I wish somebody will remove me

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

So, there has been a big shift away from bi-partisanship

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

Go to a different room

@Platinum Spark Well when he becomes irrelevant what's gonna happen to this room?

Is it gonna change to is Trump still relevant?
