" Democratic Centrists Need to Stop Saying “Both Sides” Have “Extremes” Yes, democratic socialists are left of traditional Democrats. But they aren’t remotely as radical—or anywhere near as powerful—as the MAGA right"

I disagree with you.

7/5/2026 7:03:09 PM

cool, man

7/5/2026 7:06:04 PM

You know what's even cooler than two people respectfully disagreeing?

Being a dismissive jackass and taking your ball home.

Quite literally, TGL just doesnt have anything to say. He cannot explain any of his positions or opinions.

i feel like tgl3 and rwoody would think this is 180 degrees backwards

Good idea if these voters weren't so irredeemably dumb and gullible and unable to admit and own their mistakes.

Sure, come on over!

There are plenty of former conservative voters here who can't stomach Trump and his stupid-ass movement. Because they have a functioning brain. Not enough of us.

^^tgl and I have similar political views but very different personalities

As for what Pete said, I'm happy to welcome Trump voters, I am NOT happy for candidates to tack right to court them

^Ya I was almost gonna say I bet tgl would agree after clicking the link. It's pretty good stuff tbh. I'm back and forth on Mayor Pete but I liked that.

7/15/2026 10:58:13 PM

What makes you back and forth if you don't mind me asking?

He seems like he'd be competent, can't seem to connect with minorities though

7/15/2026 11:04:22 PM

Tbh I don't have the brain space to have detailed memories of these candidates this far out from presidential elections, I remember the vibes. But based on limited memory, I think he tacks to the right too often.

I'd prob rather have him than almost any of the other more center leaning potential 2028 candidate though, as of today.

Dunno if there is a dedicated AOC thread but her stop in TN was pretty cringe.

7/20/2026 11:00:30 AM

^Perhaps this is what you are looking for

7/20/2026 11:17:35 AM

Shit, I even posted in that thread.

Mega-fail.
