From remains an unabashed centrist who believes that economic growth, not the economic populism of Sanders or Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is the answer. “It’s important the critical mass in the Democratic party show that it’s the party of opportunity, responsibility and community but not the party of the left,” he insists.

He also argues that the party should not be afraid to talk about law enforcement and developing a system of community policing rather than urging “defund the police”. Likewise it should embrace the idea of legal immigration and a border that is under control. From applauds governors who have made jobs available to people without college degrees.

    Yeah. I’m done with the dems. After seeing pelosi win from her hospital bed I knew there was no future for this party. Their only identity now is the “not trump” party, which doesnt work when half the country views him favourably.

      The Democrats and Republicans being the only game in town is a consequence of our first-past-the-post voting system. We are stuck with the Dems until we change the system. To refuse to use the Democratic Party, our only to effective political tool, is to refuse to engage meaningfully in politics.

        With the recent crushing defeat, and the dems learning NOTHING, they seem content to keep losing. Every vote for them is wasted anyways so might as well toss it to a third party. One that can actually hold a fucking primary.

        God the dems piss me off so much.
