Pelosi to House Dems: Progressive agenda is dead

[GothTalk]

The D's are not the Left.

Yes they are.

Again.... "not left enough for pecks personal liking" doesn't make them not leftist.

They are, definitively so.

 

[Rightguide]

The D's are not the Left.

They are to the sane.

 

[YDB95]

The Democrats need to win back most of the once Solid South, and most of the white working class. They will not do so by whimpering over the deaths of people like George Floyd.

They've already got Georgia and Virginia back, and North Carolina is inching in their direction, with Texas on the horizon. And no, they don't need to be me-too Republicans to make it happen.

Ummm, Virginia just got taken over by the Republicans again, and they are busy rolling time back.

Not something about which you would know.

You guys just lost Virginia and Texas got more red as a state.... and is nowhere on the progressive horizon.

LMFAO!!! How are you so detached from reality?? Are you a peck alt??

I carry the weight of what I know, you have to be directed to look it up and shown how.

The Democrats need to win back white blue collar workers. A white working class that is a Republican constituency is a bizarre anomaly, for which the Democrat Party is responsible.

What the Dems need to do is soft-pedal social liberalism -- which is certain to win out in the long run anyway -- and play up economic populism -- which isn't.

That would be a solid shift right and require you guys to lay off the authoritarianism and control in a HUGE way....I mean a massive shift toward supporting civil rights at least if not SOME individual rights.

Ummm, Virginia just got taken over by the Republicans again, and they are busy rolling time back.

Ummm, Massachusetts has a Republican governor and Kansas has a Democratic one. That doesn't mean anything whatsoever with respect to how each state votes for President, and Virginia has gone blue in the last four elections.

The Republicans took the House of Delegates back in this last election as well as taking the governor's mansion, lieutenant governor, and attorney general (Virginia is notable for splitting those positions a lot). Youngkin has already undone much of what the Democratic administration did in the last four years (and he's only been in office for a week) and the Republican attorney general has already fired the chief counsel of the University of Virginia for helping with the House January 6th investigation and has dropped Virginia's brief in favor of keeping Roe vs Wade. The Republican knives are out. We in Virginia aren't feeling that blue already.

I get that. But it's beside the point with respect to how VA votes for president, and if anything it's likely to drive up Democratic turnout in 2024.

Where was I any of those things???

My assessment was spot on. That's why you're so triggered about it.

The only thing Republican politicians really care about is making the rich richer. That is what they do when they have the power to do it. Republican campaign rhetoric nearly always concerns social issues. Trump began his campaign talking about how terrible Mexican immigrants are. The first thing he did as president was to cut taxes for the rich.

I know some Mexican immigrants. They are far better people than Trump.

 

[Champakian]

That idea has already been declared DOA by the D's themselves. Or aren't you up on current events and news?

They sure as hell want to continue to run their elections the way they always have...

 

[colddiesel]

For years there has been popular support for a more progressive tax system.

That should be a Democrat issue.

The bottom 50% of federal taxpayers pay only 3% of income taxes collected. The first party to promise to reduce the number of taxpayers by 50% will be backing a winner.
Neither party is smart enough to do it. Yet.

Then why has the Democrat Party become the bastion of the rich and famous?

Can you produce a list of the wealthiest donors and where their money goes?

You should look it up and show us and make those "other" posters eat crow.

He won't/can't. He is steeped in the lies and propaganda of the progressive future where the poor will live like kings because the kings have all been dethroned.

They will be led by the new kings of the left... the rich & famous you mentioned.

The new AG fired the entire State Parole Board as well and is conducting a criminal investigation into their policy of releasing the most dangerous prisoners.
