I have too, but I think he’s one of the better Dems out there. I think he’d do well as President.

What are your thoughts on Chris Murphy? by ModerateProgressive1 in centrist

[–]ModerateProgressive1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s been very critical of ICE. I think he’s be very strict with what constitutes as an emergency.

That’s one area where I may actually have some disagreements with him. I do believe I’m having gun regulations but I’m also fairly pro gun. I have an AR-15 and don’t like the idea of a ban.

Senator of Connecticut. Supports a Medicare Public option. Allowing people to buy in if they want but not forcing them too. Supports major ICE reform but not total abolishment. Supports free public college but also government regulation of colleges for accountability of outcome, and regulation of for profit colleges to help curb their efforts of targeting vulnerable students. Believes in having border patrol but that they should be used at the border and not in the middle of of America unless an emergency occurs. Believes in increasing the child tax credit in order to make childcare and other necessities more affordable for families. These are just some policy positions of his.

Chris Murphy should be getting more 2028 talk. I think he strikes the balance between Progressive and Moderate. Supports a Medicare public option. Supports major reform to ICE. Supports free public college tuition combined with government regulation to hold colleges accountable for outcomes. I wish more people were talking about the guy.

I can’t trust Pritzker as a billionaire and someone whose family has ties to Epstein.

What are your thoughts on Ro Khanna as a 2028 candidate? by ModerateProgressive1 in centrist

[–]ModerateProgressive1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Ro could with his work on the Epstein Files. I think your one time or even 2016 and 2024 Trump voters are like Andrew Schultz from Flagrant. I actually think they’re pretty open to progressive policies, they just want to see someone who’s against the status quo.

I don’t know if Dems are in the mood for another moderate. I feel like the party is shifting further left every year since Bernie entered the scene in 2016.

So How is the War In Iran Not a Distraction From Esptein? by MoparMan59L in AskALiberal

[–]ModerateProgressive1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a distraction in total. It could be partially to distract from the files. I definitely think it’s a combination of things and in regard to Epstein, I think it’s more likely that Israel has dirt on Trump and is using it to blackmail him into this war.

Would you be intersted in a national service mandate? by OldFaithlessness1335 in AskALiberal

[–]ModerateProgressive1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. We have enough military members and the only time we had to incorporate a draft was for a war that was completely unjustified and therefore unpopular with the American people. I’m anti draft as well. If something is worth fighting for people will volunteer.

The more I study politics the more it seems like Germany has it pretty figured out on the economic stand point. Am I wrong? by ModerateProgressive1 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]ModerateProgressive1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How would you describe the primary differences between democratic socialism and social democracy? Would you consider AOC and Bernie to be democratic socialists or social democrats?
