The Squad is going to cause a lot of issues for Dems in purple districts and blue districts in more “conservative” (ie not insane) areas. They think they are the majority of the Dem party but they aren’t and it’s making true Dems very nervous.

Moderate dims used to just be called democrats. Clinton would be a Republican by today's standards.

Will the Just-arse Dims be the catalyst that bring the great pendulum, which swung far over the leftist abyss thanks to Jug Ears, back into balance...

Whilst under Trump's second term...

That would be...


Justice.

Aoc etc are no different than democrats have always been. Same beliefs and goals. Aoc etc just think the time to hide the ideology has past.

I'm sure these "Justice Democrats" have a strong following in Austin.

If Dem voters are energized by socialism, then their party is mis-named, and the Dem party needs to be called the Socialist party.


Because Dems are trained liars and this is the only way they can get it past the majority.

Things like “we have to pass it to see what’s in it” is a classic example of this. Gruber was honest about everything he said.

No, he wouldn't. Bill Clinton is a progressive who was pragmatic enough to shift to the center in order to avoid becoming a one-term president. But make no mistake, he is a progressive.

He is a progressive but his rhetoric/actions during the 90s would put him somewhere between the tea party and the klan in the modern political spectrum.

FIFY.

Just have to disagree with you here baw.

Billy has never been an ideologue. It's what allowed him to pivot and cater so easily.

A moderate party that puts America first. You can be left or right of center as long as you represent your community and do what's best for them.

Every candidate pledges to do his best to represent his community and vows to run for a two term maximum.

A moderate party for a better America

The existing parties are A REFLECTION of America

Again. I'm fascinated by how many people don't realize this.

If being moderate got you elected, our politicians would be moderate

That's fine No hard feelings.

He was devoted to the leftist cause to such a degree that he allowed his wife to create a healthcare bill that makes obamacare look prudent. His progressive failures led to the Republican Revolution of 94.

Now, I won't put him in the same box as many of today's democrats but he's a long long way from being a Republican.

But you do have a valid point if we concede Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney are Republicans. Bill would be in that mix.
