    We have to factor in the Obama con, otherwise we are going to continue to get folks like the senator from Arizona and the rep who had a stroke…. Folks who say one thing and then turn around and do something completely different once in office… like Obama

    Sorry I am having a brain fart and can’t remember their names the senator was a woman her name begins with an s she may be from Maine she kept blocking Biden’s agenda with manchen from West Virginia…. Although as much of a fucker as manchen is his base probably liked his decisions

    Kirsten sinema? Ugh… I can’t remember her name sorry

      Not when talking about the 08 campaign. Because regardless of follow thru thru it showed that was the type of campaign people would vote for.

      2012 showed that moderate compromise on the 08 platform resulted in a decrease of votes.

      Obviously I agree that a president who ran a campaign like 08, and then actually followed thru would be better.

        You can ignore history I guess… but yes, progressive messaging does attract supermajorities of voters from both sides of the aisle… but I personally refuse to continue voting for neoliberals or politicians who receive aipac bribes
