" Affordable housing and childcare?"

And sensible gun control laws?

It is almost like voters never, ever vote against their best interests, and always vote for candidates who promise to support such overwhelmingly popular ("polls well") issues.

Right?

And the GOPyers never, ever misconstrue such Democratic issues, and twist them in their own electoral favor?

Right?

As I said, life - and politics - are much more nuanced than just Mamdani, AOC and Bernie vs. GOPyers.

" On the other hand Mayor Mamdani had a strategy that worked." ... in NYC ... in 2025 ... against 2 horrible candidates ... in the 1st year of Trump 2.0 ... with GREAT issues ... for NYC.

A recipe that would not work in, say, Little Rock.

As I was trying to say to Clown.

It isn't a cookie-cutter, cut-and-dried formula for everywhere in America.

Why don't democrats run on progressive policies that poll well with voters instead of continuously trying to get votes from moderate conservatives?

Perhaps because there are some places where the votes of moderate conservatives determine the outcome of an election?

And perhaps, just perhaps, child care and affordable housing are not at the top of said voter's issues, that there are other, local issues more important?

You're trying to make every election, everywhere, a Mamdani, AOC, Bernie vs. GOPyer.

Life's a little more nuanced than that, Clown.

#266 Spoken like a true GOPyer, Clown.

Did you happen to sleep through last November's elections?

#260 Oh, and it takes much more than NYC (Mamdani), New York State (AOC) and Vermont (Bernie) to win nationally.

And any national candidate running in 2028 willingly taking on a "socialist" label, regardless of its true meaning, will be political poison in 2028.

Stop making the perfect the enemy of the good.

Your words are music to the RNC's ears.

And that isn't what you really want to happen, is it?

#260 If you hate Newsom so much, then I take it you prefer JD Vance?

Or Don Trump, Jr.?

#260nFind a dime, buy a clue, Clown:

NYC =/= the whole of America.

In fact, the lesson of NYC last November is if Democrats campaign on issues that resonate in their communities, they'll win.

If they try to be Mamdani in, say, Little Rock, they lose.

I would rather have Robert Garcia as chair of the Oversight Committee than James Comer.

And if that means a new, pro-life Democrat from Little Rock, helping to ensure a Democratic majority, than a re-elected GOPyer which keeps the gavel in Comer's hand.

Same with Jim Jordon's committee.

Or Johnson as 3rd in line to the POTUS.

Your hatred of the DNC only proves that the GOP (and internecine warriors) have won; weaken the Democratic Party only helps strengthen the Republicans Party.

Our binary political system is truly a zero-sum game.

Reality.

#57 Of course you don't understand it.

America and its institutions are foreign to you and your ilk.

Your ilk, foreign and domestic.

#55 You have zero idea of what the US Constitution is, and what it means.

#257 Clown, there is no such thing as the "Democrat Party."

To parrot that is to parrot Trump and all the GOPyers who hate the Democratic Party.

And we will never have more Bernies, AOCs and Mamdanis unless and until people like you learn that the perfect is always the enemy of the good.

Or do you prefer Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan, Gomer Comer, James Lankford, Rick Scott, and all the rest in majority roles while what's left of the Democratic minority roles are filled with people who have no power?

Only when the Democratic Party has a stranglehold on power in Washington can there ever be a chance to have more Bernies, AOCs and Mamdanis.

Eye on the prize, Clown.

Eye on the prize.

#7 Say you didn't bother reading the article without actually saying you didn't bother reading the article. smh

#25 I've never defended the 2nd, Eb.

The 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution has done absolutely nothing positive for the USA.

That said, however, so long as it is there, then F%&k the hypocrites on the right who want it two ways:

AOK for them to show up at any kind of protest, armed to the teeth.

BAD if it is "others."

#27 Interesting how fishpud regurgitated, almost verbatim, what the Trump minions are saying on TV.

fishpud Polly wants a cracker.

#32 A "governmental right"?

Better not let the coward boaz hear that!

#27 And the reply from "Mr. Common Sense"?

Crickets.

#247 Which means he will still need 20 more plonks to reach your "level"

LOL!

#248 Apparently, Beijing must have solved its air polution problem.

Good to hear.

#534 Flag: Sounds like the poor kids you taught

#244 Flag:A_Friend, sometimes you are magnificent. A+. Posted by visitor_

MAGA Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chair of the House Oversight Committee, suggested on Sunday that if the Trump administration did not pull its federal immigration force out of Minneapolis, "there's a chance of losing more innocent lives."

When you've lost Gomer Comer ...

#7 TDS?

I think we can all agree that Trump is deranged.

Good call, fishpud.

#77 Flag: Acute introspection

Another rationalization for murder by bell boi.

Another impotent attempt to distract from the disaster that is the Trumpf and his minions.

And notice how bell boi never posts anything at all about any Trumpf "accomplishments"?

So all he has are rightwing nut OpEds that are as full of bull excrement as bell boi is.
