The issues the MAGA cult focuses on is so telling. The sanctity of high school sports: #1 priority. The economy headed to recession: no concerns noted
On the flip, Lindsey Graham believes Trump is making a mistake stopping arms and military intelligence to Ukraine. It is possible to support a political party and not lose your ability to reason. Something our far right friends here should take to heart and stop painting those perceived “libbies “ with a large and incorrect brush.
They’re not. The only ones who keep bringing it up are the republicans, and I still can’t understand their obsession with it.
because it is an easy win for something that the populationc ares about and the majority see differently than the far left. it is a litmus test for the dem party as to how far they are willing to go to pacify the far left. hint, they went too far
Pete is a bright guy The Democratic Civil War Has Started. Who Will Triumph? - Newsweek Speaking to Newsweek,Thomas Gift, a political scientist who heads the Center on U.S. Politics at King's College London, said Newsom's remarks likely show the direction of travel within the Democratic Party. "Newsom's comments show that he's serious about 2028," he said. "In short, he gets it. He understands that running to the left on social issues isn't a political winner. The only question is how quickly other Democrats follow his lead." "Democrats who insist on running as left-wing culture warriors won't be running very long. That's just simply not where the median American voter is at the moment," Gift added. ................................. He told Newsweek: "The U.S. has taken a turn to the right, and the next presidential election will reflect that. Whoever challenges for the Democrat nomination will have half an eye on the national battle, where the economy, security and national pride are likely to outweigh liberal issues. The Californian governor is simply setting his stall out early." The debate within the Democratic Party over Newsom's latest comments reflects a more general division on why the party lost the 2024 presidential election, with more centrist elements attributing this to unpopular stances taken by progressives on culture war issues. ........................ Speaking at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics on February 18, Pete Buttigieg, the former transportation secretary and another possible 2028 Democratic presidential contender, argued that certain progressive positions were turning people into Trump supporters.
Its literally the first one I've ever posted and I think a prominent liberal saying this is noteworthy, but by all means...go off.
From the link .... likley an accurate assessment. Which suggests that maybe Newsom, in typical politician fashion, is trying to say one thing rhetorically—and do an entirely different thing actually. Classic. But journalists shouldn’t let him get away with it. Until Newsom actually takes action—or even makes more specific comments about the matter—it’s absurd to paint him as defying leftists or his party.
Thus the reason I will take the bullets for my "both sides" stances. Both sides are off the rails on so many things.
Did his "lies" change what he ran on? Obama and Biden ran as "centrist" with centrist views. That was a lie. Newsome's ACTIONS have been that of a straight-up communist the whole time he's been in office in California.
I usually ignore your inane comments, but I don't appreciate the slander. I have always said exactly what I just did. Go back to your fantasy posting that doesn't involve me please. Thank you.
That isnt accurate at all. Be fair. Liberal politicians have made an unpopular stance about it. I guess they want to "own the cons" on something outlandish, so they chose this. Good on Newsome for pushing back.
Lol. Yes. The guy who once gave money to Hillary ran against her by becoming "cOnSeRvATiVe"... Yet he isnt being a real conservative at all. (Sadly for those of us who still want real conservatives)
