Centrist IS the way to go. The tribal crap lead to us losing in global citizen competition and eat away the values of democracy.
Yes to Impeachment
Im back what did morde find
Impeachment is a no brainer
“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence...the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.”
“AS I SAID ON THE PHONE, I THINK IT’S CRAZY TO WITTHOLD SECURITY ASSISTANCE FOR HELP WITH A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.”
@pennypal What type of Centrist? Moderate or Radical Centrist?
*Third way*
Lol
@3v6en8 Honestly, I believe if there is a policy that works, put it in, shouldn't matter about which party came up with it or if it's "left" or "right"
bipartisan is the way to go, the spectrum graduals gets more arguments across and people start seeing more eye to eye
That way both parties are somewhat happy but atleast push some of the things they want
Politicians are careerists that only think about themselves and not the people
@3v6en8 Though I do like Yang's phase ("not left, not right, forward")
I do too, but I find it hard for him to have a chance in the primary election; warren, biden and still bernie are on the leads
Even if he gets elected, he is definitely not going to get his policies approved; rep will think its socialist and cost too much; dems find it libertarian and see other welfares to be better solution
And as ironic as this sounds, it’s largely because of republican politicians
The big reasons are the hastert rule and the gerrymandering after 2010
Ooo is this like some news and republican ?
Through this shift really started in 1994
I hope i get real news and not fake ones
But the hastert rule, introduced by the Republican speaker Hastert
Is a legislative principle that you do not bring anything to the floor unless you can pass it with only your own party
So it basically was this declaration that control of the house is a winner take all contest
And that no bills would be debated to be compromised on
The other thing is gerrymandering. Both parties do this, it’s absolutely true
But particularly the way democrats naturally cluster, republicans have been much more egregious in this
So since 2010, republican politicians have been more worried about primary challenges from the right than from a general election challenge from the left, and as a result the party has gotten increasingly radical
This has happened on the left too, particularly since trump was elected
AOC and Ayanna Presley were both challengers from the left in deep blue districts
So there’s really no hope for the parties to suddenly start working together without a major re-alignment
Guys guys this whole arguement about Trump is getting kinda tiring
Sure he's an asshole
@Boo The name of this room is trump
But he's but a puppet of the system
If you don’t want to hear a debate about trump
