Sherrod Brown is one.
He always fights for lower drug prices and against pig pharma, opposed the dumbass wars from the beginning, backed gay marriage ahead of the curve, and is more realistic on healthcare.
A lot of the progressives don't want to hear it, but many of their dream candidates are simply unelectable.
They think that because the Republicans are crazy that means you can afford to run anybody, ignoring the people in the middle. That's just not how things work. People aren't ready for Medicare for all and the like, whether the Bernie bro's want to hear it or not.
After this experiment with Trump, people are ready for the former status quo to return, not another hard swing to the side.
DiAnna, stop it or I'll bury you alive in a box! :2mad:Seriously, lol. Have been since I cast my first ballot, back in the day.
I've always voted a split ticket based on individuals and issues, am clearly liberal when it comes to social issues, but do have issues on which I have always been much more conservative. I really am "Independent", but if I re-registered as one, I wouldn't have a say in either party's primaries!
Husby re-registered as a democratic, so one of us would always be able to vote in both major party primaries.

No, but he and Cenk are idiots.
Cenk can be informative, but he can also read way too much into Democratic politics, and his purism is exactly what got us in this mess.Why?
I mean I can see Dore being lampooned as he often flirts with CT level nonsense (and this is coming from a staunch progressive) despite being right more often than not, and his propensity for running deflections for the likes of Putin as an example is nauseating. However, Cenk has consistently featured some of the most astute and accurate political analysis of any talking head I've ever seen, including MSNBC, CNN, Bloomberg and the like.
He certainly wears his bias on his sleeve, which is fine; at least he admits to it. That having been said, his insight into American politics can't be denied.

People won't care too much about that.
Why are people on the left going so crazy for this bigot, what's the appeal?
Her entire family has a long history of anti-gay activism that went beyond even just opposition to same-sex marriage rights. No, her POS father went after gay people's rights up and down the board, making clear he sees them as not worthy of any human decency or respect.
Gabbard defended those views just 13 years ago, when she was 24 years old. She only did her 180' only when the Democratic party as a whole did.
She's awful, find somebody else.
Haven't seen you around in a while Abba. Who are you liking for 2020?

(CNN)Rep. Tulsi Gabbard in the early 2000s touted working for her father's anti-gay organization, which mobilized to pass a measure against same-sex marriage in Hawaii and promoted controversial conversion therapy.
Gabbard, a Democrat from Hawaii, said Friday in an interview with CNN's Van Jones that she will seek her party's nomination for president in 2020. Her past views and activism in opposition to LGBT rights in the late 90s and early 2000s, which put her out of step with most of the Democratic Party at the time, have come under more intense scrutiny since her announcement
