No. You cannot blame democrats for MAGA voters giving the GOP threee branches and unlimited power to the current president. We did not do this. You can blame us for not communicating to MAGA, but I doubt they would ever listen. You cannot blame us for increasing Trump wealth either.
You don't understand...the blame is that the Dems are not fielding conservative lite folk like Bloomberg, because that is after all, the "American Way" (TM)
But how to stop the legislative branch from once again giving away its power to another president they favor? Trump's seized powers he shouldn't have, but the legistlative not only let him but actively helped. And the judicial, of course, lets it occur more often than not. Even if we get the ideal president next time there's nothing stopping an exact repeat for the next one after that, and that next one will be worse because they'll have learned from the past and will claw back more power, faster, and know which roadblocks to destroy.
Absolutely that, and blaming the SCOTUS of course. By letting the POTUS do what is actually their job, they force the SCOTUS to weigh on a bunch things they really shouldn't need to. GOP is obviously more at fault now and more hypocritical on the matter but when it was Biden, you've got to blame the dems more than the GOP. But if they do they are all RINOs or DINOs.
Seems to me, the Democrats could use the assist.
I bet the repugs might like her...can't ruffle their frail sensitive feathers right? And frankly, I don't think what you might consider to be progressive would be so in any sane world where common sense matters. Does she have a cackle that might offend you?
No, it's different for Trump, he should have been President in 2020 so it's right he's allowed another term....
Honestly I've never heard her speak. She did set up her wife as an influence-peddler on the taxpayer's dime, but that's the worst thing I know about her. Other than her politics, of course. As for whether or not she's progressive enough, you'll have to judge for yourself. I tend to think a more moderate Democrat would have a better chance getting votes, but she's bound to be seen as an extreme leftist by many, just because she's from Oregon.
No AOC. I think she's more likely to try for Shumer's seat. It does seem like that leaves the left lane open.
Well crap, sounds like the fix is in. I'm going to beat the rush and point out Newsom is a putz and will lose, no matter what steaming pile of fascism the Republicans run against him. He's a quintessential Business Democrat whose policies come with a visible price tag. The resemblance to Gordon Gecko is absolutely intentional. As the worst possible person the Democrats could pick in this political environment, ofc he's going to sail through the nomination.
He's both more complicated and more simple than that. He's a pro-business dem when it will get him votes and hard left ideologue when it will get him votes. He was the rare voice of reason in San Francisco politics but anywhere else, not so much.
I would definitely like to see a more left-wing candidate but Newsom wouldn't be tragic.
Isn't that just...being a politician? Can you name a politician that doesn't change their messaging or stance when it comes to whoever they're addressing in that moment?
I can't remember if it was this thread or another but I think the Dems will coalesce behind a candidate to get one in the race. I'd be shocked if no Dem makes it into the general vote. Sure there's a chance it could happen but I don't think there's too much to be concerned about.
