Tea Party: "oh yeah you're bending the knee huh? eat poo poo GOP bitch, you were unloyal and shall taste the sword during primary season" The Left: "oh the people that have done everything they can to ensure we can never do anything now say they are on our side! Yay! "

Pener Kropoopkin posted:iirc the Bush campaign exploited the threat of gay marriage as a wedge issue Well he was still running as a Republican. (He also torpedoed McCain's chances in the 2000 primary by putting it out there that he had an illegitimate black child, as I recall.) I'm thinking mostly of the whole 'compassionate conservative' thing. Al! posted:that and sticking it to the eggheads in washington like al gore with an outsider like the former presidents son He's just a folksy everyday guy with a trust fund and a Yale degree and a membership in Skull & Bones. (Man, I just remembered the conspiracy-minded folks in my neck of the woods in 2004 going NUTS because both Bush and Kerry were in Skull & Bones.)

docbeard posted:Are you just talking about people who are saying they'd rather have Bush back than Trump (which I would hardly call an embrace of GWB) or are there actual people saying they think Bush was some kind of moderate? i would assume hillary thinks he's a moderate since she's willing to get a burger with the guy

Sanders Won’t Run as a Democrat in 2018: Party Model ‘Obviously Is Not Working’ It probably doesn't say good things about me that I see this headline and think "good, it'd please bad dems way too much if he changed his party registration just to appease them" I friggin' love that the most influential Democrat is actually an Independent because the rah-rah party-loyalty Team-Blue Dems who hate the idea of a Democrat being criticized more than they hate anything else are the main reason I never registered Democratic either

comedyblissoption posted:basic income is just a patch on the insanity of capitalism that naturally results in mass unemployment and incredible inequality. as a patch, fine. but it should definitely not be an end goal. dystopia is a capitalist hellhole of a mass of unemployed receiving ubi stipends to consume For me it's more about rebalancing the power structure of employment. If I no longer need to work in order to survive/maintain a reasonably comfortable life, then the people who need work done need to offer better reasons for me to do it. Now, if the UBI isn't enough to really live on, then things in that regard actually get worse, but that's a solvable problem.

loquacius posted:Sanders Won’t Run as a Democrat in 2018: Party Model ‘Obviously Is Not Working’ Fond as I am of referring to Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders as a Democrat, which he is, I agree. He's effectively defining by example what the Democratic Party should be, and the people who resist (and #resist) that are the ones who are in the wrong.

Joementum posted:Medicare buy in is now the centrist Democrat opinion because people have realized that Republicans are going to call anything socialism so if they're going to do healthcare programs, they should be ones that work and are easy to defend rather than the patchwork quilt that is Obamacare.
