Lol, nope

Well would you look at that. It’s not self identification:

Pew Research Center’s new political typology provides a road map to today’s fractured political landscape. It segments the public into nine distinct groups, based on an analysis of their attitudes and values.

It’s identity based on attitudes and values.

I repeat, the popularity of progressive policies has nothing to do with this conversation. Move along.

Wrong. Next.

Well then if they meant something different than what they said, they should have said something different in the first place. A majority of Democrats are moderates, full stop. The popularity of progressive policies is irrelevant.

That has nothing to do with my comment or the comment I responded to.

If the Republicans take the Senate and White House, they will ditch the filibuster the first day the next Senate leader takes the gavel. Count on it.

The Judiciary Act of 1869 should be amended today, and 4+ justices should be confirmed before January. It’s a hell of a lot easier to confirm them now than it will be for Republicans to remove them from the bench next year. Not easy, mind you, but easier.

The problem is party leadership are all moderates, and only a tiny slice of Dem voters are.

Fifty-two percent of Democratic voters are moderates. Only 12% are progressive. You don’t help your argument by making statistics up out of thin air.

I wish I could disagree with you but I just can’t anymore. I fear that we will look back on this as the breaking point.

You’re right. He consulted on campaigns for some pretty vile sons-of-bitches, but at least he’s a member of the Lincoln project who endorsed Biden in 2020 and voted a straight-D ticket, so in that way he’s one of the few who’s putting his money where his mouth is.

Mueller: “I can’t do it. Congress should handle it.”

Congress: “We can’t do it. The Court should handle it.”

Supreme Court: “Nah.”
