re: Serious Question for TBoy and other democrats on this board

MAGA is the middle.

Yeah keep saying it. Surely you can change reality you knucklehead

I could see this happening with the part of the Republican Party that is more centrist also.

Democrats will side with garbage humans like Hasan Piker over other garbage humans like Destiny.

This is some very delusional stuff

It is delusional to say that a movement, lead by a lifelong Democrat, with a cabinet made up of several life long Democrats, with a voter base that included the "Walk Away" movement, and was supported by many life long Democrats like Musk, Rogan and even ex-socialist Brand is close to middle?

Here is where this needs to go

You need to realize the meme is indeed true. If you weren't so "my team", you probably would see that.

If you really dig a little deeper, you’ll find the DSA represent a pretty small percentage of the party. The get a lot of attention because they tend to create noise and news. The center will prevail long term

---

Yes, but that small percentage is taking over the party. Look at the trans population. They are approx 1% of the total population and look at all of the hoops people have jumped through over the past decade to appease them. The center moderate democrats appear to have zero voice.

For those who say it is all about power, if the DSA gets power they will not bend to the will of the centralists. They will smack them down as they would any Republican.

some of the Democratic Leadership such as AOC, Bernie, Liz Warren

Not a dem, but this isn't the democratic leadership. None of them hold leadership positions in the house or the senate. They're the media darlings that the media has chosen to focus on. That doesn't make them "leadership" and they don't set the agenda of the democratic party. I've always said that if AOC was 280lbs and 20 years older, she wouldn't be a household name.

Isn't this what they said about the Nazis and Bolsheviks? BTW, your party has no center.

I have a bad feeling this will not end well.

I’m not a Democrat but a #NeverTrump unreconstructed dubya neocon. I’ve never actually voted for a Democrat that I recall, but I sort of keep hoping they will counterweight to MAGA. But, as you rightly point out, there’s little reason for optimism.

What’s much worse from my perspective as a conservative of the beforetimes is that Vance and Trump undermine the intellectual framework built over decades on the right to oppose socialism, government interference in the free market, trade restrictions, etc. His venal, corrupt, nihilistic rule has been a near complete destruction of the bulwark against socialism. What good is all this polemic against communism while you take pieces of private companies, undermine federalism and the rule of law, and explicitly reject the free market case made by our intellectual heavyweights over years (eg vance on Milton Friedman).

So i think your concerns are valid. And that you need to look in the mirror. One day when this fever dream is over, you might be able to see things clearly.
