[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]If this keeps up, I can see Cortez being used by Republicans as the face of the new Democratic party and it will not help with middle America:

You are a Trumpster. Quit the concern trolling. Republican Congressmen and a Senator spent July 4 in Russia. How do you think that plays in middle America? Worry about your own party.

I am a Trumpster? Hilarious!!

I have been a liberal since before you were born. Being a liberal does not mean one has to toe the party line hard as it may be to believe.[/quote]

Yes, you are constantly here supporting or defending Trump. I have never seen you take a single liberal position. You used to start every post by saying, "I didn't vote for Trump but...". Now you don't bother with the prelude. You are really a one-trick pony.

No, I have a problem with the hysteria that abounds about Trump and his antics. Like it or not he is president and it is foolhardy to ignore the factors that brought him into office. Now that is a point I have made repeatedly.

And, no it is not racist, ignorant, uneducated local yokels who voted for him. I know this because I actually interact and socialize with some who voted for him. I am sure there are racists who voted for him but it is asinine to assume that because someone voted for Trump he/she must be a racist.

Yes, I did not vote for Trump nor did I vote for Hillary - they were both thoroughly odious. I actually wrote in Sanders name when I voted. I also supported Sanders during the primaries less because I thought he was the right person and more because I was hoping he'd succeed in blocking Hillary.

And as far as taking liberal positions on this forum, you have no idea what you are talking about because there are multiple posts when I have done so.

There are only two ways of removing Trump from office: defeat him in an election or impeach him and remove him from office. The latter will not happen given that one needs 67 votes in the Senate to accomplish this. So we are left with defeating him in an election and Cortez's harebrained ideas are not the answer.

I am sure that this will be hard for you to come to grips with but your views are not necessarily the panacea for liberals. You have a viewpoint which may or may not be right - just as I do. [/quote]

I have no problem with your viewpoint, just your constant misrepresentation of it. You claim to have gone to the trouble to write in Sanders -- what no Gary Johnson on your ballot? -- but are here trashing Ocasio Cortez. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. The center needs a left wing or it will simply be pulled to the right. You are delusional if you think Democrats acting like Republicans is the road to victory. Given the choice between a real Republican and a fake one, voters have repeatedly chosen the real one. It is time for Democrats to act like Democrats and having a strong left wing motivates them to do that. I've always found it strange how so-called "moderate Democrats" are much more comfortable with and tolerant of the right then they are anyone to their left. It is a very strange phenomenon.
