General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Ralph Nader - "Stay Silent and Stay Powerless Against Trump's Tyranny" [View all]That's not necessarily me you are insulting. You said it was progressives that you had a problem with. I took you at your word.
"I didn't say we need to move to the right...we do need to cater our messaging..."
OK. So which is it? You can't do both. Or do you mean lie to voters, say we are moving right and then don't? Or something? Actually the reverse works. Run like FDR, govern like Reagan. Obama ran on extremely progressive positions. Too bad that was not reflected more in the administration's actual actions.
I think almost every district could elect an AOC. I think that it will happen. How would you be with that? AOC's positions speak to the needs and aspirations of 80%+ of the population, no matter where they are. It seems like the right wing propaganda has beaten you down pretty badly. Stand up and fight ffs. "Brief window of power?" Damn, why keep surrendering?
"I want Democrats to win so they can continue to pass progressive legislation."
Never happens. Not how it works. Take a stand and you will get elected.
