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.

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

Out if touch how? The party has moved left. Sorry.

+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.

+1 yep

I’m pretty sure that any Dem will win in MI, PA, and WI. The promise of universal health care, free college, and high taxes on the rich is populist and reasonable stuff.

You have a point re the freebies; however, [b]it won't happen just with high taxes on the rich[/b]. Dems are definitely skilled at offering free stuff. Through tax increases, maybe the middle class workers can work 5 months a year "for free."[/quote]

There are many other ways to make things more affordable. I think that's part of the key to this. Everyone knows that colleges have gotten out of control with bloated administration, climbing walls, etc. Everyone knows that we pay way too much for pharmaceuticals and health care. Cost control is part of the solution. Those sectors' costs have increased at way more than the rate of inflation and the middle class wages have not kept up so of course that stuff is not affordable. Everyone in the middle class knows this and that somebody made money from that. If this country is to remain a healthy, educated place where workers are valued, the rich will have to help out too. The middle class are already being "taxed" through increasing health care and education costs (not to mention having to save for their retirements) so I honestly think a lot of the middle class doesn't see a big difference in whether it's a "tax" or a higher direct bill. It's the same thing . . . less money in their pockets. [/quote]
