[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a life long Democrat that voted for Hogan, I would take a Hogan clone in a second. I want a moderate that is not going for any of the Democratic far left nuttiness and someone who is not a Trumper. [/quote]
+1, Hogan is the only Republican I have ever voted for and someone Hogan-esque, whether they are a Dem or Republican, is now what I look for in a candidate when I am deciding who to vote for. I really hope he runs for President, if he were able to somehow make it out of the primaries (unlikely I know), I think he could win the general election.[/quote]

Agreed.  I didn't vote for him but I don't hate him.  I'd take his more moderate approach over crazy right-wing people any day.

And I'm increasingly willing to take his more conservative approach over the crazy left-wing people, too.

Both sides have lost their minds.   [/quote]

No, both sides have not lost their minds. There is no false equivalency here. If anything, both parties have lost their mind in a rightward direction for 40 years. Ronald Reagan’s tax policy is to the left of mainstream Democrats today. The Republican Party has gone off the rockers with extreme conspiratorial right wing rhetoric and gaslighting, outright fascism, and the usual bending over for corporate donors and Wall Street. The Democrats are still stuck in failed neoliberal corporate friendly policy that does nothing for the lives of ordinary Americans and are a far cry from the transformative economic policies of FDR or even LBJ. But they do cater to some fringe groups with mildly annoying woke identity politics rhetoric. [/quote]

Progressives are just as bad.   Neither side likes government and has their own goals to achieve, and the hell with everyone else.   Progressives want to destroy systems too.   They absolutely do.   And the sad part is destruction would hurt the people they are trying to protect.    People need to improve systems, not destroy them.   Again, on either side of the aisle. [/quote]
Yup. The one thing that both “Progressives” and right-wingers share is a disdain and disregard for how difficult it is establish and implement well functioning systems. I think of it like winning sports teams. They think creating winning teams is as easy as running a fantasy team, just mix and match players and coaches and voila. If only it were that easy for every team to be a winner. Like why has no one ever though of that? They fully discount the hard work and “special sauce” that it takes and seem too willing to tear down systems ti work because they don’t work perfectly according to their ideology. [/quote]
