Also, lol at the idea that a voting-age adult watched the 2016 elections and had the take away of "let's do the same thing, but with even more milquetoast centrism!". Can't see how Trump will be able to withstand the promise of means-tested tax credits for health insurance months after an expensive operation bankrupts you or a market-based solution to climate change 30 years after major ecosystems collapse.

If someone can't see that then gently caress em, there's no appealing to them anyway.

Why won't they vote for him AGAIN? I'm just saying that Omar ain't helping by running her n00b yapper when there is already a spotlight on her with a shitload of people on the left and right waiting for her to gently caress up because shes a proud muslim.

Maybe people in her own party waiting for her to gently caress up/jumping on that and ignoring the insane racist poo poo the other side is throwing her way/doing to the "other" is indicative of what's hosed with her political party that could use changes, I dunno maybe we should ask Diane Feinstein for guidance on what to do

Vasudus posted:i'm a reformed centrist democrat that has been pushed further to the left out of political necessity and it's been for the better Yup same here. It’s definitely been for the better. E: everything anyone with a D next to their name does is bad so why bother with trying to negotiate? Mitt Romney’s healthcare, Clinton’s foreign policy, and regans tax brackets were ~socialism~ under Obama. Why should we all be bankrupt when our health inevitably fails us or why should we allow a select few to profit off the upcoming climate disaster when we could try doing something even if it is late? Centrists don’t want to do anything meaningful. Listening to Dem millionaire candidates try to sell us on “affordable” healthcare with market based solutions and means testing is going to get absolutely nobody excited to vote. Virtually every other wealthy nation has something to prevent the inevitable from leaving you destitute. Also I’m sure some more carbon taxes and feel good policies focused on individual carbon footprint not corporate or gov’t footprint will stop climate change! Better not rock the boat! Centrism is nothing but preserving the status quo and the status quo is not working for the majority of America. The venn diagram of “people who don’t feel the negative effects of republican policies” and “centrist democrats” is a perfect circle.

If she was out there actually running her n00b yapper and saying dumb poo poo (like putting the coal industry out of work, calling people deplorables, etc) I'd agree.

They're thoroughly unused to being rebuked by someone who they would typically objectify, as the conservative echo chamber has done nothing but reinforce the idea that hot women agree with them 100% of the time. And it unsettles the poo poo out of them.

No, it's a non-profit corporation under the joint sponsorship of the Dem and Rep political parties. It was created because when the league of women voters was running the debates (pre-88) they had much stricter rules and the candidates had much less control over what they would be asked.

Like seriously, from wiki: After studying the election process in 1985, the bipartisan National Commission on Elections recommended "[t]urning over the sponsorship of Presidential debates to the two major parties".[2] The CPD was established in 1987 by the chairmen of the Democratic and Republican Parties to "take control of the Presidential debates".[2] The commission was staffed by members from the two parties and chaired by the heads of the Democratic and Republican parties, Paul G. Kirk and Frank Fahrenkopf.[2] At a 1987 press conference announcing the commission's creation, Fahrenkopf said that the commission was not likely to include third-party candidates in debates, and Kirk said he personally believed they should be excluded from the debates.[2] In 1988, the League of Women Voters withdrew its sponsorship of the presidential debates after the George H. W. Bush and Michael Dukakis campaigns secretly agreed to a "memorandum of understanding" that would decide which candidates could participate in the debates, which individuals would be panelists (and therefore able to ask questions), and the height of the lecterns. The League rejected the demands and released a statement saying that it was withdrawing support for the debates because "the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud on the American voter."[4] The CPD has run the debates in every election since then. It's just a bit of political theater for people to repeat prepared talking points, for the most part. The best indicator of what someone is going to do once they get into office is what they've tried to get done prior to that, not the poo poo they're saying during a year and a half long job interview.

We shouldn't call decades long drains on our military and treasury "forever war" because other countries have in the past decided to fight longer ones? If you're super worried about weltpolitik and America's short attention span, please remember: the fish rots from the head.
