1. Please don't call them middle of the road.

They'll end up like Manchin and Sinema.

3. manchin and sinema are rightwingers...

[Emile]

4. Manchin and Sinema advertised themselves as middle

[Think. Again.]

8. yeah, and trump tells people he's a good businessman.

7. Huh?

Wdym by "they'll end up like Manchin and Sinema"?

10. Lieberman was another middle of the road. Remember

when they killed the public option. Calling yourself middle of the road is not as popular as some think

2. FOX has pulled the "middle" so far right

that Nixon would be decried as a communist.

We're planting our flag in the true middle. I think we'll see more and more Americans joining us here.

[Think. Again.]

5. That's true...

The "middle" has been pulled right for decades, it's good to see us finally turning in the CORRECT direction.

6. Yes, compared to the world, our left is pretty middle.

But as far as tickets in the US, this has to be pretty close to the most liberal.

9. Recommended.

Context is everything. What seems "liberal" by today's standards would be "moderate republican" in the past. Walz represents what common sense Democrats were like in my youth.

11. So what if they were?

Why would that be a bad thing?

70-80% of the public support progressive policies. Ergo, "most liberal ever" is mainstream.

12. I'm agonna say George Washington & John Adams

They had NO party affiliation. They were part of a Revolution! Many Liberal Rights were secured.
