|
Jan 30th 2019 | 4
|
| I know. I'm chasing some rainbows & unicorns |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 5
|
| Hahaha yea - and I'm not knocking you at all. |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 15
|
| for some reason reminded me of this bumper sticker |
|

|
| Both! Accelerationists for Howard Schultz |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 3
|
| progressive as hell, wave that goddamn freak flag high as fuck |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 6
|
| If Schultz runs, do you think he takes votes away from Dems or Reps? |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 7
|
 I've been pondering this. I don't see Dems voting for him |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 28
|
| i thought dems at first but now im leaning towards repubs. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 44
|
| Just don’t be Hillary and we should be fine |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 8
|
| Lol word |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 16
|
| seriously. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 48
|
| moderate. |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 9
|
| How is any of this moderate, though? |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 11
|
| the literal purpose of a moderate is to *not* get a lot of shit done. |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 35
|
| If we don't run a moderate, the GOP will be able to call the D nominee |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 10
|
| They are going to do that regardless. |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 12
|
| Exactly |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 13
|
| Ding ding ding! BINGO |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 17
|
| right - plus, the notion that we should yield to the GOP on this |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 36
|
| This country too big and christian to become progressive |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 14
|
| Depends on the issue really. But i just want someone who is a |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 18
|
| all the liberals with any kind of clout right now are progressive. |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 19
|
| But they aren't national stars though |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 31
|
 AOC too young to run anyway |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 33
|
| media clout but not electoral clout. |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 41
|
| i hear you, but our choices right now |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 45
|
| our choices right now should be between winning and losing. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 47
|
| I have a "Pendulum Theory." Basically, to avoid population-wide trauma |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 20
|
| Except Democrats been putting out moderates for decades |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 21
|
| They've been putting out snobby elite pro-choice neocons with |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 23
|
| so you want pro-life neocons with franks red hot instead? i'm good |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 25
|
| What? Lol thats not my point at all...Im saying |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 26
|
| exactly. |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 37
|
| I don't actually interpret that history any differently! In fact,if anyt... |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 60
|
| sir. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 67
|
| My feeling is similar. I think the key is to have someone who |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 22
|
| I remember this in 2007/08 |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 30
|
| The republicans were totally cool with him, huh? |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 63
|
| They must've been |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 68
|
| And this would be good if the two parties were ideologically symmetrical |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 27
|
| We need a hard-left candidate just to get back to the center. |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 29
|
| unfortunately thats not how things have worked. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 42
|
| all fair points.....it's up to the left-wing to make allies. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 52
|
| this is liberals biggest mistake right here: |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 57
|
| But that mostly killed off the Blue Dogs |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 69
|
| blue dogs were the reason obama got to do anything. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 77
|
| They also killed the public option and nearly killed the ACA itself |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 82
|
| Campaign finance reform and lobbying reforms |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 24
|
| Corruption and Money out of Politics is the winning platform IMHOP. |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 32
|
| Yep, and this could get bipartisan support |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 34
|
| democrats have a bill on the floor *right now* dealing with all of this! |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 40
|
| But I was just told something like this would get bipartisan support! |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 61
|
| Here's the worst idea possible: Primary AOC and alienate Progressives |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 38
|
| what about aoc allegedly working to primary dem incumbents? |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 49
|
| I am not sure why primarying anyone is a terrible thing. That's democra... |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 54
|
| in a lot of cases...primaries can weaken you for the general. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 56
|
| She's denied that. There's nothing wrong with a primary, per se |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 59
|
| The most "moderate" Democrat is still 10000x better.. |
|
Jan 30th 2019 | 39
|
| this is important: |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 46
|
| simple answer: let the voters decide (majority of dems want a moderate) |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 43
|
| any facts behind the survey? |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 62
|
| Forget it, the survey has spoken |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 70

|
Jan 31st 2019 | 50
|
| fdr embraced the policies this dude thinks are 'too far left'. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 51
|
| lol i knew it. what a useless thing to lie about, let alone say |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 64
|
| That dude screamed on him and called him an egotistical asshole |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 71
|
| I wanted someone to ask him what he thinks he has in common with FDR |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 72
|
| yeah fdr is the posterboy lefty to end all lefties. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 75
|
| he united the country and didn't divide us |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 76
|
| agree with you after seeing him on CNN. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 55
|
| I just saw him talk 4 1st time other day and couldn't agree more |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 58
|
| hope it hurts Starbucks financials too |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 65
|
| You don't think we need a Centrist Billionaire at a time like this? lol |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 66
|
| some of these 'centrists' aint even really centrists. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 73
|
| you can tell he'd go the hardest on entitlements and social programs |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 74
|
| right. I am honestly surprised how stupid he is |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 78
|
| centrism to own the libs. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 80
|
| somehow the Starbucks "Race together" campaign seems even stupider |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 84
|
| yeah hes def on some bootstraps shit. |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 79
|
| lol I swear he must've hosted like 10 dinner parties |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 86
|
| people keep acting like both parties are equally extreme. |
|
Feb 01st 2019 | 94
|
| country won't survive another 40 years like the last 40 years |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 53
|
| I'd wait to see what repubs do before buying center from dems |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 83
|
| I mean does it really matter? What's the point? |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 87
|
| Truly progressive all in |
|
Jan 31st 2019 | 88
|
| i think howard schultz is gonna end up pulling his campaign. |
|
Feb 01st 2019 | 89

|
Feb 01st 2019 | 91
|
| trojan horse. |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 102
|
| I dont think its *quite* as sinister as much as the RINOS are delusional... |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 104
|
| steve schmidt brought us sarah palin. he is a snake. |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 108

| Semi-spinoff: Are there any prospective Dems you WON'T vote for |
|
Feb 01st 2019 | 93
|
| I won't vote for a candidate that accepts PAC money |
|
Feb 01st 2019 | 95
|
| So if they dont have that, you'll be fine with 4 more years of Trump? |

| Biden is the last person I want nommed, but he'd have my vote, no hesi. |
|
Feb 01st 2019 | 99
|
| 1st poll out for howard schultz and... |
|
Feb 01st 2019 | 96
|
| The "policy" positions are totally irrelevant this cycle. |
|
Feb 01st 2019 | 98
|
| even this is unlikely if repubs control senate. |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 101
|
| *sigh* Yeah. |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 105
|
| You guys are depressing me |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 106
|
| Better than it was in '18, in one sense, but the sense is crucial. |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 109
|
| dems need to start talking about these things explicitly. |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 111
|
| Thanks. Question for you |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 112
|

| I'm waiting for a candidate to support dumping the fillibuster |
|
Feb 03rd 2019 | 123
|
| Why would you say this? |
|
Feb 03rd 2019 | 124
|
| you are both right in a way. |
|
Feb 03rd 2019 | 125
|
| Interesting. Good points. |
|
Feb 03rd 2019 | 126
|
| That is what I meant |
|
Feb 03rd 2019 | 130
|
| nobody should campaign on nuking the filibuster. |
|
Feb 03rd 2019 | 127
|
| It would literally make this country a better place if this happened |
|
Feb 03rd 2019 | 131

|
| Folks use HIllary's lost as a call for more progressive candidate, BUT |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 103
|
| Loss was less about Left/Right as it was Elites/Populists...even tho |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 114
|
| Because she didn't excite the base, was stale |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 115
|
| trump won less share/percentage of the popular vote than romney |
|
Feb 02nd 2019 | 116

|
Mar 26th 2019 | 150
