[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the columnist is basically wishing for a new and improved version of Hillary to reappear?  Why?  The country has moved left.   It’s not 1993 anymore, Tom.  Dude is stuck in the 90s  Heck, even the suburban white womens of Ashburn and places like that  are forever blue voters now.  And not surprising:  they know that a form of progressive socialism will be good news for their sons. [/quote]

That you actually believe this idiocy just shows how well and truly out of touch you are.  Good luck.[/quote]

Out if touch how?  The party has moved left.  Sorry.[/quote]

+1.

Does the PP really think that the WI, MI, and PA blue collar voters share AOC's values?  Or those of "suburban white womens" of Ashburn?

Those people WILL vote D.  They HAVE voted D.  But they won't do it for a far left candidate.  They'll stay home instead.

Dem's are being so astonishingly foolish.  [/quote]

I’m the PP who said how out of touch those of you who think the country has moved left are.  I never said the Democrats haven’t moved left - they absolutely have.  My point was that while the Dems are moving further and further left (courtesy of AOC and co.), the rest of the country is rejecting their ultra-liberal agenda.  Of course mainstream voters don’t share the ultra-left’s zealotry - and they won’t vote for them, either.  That was my point.[/quote]

Given the Democrats’ resounding triumphs in 2018 and the mainstreaming of progressive socialism, I’d say this country on the whole is many steps left of center now. [/quote]

I think you're completely misreading 2018.

By one assessment, progressives won ZERO out of 8 "litmus test" races.  Link:  [url]https://twitter.com/hotlinejosh/status/1060083550270173184[/url]

As for the "mainstreaming of progressive socialism", socialism's popularity is identical to Trump's approval rating.  Right around 42%.

Does that mean it's been "mainstreamed"?  Maybe, but it isn't very popular.

Yup progressives don't understand the reason that D's got control of the house is that they flipped seats with moderates.  If those candidates would have run on the progressive platform they would have lost.  This is why Pelosi is trying to get the squad to shutup.  As Pelosi has said a glass of water could win in these ultra blue districts.  The country is not ultra blue.  Running a presidential candidate with an ultra blue platform will make the presidential race competitive and might even give Trump a second term.
