Your parent's Democratic Party is dead
The democrat party is nothing like it once was. It is now an elitist collection of bi coastal secular progressives appealing to an ever radicalized further left than ever urban fringe. They have lost middle America and the working class and are about to lose Hispanic and African American support too.

Your parent's Democratic Party is dead
It is difficult to find an area of growth for Democrats today
Long gone is the Democratic Party of your parents’ generation. They have morphed and contorted themselves into a political party no longer relatable or recognizable to most of America.
Today’s Democratic Party embraces the extreme, rewards the radical, shuns the sensible, and caters to the contemptible.

Not too long ago there were Democrats who were concerned about the finances of the country. They were affectionately referred to as "Blue Dog Democrats" who were worried about deficits and debt. There is no place for them in today’s Democratic Party. President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris just introduce the largest budget ever with the largest tax increase ever requested. There very few "Blue Dogs" in Congress, and they are on their way to extinction.
Leftist policies have become so extreme, even traditional liberals no longer recognize today’s Democratic party. With never ending mask mandates, mandatory vaccinations, and control of individual self-determination, liberalism has been abandoned.
In the case of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) they have altered their liberal approach to free speech for everyone, no matter what they say. Now the ACLU that first considers if it is an assistance to the progressives. They even went so far as to justify mask mandates, stating, "Far from compromising civil liberties, vaccine mandates actually further them." Really?
Ira Glasser, the outspoken former ACLU Executive Director in January 2022 told Bill Maher, ""The ACLU has become … more of a political partisan, what they call ‘progressive’ organization."
Today’s Democratic Party prioritizes illegal entry into the USA while abandoning the rule of law. They fight for the suspected and convicted criminals while ignoring the victims.
Often you will hear Democrats refer to rural America with contempt, labeling them as clinging to their guns and their religion while simultaneously lumping them together as uneducated. Rarely do you here them talk about "middle America" nor express a genuine understanding of what life is like outside of New York, Washington, and San Francisco.
Bill Hogseth, chair of the Dunn County Democratic Party in Wisconsin, in 2020 wrote in Politico, "The pain and struggle in my community is real, yet rural people do not feel it is taken seriously by the Democratic Party. My fear is that Democrats will continue to blame rural voters for the red-sea electoral map and dismiss these voters as backward."
Democrats are losing blue collar workers, parents, young voters, Hispanics, etc. It is difficult to find an area of growth for Democrats today.
It is policy that is repelling the voters. Inflation, energy, foreign policy, immigration, taxes, crime, and extreme positions on mask mandates, gender, and education all are driving people away from the Democratic Party.
GREENSBORO, USA - APRIL 14: US President Joe Biden delivering remarks on his Administrationâs efforts to make more in America, rebuild our supply chains here at home, and bring down costs for the American people as part of Building a Better America in Greensboro, NC, on April 14, 2022.

Beyond the policy positions, they also lack dynamic leadership. Clinton and Obama were charismatic personalities that brought people into the party. Not anymore.
Joe Biden was supposed to be a uniter, a man with a plan, and a seasoned senator who could get things done in Congress. None of those turned out to be true. Combined with his poor communication skills, and a Vice President who speaks incoherently, there is not much hope for the Democratic Party’s future. They have failed to build a bench of upcoming leaders that relates to anyone outside New York and San Francisco.
With policy that lurched to the far left and leadership that is aging out, today’s Democratic Party is dead. While the leaders of the Democratic Party wonder out loud, "Why don’t they like us more," most Americans understand today’s party is no longer offers them a home.

Historically, the best presidential candidates are:
So if the incumbent doesn't run (too old and feeble) and the VP is not viable (and she isn't), my guess is you're looking for a Democratic governor from a large-medium sized state, preferably with a bit of a centrist background who can run well in enemy territory.
Gavin Newsome has the hair, but could probably only beat Trump in a national election.
Inslee would never be able to overcome the never-ending shenanigans in Seattle.
Roy Cooper of NC looks interesting, as does Andy Beshear of KY.
Supposedly Biden told Obama that he intends to run in 2024. It seems that Obama doesn't like the idea.
NO Roy Cooper. He is my governor and a piss poor one at that. Sorry
I'm not endorsing the man or anything. We're just brainstorming over a viable Democrat who might run. He's certainly a more electable option than Cory Booker or Kamala Harris.
Can't argue that but if you think the world thinks Biden is weak, Cooper would be one step above Jimmy Carter and we don't need another.
Indeed. He recently vetoed several very good bills and may well be overridden if it hasn’t happened already. The same for the democrat governors of Kentucky and Kansas.
Fair enough.
I'm just curious as to which Democrat is going to step up. Unless Trump gets the Republican nomination, I don't see any way Biden can win....and frankly I'm not sure he could beat Trump again the way things are going.
But you look for the next Bill Clinton or Barack Obama and I just don't see anybody.
Nor does anyone else. That’s why they say the Dems have such a weak bench. Newscum may be all they got.
"Rarely do you here them talk about "middle America" nor express a genuine understanding of what life is like outside of New York,..."

That's already been pointed out, repeatedly.
So you called out a mistake the author made and got called on one you made while pointing out his. Even then….But it’s not good form to make a mistake while calling another out on one.
Good thing that the Republican Party is so consistent.
Hey, look over there, it is something shiny.
You don’t see any irony in a Republican commenting on how much the Democratic Party has changed? Ronald Reagan would be run out of this country on a rail by today’s Republican Party for being an out of control progressive.
Ronald Reagan would be run out of this country on a rail by today’s Republican Party for being an out of control progressive.
And Bill Clinton as an out of control conservative.
Not to mention JFK…

Terrified Of Words

How are you not allowed to express your free speech?
I am not the one afraid of words. Not banning books, not making legislation against a non existent boogie man to scare the followers....
Sick and tired of ignorant far-right wing hate speech. Fuck all who engage in it.
[Deleted]
The one Vic had in his seed was spot on too regarding that party and the big tech it controls.
Well ours is not hate speech and are just as sick and tired of content control and left wing favoring censorship. Thus our great hope in Elon Musk
More alt right sites? More garbage.
So anyone who wants to can go read anything they want on Breitbart or The Stream, correct? So clearly their freedom of speech is not being denied by anyone.
Has anyone stopped you from expressing your opinion here that you got from Breitbart or The Stream? Clearly not.
We all hear you regularly crying about the 'wolf of censorship' yet when asked to prove it you just keep repeating yourself without ever proving a shred of evidence showing any violation of the 1st amendments protections of free speech. Your continue baseless accusations remind me of "The Holy Grail"...
"What makes you think she is a witch?"
"Well, She turned me into a newt!!"
"A newt?"...
"I got better"...
"BURN HER anyway! BURN! BURN! BURN HER!"
"I got better'
Hahaha
Who doesn't love Monty Python?
My point was well made and proved already. Thanks for sharing your opinion about awesome religious and news sites.
Not well made at all. Not proven.
What books have been banned?
Why do you pretend to not know that republicans are doing this right now?????????????????????????????????
Actually, it was well proven.
This is something I've been saying for years and is obvious to anyone with a smidgen of intelligence and an education in American political history. Clearly the old Conservative Democratic party of our parents is long dead, there is nothing in the current liberal progressive Democratic party that resembles the old party other than the word "Democratic". The same is true of the previously liberal Republican party.
In 1908, Republican presidential candidate William Howard Taft stated that "the Republican party has always been in favor of a liberal construction of the Constitution to maintain the national power" . Could you imagine any Republican today saying the same?
"The region was once referred to as the Solid South , due to its large consistent support for Democrats in all elective offices from 1877 to 1964. As a result, its Congressmen gained seniority across many terms, thus enabling them to control many Congressional committees . Following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 , Southern states became more reliably Republican in presidential politics, while Northeastern states became more reliably Democratic. Studies show that some Southern whites during the 1960s shifted to the Republican Party, in part due to racial conservatism. Majority support for the Democratic Party amongst Southern whites first fell away at the presidential level, and several decades later at the state and local levels. Both parties are competitive in a handful of Southern states, known as swing states ."
"After the Civil Rights act of 1964 and The Voting Rights Act of 1965 were passed in Congress, only a small element resisted, led by Democratic governors Lester Maddox of Georgia, and especially George Wallace of Alabama. These populist governors appealed to a less-educated, working-class electorate, that favored the Democratic Party, but also supported segregation. After the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case that outlawed segregation in schools in 1954, integration caused enormous controversy in the white South. For this reason, compliance was very slow and was the subject of violent resistance in some areas.
The Democratic Party no longer acted as the champion of segregation. Newly-enfranchised African American voters began supporting Democratic candidates at the 80-90-percent levels, producing Democratic leaders such as Julian Bond and John Lewis of Georgia, and Barbara Jordan of Texas.
Many white southerners switched to the Republican Party during the 1960s , some for reasons unrelated to race. The majority of white southerners shared conservative positions on taxes, moral values, and national security. The Democratic Party had increasingly liberal positions rejected by these voters . In addition, the younger generations, who were politically conservative but wealthier and less attached to the Democratic Party, replaced the older generations who remained loyal to the party . The shift to the Republican Party took place slowly and gradually over almost a century."
You forgot to use the quote feature so we could easily tell where your words end and the article cited begins.
My parents were / are democrats. I was going to be one too before Howard Jarvis and Ronald Reagan opened up another choice for me
Always with the "I know you are but what am I?" Deflection
The democrats have been hijacked by the far left woke faction of their party. Don't believe someone on the right, listen to liberals James Carville and Bill Maher who now seem like middle of the road democrats..
Neither party is what it was 50 years ago, that's what normally occurs over time. My biggest complaint about both of them is that the extremists have taken charge in both parties and stupid reigns.
Thankfully I am a centrist who disapproves of far-right wing fascism.
It is the left wing and big tech internet corporations that are the Fascists in America
"Leftist policies have become so extreme, even traditional liberals no longer recognize today’s Democratic party. With never ending mask mandates, mandatory vaccinations, and control of individual self-determination, liberalism has been abandoned."
This is just one example of how this is all just the usual nonsense
I'm not so sure it is the usual nonsense. I thought the majority of the Democratic party was more center left than far left. The far left policies that have been enacted, citing protections from Covid, have IMO gone beyond individual rights and followed more big government telling the individual how to live their lives.
It's the usual nonsense. Projection, deflection, and denial is all some posters have.
There are very few people that mask mandates , etc, actually inconvenienced much less harmed. The vast majority of objection to Covid protocols is MAGA based. Its sad for our country that so many people are so deluded.
It is also sad for our country are are deluded and follow to the letter what GovCo tells them to do. As if they are the be all and end all of their mere existence.
It's what common sense tells us to do
I didn't say people were harmed by the mandates (although some where as businesses were shut down, people put out of work, etc as well as hospitals putting all elective actions on hold to handle the covid surge and there were some who put off some important issues such as cancer screenings) but what I was talking about is the government over-reach and how it was cheered on by the extreme left. Placing government control over individual rights must be done carefully and not overdone or you risk moving out of a democracy and into fascism / totalitarianism.
We did nothing the rest of the world had done.
People act like we live in a bubble. Not everything is only about the people that live here.
It was never government overreach. Your usual nonsense.
Snuffy usually posts thoughtful comments. I may not agree with all he says but I think a genuinely decent person.
So true. The 'are are deluded' seem determined to fight health and safety measures while arming themselves against the baby eating child sex ring running lizard alien liberal Democrats.
Yes, it's far better to follow to the letter what TrumpCo. tells them to do, like attack the capital, whine, cry, claim victimhood and support the obvious lie that Trump really won the 2020 election. Talk about deluded, these dumb fucks are still foaming at the mouth claiming voter fraud nearly two years after the election without a shred of evidence, they just 'feel' it in their fat lazy diabetic wife beater wearing guts.
Sorry - to snuffy also. He's always claimed to not be against masking and vaxxing yet is against government overreach, which is not happening.
No biggie. I am sure he can handle himself. Some don't believe it but there are a couplie of people I like on the right.
I said GovCo and he was a part of it. If anyone followed his supposed direction when not so common common sense should have been the rule of the day, they were also sheep. Problem?
It was complete and total blue big government overreach.
A Federal Judge would disagree with you...........and did.
When it went from government recommended and suggested to mandates, coercion, it became overreach.
No, it wasn't.
And when I brought that headline here yesterday as breaking news the left here was stunned into total and complete silence.
Yes, it was. Thus the open rebellion against it all

Trump-Appointed Judge Deemed ‘Not Qualified’ by Bar Association Voids Mask Mandate on Planes, Other Travel
Althea Legaspi
Mizelle, 35, was only eight years out of law school at University of Florida when Trump appointed her to the lifetime position in 2020. The Daily Beast noted at the time that her only trial experience was as an intern, and that she held four clerkships, including one for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Mizelle was rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Association prior to her appointment, citing her lack of experience.
The transportation mandate case on which Mizelle ruled was filed on behalf of a group known as Health Freedom Defense Fund, as well as airline passengers. Mizelle said that the Centers for Disease Control had exceeded its legal authority, that it had failed to justify its decision and follow comment protocols, and that the mandate was “arbitrary and capricious,” according to The Washington Post . The CDC had announced earlier this month that it extended its mask mandate to May 3.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said it will no longer enforce the mask mandate in light of Mizelle’s decision, according to CNN .
The Biden administration was dismayed by the ruling. “This is obviously a disappointing decision,” Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at a press briefing on Monday. “The CDC continues recommending wearing a mask in public transit.”
You don't have the ability to stun us into total and complete silence with your offerings. Usually uncontrolled laughter, not stunned silence.
Still the only person in my little redneck town that masks when in public.
Fuck all anti-science assholes.
I do too. Every once in a while I will see someone else.
The ABA also said Judge Kathryn Mizelle's " integrity and demeanor were not in question and complimented her keen intellect, strong work ethic and impressive resume".

It's almost like stalking!
No, replying to your shrill diatribe is nothing like approaching stealthily.
I'm not against masking, but I'm against the theater of the mandate. Sorry but watching Biden walk around outside all by himself but he's wearing a mask. That's theater from the government. I am vaccinated, but it was my choice. A lot of government employees don't get that choice, it's forced on them. And this is for a vaccine that has not gone thru the normal review process, there wasn't time. We don't yet know what if any ramifications may come up in 20 years time. Combating the virus was important, but IMO once again there was theater from the government hence over-reach. The government refused to include any idea of protection from a prior infection, the ONLY protection they would talk about was for taking the vaccine.
The CDC recently held internal meetings as public trust in the CDC had fallen. One of the discoveries is that the CDC allowed themselves to become politicized in regards to handling Covid. The government has been very public about "follow the science" yet their over-reach continues to ignore the science. Nobody is clean in this but it seems to me that the Democrats have done more to expand the divide in this than the Republicans have done. The entire "it's a battle between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated" line.. that was over-reach. Other people can have other opinions. But I expect the normal come back will be examples of singular people who either benefited or did not benefit from the government mandate, or someone who will just focus on one single aspect to explain all of the government overreach that has occurred for the past years. Have your opinions, that's fine. But this rant is more big picture than any singular aspect.
Tell it to someone who is listening to you snuffy, that's not me.
Save it.
Yes, the ABA wants a minimum of twelve years experience before becoming a judge. I previously sent you the link to their finding.
Got it, have a nice day
Speaking of delusion...
So what? Send it to someone who gives a shit.
Send it to someone who gives a shit.
Apparently, that's all that you give.
Time to wipe the screen.
The MOST unqualified judge ever seated on the Federal bench.
Her ruling reads like it was written by a 10-year-old and that may be being unfair to 10 year olds.
Don't give a damn. She's a federal judge. What's your claim to fame?
You would if she was ruling on YOUR case.
Again, utterly unqualified. She never even tried a case in court before Trump gave her a lifetime appointment.
Being more intelligent and eloquent than a Federal judge. You?
You're officially on ignore
I personally have respect for those in certain positions [Deleted] More of the attorney type. Your MO is arguing things that really don't make a shit to most people. And then continuing to twist things so you can argue more.
What does 'make a shit' mean?
They couldn't care anymore about what one's opinion is than embracing shit. How old are you?
That sounds worse than double secret probation.
A trump appointee has such a low bar regarding qualifications
You don't need to worry about it as long as you 'don't give a shit'.
A trump appointee has such a low bar regarding qualifications
But unlike me, she passed the bar. Whenever I am near one, I almost always have to go in and have some wry.
The expression as I know it is 'don't give a shit'

Doesn't fit the rest of the context of the sentence.

You entirely missed the point of my post.

Geographic bigot, you left out the qualifying adjective.
Of course you do. Otherwise you wouldn’t be seeing or reacting to posts from those you put on ignore.
I ESPECIALLY don't give a shit what YOU think. The only articles you ever post are hateful toxic garbage against DEMOCRATS.
That don't necessarily need to be read if they are so upsetting to one's psyche.
Not possible. Just ignorant moronic opinions.
So it's not possible to not read them? That makes no sense.
You and the others do not have the ability to upset me.
The posting of ignorant moronic hateful alt-right wing opinion pieces does not have the power to upset me. Just shows that certain posters have nothing factual to offer EVER.
The opinion piece was on Fox News site and written by a former congress person. It was well reasoned and written well too
I’m not the one talking about ignoring anyone. I have nobody here on ignore. What we were talking about is finding a way to get another to ignore us. I don’t ignore any progressives and have only briefly ignored a couple of militant secularists for a couple hours.
It was not anything that you said.
I see the normal people here making unsubstantiated claims that this is false. Too bad that none of them have provided anything to the contrary.
There's no need to provide anything to the contrary - bullshit is bullshit. Just some opinions from some far right moron.
and that's exactly what I've seen from you all. Pure bullshit with nothing to substantiate it..
That’s all the bicoastal progressive urban elites have…
Science is science. It is a method of discovery. Just because you don't believe in science doesn't make seeking knowledge 'bullshit'.
Pretty sure that science has been documented and substantiated.
Far right-wing anti-science fascism hasn't.
On many issues there is no true consensus of science on it, despite those on one side arrogantly and fascist like calling themselves that and then censoring those who presume to dare to disagree or have a different view of the outcome.
