Suck it centrists

Filed in National by on February 28, 2019

I love how Liberals have had to hold their noses for years and vote for walking mediocrities like Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and John Kerry and now that the tables have turned, holding one’s nose is just terrible. TERRIBLE, I say!

    Neither a nose holder nor Centrist be, would suggest be a real Democrat instead.

    I see your fuck the police and raise you a fuck all DINOS, Carper and Coons go first.

  4. RE Vanella says:

    As long as they aren’t running for president, yes. If they were to run for president they’re pragmatic and fine and you’ll be banned!

    I disagreed with on some issues but voted for these three and find your characterization of mediocrity baffling:
    Gore-Among the first in the political class to fiercely crusade about the apocalypse of climate change.
    Clinton-a fierce feminist as first lady who courageously stood up to miscegeny.
    Kerry-An anti-war vet who spoke truth to power on the tragic error of Vietnam.

    What does one have to do to attain your admiration, or at least, minimal respect?

    • RE Vanella says:

      Something that has some material relevance.

      On that score I have always admired Gore for the climate position (as well as his debate comments about the social security “lock-box”, which is sort of proto MMT, and the internet thing). He was mocked for all this but he was proved prescient.

      Clinton and Kerry can just retire. Zero value for me.

      They were mediocre presidential candidates. They all lost, hence the judgment.

    Likability. Can’t get elected without it.

    Gore- Will earn my respect when he doesn’t pick Joe Liebermann for VP then run a shit-ass campaign thereby allowing GWB to be elected.

    Clinton- Similar. Also, the stain of “third-way” DLC-economics that she never tried to wash off.

    Kerry- Meh. More trying to win by 50%+1 in the electoral college while trying to be just bland enough to win the “middle” and providing no nationalized Democratic message or campaign.

    The idiocy between revanell jason 330
    And Alby is enough idiocy energy to cause an explosion.
    Hillary Clinton was a woman who trailblazed pushing healthcare for all in the 90s
    Kerry fought the Vietnam war in congress when that was not popular and oh yea got fucking shot
    Gore has made climate change a real
    Issue. Yep a regular bunch of
    Republicans.

    As my daddy said you can fix stupid

    • Alby says:

      And all of them lost. Which part of that did you miss? The statement that they were mediocrities was made in reference to their presidential candidacies, not their fucking resumes. Don’t play dumb.

      Calling the people you disagree with “stupid’ isn’t a convincing argument. Do you have any evidence that these people were good choices as presidential nominees? If so, produce it so we can move this discussion forward. Because all you’re proving now is that you’re a conventional-wisdom-spouting automaton.

      Are you sure that’s what your daddy said?

    • Alby says:

      Furthermore, the point here is that they all thought the way to victory was to counteract the stupidity of Republicans. If you’ll recall, John Kerry was selected over Howard Dean because John Kerry would blunt the charge that Democrats were soft on terror. They wouldn’t dare say such things about a decorated veteran! Except of course they did, so one stupid decision to “outfox” the GOP turned into a suicide bomb.

      Hillary Clinton worked on health care because her husband gave her the job. Doing a job someone gave you doesn’t make you a fucking hero.

      Al Gore was indeed right about climate change. But he was stiff and unlikable, so he lost to a more-likable (to people who don’t mind overprivileged frat boys) W.

      We’re talking about presidential politics. If you don’t know anything about it, you might want to shut up.

    I’ll bet you $1,000 I’m smarter than you father.

      “Yep a regular bunch of Republicans.”

      Maybe his Daddy a straw man? Cuz he is chock-a-block with straw man arguments.

    Liberal Candidate=Trump landslide

    Not one liberal candidate is viable outside of the elites, downtrodden and clueless-about 40% of the votes

    McGovern
    Dukakis
    Mondale

    • Dave says:

      If you really believed that, why wouldn’t you be more encouraging for Dems to support a liberal candidate? Don’t you want a Trump landslide?
