Pete Buttigieg milestogo May 2025 #5

If America won't elect a woman Chasstev365 May 2025 #7

Absolutely correct--America will NOT elect a woman. elocs May 2025 #27

Andy Beshear will be the next President. Meadowoak May 2025 #126

As far as I see it, Beshear's only qualification pinkstarburst May 2025 #146

Entirely qualified but what he hasn't got it the ability to be elected. elocs May 2025 #26

I BELIEVE! True Dough May 2025 #91

He may be my adopted candidate. There's a lot of time between now and then. NBachers May 2025 #88

Sure is. SheltieLover May 2025 #108

What about mzmolly May 2025 #10

I admire Jon greatly, and consider him the smartest Senator DFW May 2025 #116

LOL mzmolly May 2025 #118

Actually, I DID tell him that when we had dinner in DC in January. DFW May 2025 #120

Very interesting. mzmolly May 2025 #154

Here is a pic from a little dinner I organized in Washington a couple of years ago. DFW May 2025 #143

WOW! mzmolly May 2025 #152

Senators Ossoff, Kelly and Hickenlooper can now all say DFW May 2025 #153

No chance I would ever support Franken in a Democratic primary. Plus he would turn 81 in his first term. Celerity May 2025 #14

Good point about the age issue SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #15

I will let the first Democratic Senator to go on national television and call for him to resign speak for me: Celerity May 2025 #18

Isn't interesting that SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #21

I have brought that very point up (in great detail) since I joined DU 7 years ago. Celerity May 2025 #23

It is amazing that so many SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #124

Plus many ignore the multiple Democratic women who said Franken harassed them. They only talk about Celerity May 2025 #129

I agree SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #130

Why is Adam Schiff never on these lists? I really like him, he's stepped up so many times in the past few months. n/t SheilaAnn May 2025 #149

He just was elected to the US Senate, I doubt he is already thinking about moving on from that. Celerity May 2025 #150

I loved Al Franken as a senator - he got a bad rap - but he wouldn't have a chance Ocelot II May 2025 #53

Al is not interested, especially in working with Senators who threw him under the bus DFW May 2025 #119

BTW SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #17

Like I didn't know that? Chasstev365 May 2025 #19

You're clueless mzmolly May 2025 #32

No I acknowledge reality SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #37

No, mzmolly May 2025 #44

The new deal ended decades ago SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #47

Today's voters care about The New Deal. mzmolly May 2025 #49

Tell that to a young black voter SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #50

I've spoken to many black voters mzmolly May 2025 #52

On steroids being the operative word SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #60

The problems of the 1930's will be ours again, mzmolly May 2025 #63

Democrats need policies relevant to today SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #68

We're going to revert to the 1930's mzmolly May 2025 #75

Yes, and to achieve SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #96

New policies much like The New Deal. mzmolly May 2025 #98

Greatest hits from the past? mzmolly May 2025 #110

Agreed SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #121

This is the point where I vacate this thread. NBachers May 2025 #92

We still have New Deal programs and structure, but... thought crime May 2025 #128

Not sure who generally considered it to have ended in the 70s mzmolly May 2025 #134

Yes, Trump & Co. is trying to "dismantle the Administrative State" thought crime May 2025 #137

Read This: Chasstev365 May 2025 #42

So now we're going back to the 80s? SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #43

Can we go back to April? mzmolly May 2025 #46

There's very little left to destroy SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #56

The fact that some programs no longer exist mzmolly May 2025 #61

Yes they no longer exist because the new deal ended decades ago SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #66

You get A, for repetitive commentary. mzmolly May 2025 #73

Good. SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #122

Benefit is relative Keepthesoulalive May 2025 #65

I am not saying there wasn't a necessary evolution mzmolly May 2025 #80

It wasn't because of altruism Keepthesoulalive May 2025 #89

"need to focus on the future, not the past"--- that's why we didn't Jack Valentino May 2025 #69

Yes certain programs still remain SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #72

Defending is not "rehashing", unless you think we should throw all those programs Jack Valentino May 2025 #85

Never said to throw anything under the bus SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #95

so noted. I think the new administration should be referred to as Jack Valentino May 2025 #97

Definitely SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #99

Well mzmolly May 2025 #84

Actually, New Deal economic programs DO resonate with voters thought crime May 2025 #132

I think democrats need to focus on policies that will resonate SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #135

The New Deal Era lasted into the 70's thought crime May 2025 #139

I don't know SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #140

Yes, a Kamala loss, beaten by Trump and even there were Democrats who didn't vote. elocs May 2025 #34

Don't tell that to Bill Clinton or Barack Obama DFW May 2025 #114

The difference being that Clinton and Obama won. SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #125

Obviously DFW May 2025 #142

But they have to be hetero white men ? JI7 May 2025 #39

Running just white men and not supporting women or people of color is wrong Pris May 2025 #71

Right to run, differs from mzmolly May 2025 #106

In the '30s and '60s Democrats had large majorities and bipartisan Republicans to work with. betsuni May 2025 #100

Because some are locked in the past SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #103

The BS "Dems ignore the working class" and "FDR was a democratic socialist not a liberal Democrat so betsuni May 2025 #112

Many people often take a simplistic view SocialDemocrat61 May 2025 #123
