"The inconvenient truth that our lazy media elites do so much to ignore is that Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, and Warren are much closer in their views to the vast majority of ordinary Americans than the Bloombergs or the Bidens. They are the true centrists, the real moderates; they represent the actual political middle."

(29,478 posts)1. I can't support Bloomberg
Stop and frisk Bloomberg vs stop and frisk Trump I'm just happy he probably won't win the nomination but he has a good chance of pulling an Independent run if he loses the nomination.

It's more holistic thinking, being able to see the big picture intuitively and inspiring change.

With the gop hijack of the Judicial Branch we will need to push left as much as reasonable and possible. The RW judges will set us back. If we move back to the center as defined by the right, we will never escape the forces seizing our democracy. Trump is just the surface of the infection.
