loquacius posted:Romneycare was the one non-lovely thing Mitt Romney ever did in his life Of course, Romney didn't really "do" Romneycare. He was against it, but came on board after the legislature was clearly going to pass it. The Dems had a supermajority, and even then he vetoed a bunch of parts of bill only to have them all overridden. Concerned Citizen has issued a correction as of 15:59 on Mar 1, 2017 |

Spiderfist Island posted:I think the main reason for the average centrist Dem being ideologically broke brained is that after Bernie showed that you could be a socialist in public, enough people started to self-identify or come out as being a group left of Center-Liberals. The group existed beforehand but always acted as the junior partner to the third-way Dems because they either didn't realize that their interests weren't in the same place or that recognized they were outnumbered and it was the lesser of two evils. Now that there's a societally-recognized distinction between the two both in economic policy (social democrat/rad-socialist vs. neoliberal) and political organization/ideal (mass politics vs. technocratic elite), the Left and Center are now speaking with separate voices in culture and politics. The people who identify with the Old Guard are freaking out because suddenly they're surrounded by an enemy within the ranks who used to be a loyal nothing but suddenly mutated into a different ideology overnight. Bernie showed you could be a socialist in public decades ago What he did in 2016 was show socialists that there are better ways to accomplish things than sitting in the corner whining about how no one listens to them The old guard don't give a poo poo about the actual socialists, but they've noticed that the socialist message seems to have resonated among the working class in a way that the centrist message of continued capitalism has not, and are seeking to co-opt that message before the socialists can steal the working class away from them meanwhile, Buttigieg just sings the fundamental truths of the world. to see the best future, look to the butt

In all seriousness I wish someone should bring to the national spotlight the fact that we now have an amazing suite of HIV drugs which reduce both the chance to infect others and the chance to be infected by 99%, and they aren't being thrown at gay communities by the bucketload for free yet Lipservice and pseudodocumentaries about The Brave Fight are cool and all, but what are dems gonna actually, y'know, do for us

of course, it was important for the party to put bernie in his place for taking senators who vote with repubs to block drug reimportation. we wouldn't want centrists to be afraid of helping republicans achieve their goals

The silver lining of Keith Ellison not getting DNC chair is that now the way is clear for him to run himself Also Liz Warren, I think she would finally run if enough people went "pwetty pwease" and she didn't have to worry about angering the Clinton machine anymore
