At which point you use the bully pulpit and your grass roots support to shift the party further left and get rid of the dead weight in the party that doesn’t support it.
    Nuking the filibuster has worked out great so far huh?

    Then after getting rid of the "dead weight" what happens? Lose those seats to republicans instead of moderate democrats?

      No one loses their seat for eliminating the filibuster.

      If Warren and Klobuchar are going to end up getting the same amount done why would I want Klobuchar? Why wouldn't I want the President that dreams big and sets an agenda where the compromise is where Klobuchar is at instead of where the Republicans are at?

      You ever stop to think about why the Republicans always start negotiating at the extreme? That's what Democrats need to do. That's why all these mealy mouthed ******* that debated last night need to just go away.

      Dream big.

        Here is the question I have. How far away are the political parties from running their debates involving a dozen candidates or more like ESPN's Around the Horn? Just hook up 30 or 40 focus group members with handheld electronic sets and they can award "points" every time a candidate says something they like, or take points away every time they get mad at a candidate. Boot the low scorers, plus no one here has to argue over who got their azz kicked.
        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

          Right. Klobuchar is a good candidate when things are sane and better...she is NOT a wartime consigliere.

              Meh. That takes all the fun out of triggering people like you.

                Klobuchar was boring and awful last night. Even worse than the first debate. She belongs in the Senate (where I'm sure she's very good).

                  Joe is much better than his performance last time. He's just Biden his time.

                  I'll be here all week.

                    So Harris already burned her busing zinger, and Biden's actually been pretty quiet in the last month. I wonder how this goes...

                        Some ******** in the audience just yelled during De Blasio's opener. Not sure what he was saying.
