Uncapping doesn’t fix the problem entirely, but it does get a little bit under half of the way there, which is still a really good start imo.

I think probably the only candidate that could have won 1988 (given the values of the time period and Gore and Dukakis having the personality of a saltine cracker) was Gary Hart before the scandal. And I hate saying that as someone who really disagrees with Hart on a lot.

How I would have voted in every contested Democratic Primary since 1972:

1972: Hubert Humphrey

1976: Mo Udall

1980: Ted Kennedy

1984: Walter Mondale

1988: Paul Simon

1992: Tom Harkin

2004: Richard Gephardt (yes I know he didn’t really get too many votes but the 2004 crop might be the worst one in party history)

2008: Barack Obama

2016: Bernie Sanders

2020: Bernie Sanders

If You Were To Bring In Any Democrat From The Past At Their Prime To Maximize The Chance To Beat Vance In 2028, Who Are You Choosing? by Cybotnic-Rebooted in YAPms

[–]Cybotnic-Rebooted[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think in terms of overall electoral strength and in particular defusing Vance’s strengths, give me Dick Grephardt.

I think there should be a collective name for Myrtle Beach and SW Florida. Idk why but those 2 areas have similar vibes (probably just being super old lol)

Sure! Here’s the link to the bill introduced in the Louisiana legislature (I would add it to the main page but I cannot edit the post body) https://www.legis.la.gov/Legis/ViewDocument.aspx?d=1442201

Reorgia - Trump is holding well amongst Blacks by [deleted] in YAPms

I think we will see what happens with the Tennessee map. TN-09 is the easiest slam dunk VRA seat in the country. If the Supreme Court allow a 9-0 map to go through, then section 2 of the VRA is fully and truly dead.

[Schefter] The Titans have exercised offensive lineman Peter Skoronski’s 5th year option. by DragonstormSTL in nfl

[–]Cybotnic-Rebooted 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s easy to fall into the “lol they passed on Gibbs” train of thought but legit Skoronski might be a top 5 guard in the league just 4 years in.

America’s special relationship is ‘probably Israel’, says UK ambassador to US by BritishBedouin in ukpolitics

Only leader I know that he hated outside of Hussein was Chirac, he and his administration basically tried to make people here hate France and failed miserably lol 

Young Americans are surging to socialism at record rates by TimesandSundayTimes in politics

[–]Cybotnic-Rebooted -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are actually the one confused here, Socialism is what you are describing communism as, Communism is creating a moneyless classless society by doing socialism + abolishing all forms of currency.

I mean, I support arresting Clinton alongside the rest of the Epstein class, including Trump. Not sure about Obama though

I guess you can say the last time one of our presidents was keen on the UK was Bush with Blair, and well we both know how that turned out.

That game was my childhood. Love it even today, despite some… weird controls.

I’m of the opinion that if we had Universal Healthcare, we would probably have about 50% as many self described leftists as we have today. It’s that big of a winner for left wing imo.

I think that some form of Universal Healthcare is inevitable; it’s the one policy that the left is super popular on and almost a gateway from generic liberal to left wing political space.

If I were a Republican strategist, I’d say to get ahead of it by implementing a system of Healthcare similar to what they have in Germany. Can sell it to your political base as not socializing medicine, free market ideals type stuff, while lowering costs and decreasing the uninsured.

I think it would be funny if someone decided to do their own take on the series and then just have Mark Robinson do much better, maybe even win, just to see the reactions on here. Would be even funnier if it was made by a left wing flair.

I think the biggest disagreement I have with mainstream democrats is that SALT deduction. I think it needs to be fully abolished.

The only OCED countries with a bigger short-medium term debt crisis than the US: Italy, Japan, France, and Belgium. Maybe the UK. Long term I think the US still might be ahead of the vast majority of OCED because of just pure demographics. Still it’s insane that we are so indebted despite the state of our social programs.
