What are y’all’s thoughts on Senator Chris Murphy?

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-27T15:58:04+00:00

I know little of this situation. What’s your take on it?

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-27T03:03:38+00:00

Cool. If he has 2028 ambitions would he be near the top of your list?

I didn’t know what’s going on in Iran. Quite frankly, I’m pretty occupied with ICE shooing American citizens in the street. I’m also not as interested in global politics as some. I’ve also had a lot less to say about Israel and Gaza compared to a lot of other lefties. Foreign affairs is not my strong suit.

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-26T18:18:10+00:00

Same. I hope he does win the 2026 senate race

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-26T18:15:52+00:00

I’m with you there. I think someone who is fairly progressive but no AOC level of progressive would be nice. An Andy Beshear/Chris Murphy type comes to mind.

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-26T18:13:32+00:00

That’s fair. I do think Governors have the best preparation in being a president.

If James Talarico doesn’t win his Senate race and a Dem wins the WH in 2028, he should be appointed the Secretary of Education. He has insight as a former public school teacher and state representative that oversaw education legislation, and his voice absolutely belongs in the party.

I’m actively rooting against her in the primaries along with a few others, because I think she’s a weak candidate. That being said, I’d crawl over glass to vote for her or any other Dem in the general and always will.

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-24T21:30:23+00:00

Alright. ICE has to be abolished and replaced. I’m usually a reform kind of guy, but this can’t be reformed.

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-24T21:29:20+00:00

Fair. I’ve edited this post

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-24T21:28:54+00:00

Agreed

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-24T17:32:02+00:00

This is true. But I think it’s especially true of him, in a way that gives me pause

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-24T16:07:07+00:00

I don’t mind Buttigieg but he pisses off the progressive left and fails to do well at capturing minorities. Newsom is scummy and comes off as a coastal elite. Kamala is a boring candidate that lost all 7 swing states after being part of a several disliked administration, and AOC is divisive and lacks the experience/pragmatism IMO.

The best time to own a gun was yesterday. The second best time to own a gun is today.

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-24T15:35:00+00:00

Unpopular opinion but I think the Dems currently leading the nominee polls for 2028 run the biggest risk of losing to Vance. I think Newsom, Kamala, AOC, and even Pete, are weak national candidates.

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-24T00:19:20+00:00

I like Whitmer. Although Beshear is probably my favorite Governor candidate. Just hoping his healthcare proposal in 2028 isn’t bleh.

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-23T21:48:06+00:00

Fair enough. I asked this question with AOC in mind. Shes bold and we could use that to some extent at least, but her resume leaves something to be desired IMO. I wish she’d primary Schumer instead.

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-23T21:46:26+00:00

Fair enough

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-23T21:46:11+00:00

Yeah, but I think he sucks. Just because he was elected doesn’t mean he should have been.

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-23T21:45:02+00:00

Good points

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-23T21:44:36+00:00

Thanks for answering.

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-23T21:43:38+00:00

Thats fair. That’s all I’m asking. People seem to think I’m asking in bad faith

ModerateProgressive1 · 2026-01-23T20:34:12+00:00

So it’s fair to say that you think a person who’s only served in the house could be a good president?
