personal life.

 

[Helix]

What typically happens is the government will continue to subsidize demand (which is what obamacare does), while also continuing to restrict supply, which is what created the problem in the first place. My best guess is we will see a complete state takeover when healthcare spending hits around 30% of gdp. In other words, it will keep getting worse and worse until it becomes intolerable.

But don't feel bad, Canada's system is in even worse shape than ours.

I don't watch faux anymore.

 

[aociswundumho]

those who call themselves profs here:
you couldn’t be more wrong.

I have no idea what this means.

now get back to dividing dividable regressives who really aren’t progressive, like your ilk Cori Bush and defund the police.

Even commie Mamdani has changed his position on defunding the police.

 

[aociswundumho]

He was easily convinced of idiotic foreign policy plans—like the Bay of Pigs and Vietnam.

And that isn’t even getting into the utter mess of his personal life.

Yep, I was just pointing out one very important thing he got right.

 

[Blue Dog]

If the idea doesn't work in practice, then the idea is wrong.

Disagree, that is an oversimplification. In certain cases that may be true, but not always.

A vote for a democrat is a vote for higher taxes, and who the hell wants that.

Higher taxes are not the problem.
Prioritizing our spending problem is.

 

[Airyaman]

This is where the Democratic Party needs to go.

Republicans are radicals. Turning everything upside down. Ignoring the Constitution.

Traditional conservatives have been thrown out of the Republican party.

Sanity now lies with the American Democratic Party.

Yeah, I would never consider Democrats as conservatives in the modern era, but there are no conservatives in MAGA either. Well, at least not fiscal conservatives.

But Democrats are picking up steam even if their approval numbers are in the shitter.

 

[aociswundumho]

Disagree, that is an oversimplification. In certain cases that may be true, but not always.

Ok, provide some examples where the idea doesn't work in practice, but is nevertheless correct.

Higher taxes are not the problem.
Prioritizing our spending problem is.

In a democracy, spending is determined mostly by lobbyists.

 

[H. E. Panqui]

Yep, and the result is the most successful democracy in the world.

We live under 'plutocracy' not honest democracy... These craven Republicrat$ inc. chuck a dozen or so 'viable' shit puppet presidential candidate$ at us every 4 years, a couple of phony 'debates' and 160,000,000 slowpokes affirm the shit puppet show with their votes... Ime, anyone not a dullard understands the candidates we are fed by the Republicrat 'shit-puppet ma$ter$' are NOWHERE NEAR the best among us...[gee, i wonder why!...ugh..]

Monetary realists understand these Republicrat shit puppet$ are monetary ignoramuses whose puny ideas are beneficial/no threat to the rotten exi$ting order...

Same thing with foreign policy: Virtually all of them are warmongering neocon shitheads who promote secretive interventionist actions...regime change, etc. ad nauseam...

Ime, the Republicrat shit puppet$ and their ma$ter$ need to GO! And until they do their cheerleaders can blather all they want but NOTHING of honest lasting good will/can happen...Republicrat cheerleaders will continue to be exposed as trifling fools....

 

[Blue Dog]

Ok, provide some examples where the idea doesn't work in practice, but is nevertheless correct.

“Correct” is a relative term. Example:

Single Payer does work to bring down costs just by eliminating the middle man, but not enough people support the idea because it gets tagged with a socialist label.

In a democracy, spending is determined mostly by lobbyists.

No argument here, but that doesn’t change the point about taxes.

 

[H. E. Panqui]

Democrats represent sanity...

^^^

My aching Christ!! ffs!

 

[H. E. Panqui]

yeah, kinda sneaks up on us.

maybe he meant two weeks instead, should give us enuf time.

Do you know about Aesop's crying boy?

 

[Revelation]

.

this is going to be about Aesop's boy who can't see what is in front of him.

10 days people.....

Do you know about Aesop's crying boy?

seems like the rest of you are Crying, and will be Crying when all is said and done.


we are all about Done. 10 days people.



The Boy Who Cried Wolf is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 210 in the Perry Index. From it is derived the English idiom "to cry wolf", defined as "to give a false alarm" in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable and glossed by the Oxford English Dictionary as meaning to make false claims, with the result that subsequent true claims are disbelieved.
