Squad Member Summer Lee Says Pelosi Wrong That Harris Should Govern From Center: ‘Progressive Ideals’ Are ‘What Average American Wants’
Squad Member Summer Lee Says Pelosi Wrong That Harris Should Govern From Center: ‘Progressive Ideals’ Are ‘What Average American Wants’
Rep. Lee said on Face the Nation that Harris should govern from the left because that's what Americans actually want, based on "anecdotal evidence."
You're viewing a single thread.
Yes neoliberals, let's continue to govern from the center. Because that's worked so well the last forty years as the right has moved the Overton window to the point where we no longer have a left wing party.
I think it's worth mentioning again that all this hope and excitement comes with the first candidates that aren't Boomers.
Let’s win elections by just all becoming republicans and letting the billionaires win! That’s what compromise looks like to these people.
Obama was a boomer?
Generations aren't written in stone, but the Boomers are generally defined as 1946-1964 and Obama was 1961. So younger Boomer.
Now “boomer” just means old person. Gen Z are happy to refer to older millenials and younger Gen X as boomers, because why bother educating yourself.
because language evolves, and now the word "boomer" is more useful as a word to describe old people with a specific mindset rather than as a word for people born in a specific lapse of time
I think the “specific mindset” is also one that is out of touch with every younger generation.
yea, that mindset of being out of touch and thinking your generation was the last good one, that kinda mindset
(at least that’s how i see it)
They're all shit lol. But the actual boomer generation were definitely some of the worst of the worst. Benefiting in ways most can't even comprehend from the generations that came before them. Eagerly gobbling it all up. Acting like they earned it . But then leaving none for those that came after and just generally souring things on every possible measure. I'm doing the things their parents grandparents Etc fought for.
There are always exceptions. Possibly as I'm even an exception to my own generation. But there are definitely some rules that can be broadly applied.
Boomer generation; 1946 - 1964...
...Obama, born 1961.
So yes, technically he was a Boomer.
Harris 1964. So she's also a boomer.
But Biden is not a boomer. Born 1942, he's part of the silent generation. He's the first non-boomer since Bush senior.
Also, three of the last five presidents were born in 1946 - Bush, Clinton, and Trump. Annus horribilis.
Damn. I thought he was like 20 years younger.
He was! 20 years ago.
I truly see neoliberals as on the right these days.
They want us to be slaves.
The Dems have had control of all 3 House of Reps, Senate, and Presidency for 6 years out of the last 44 years. And you wonder why they're forced to compromise?
Every time they lose (like they've lost for 38 years out of the 44 years), they are forced to compromise and they go to the center to find voters. You want them to not go to the center? Then they need to win first.
I'm happy to see your Ctrl, C, and P buttons are in fine working condition. Do you have a valid argument though?
You mean V, you can't even get your attacks right.
Argument is valid and was given. And since you were oh so polite, do you have a valid counter, or do you only have attacks?
I may or may not reply since you already showed who you are. More attacks = no reply.
