I'm not aware of any "ultra liberal leftists" Democratic presidents have nominated to the Supreme Court. Kagan? Sotomayor? Ginsburg? If you don't think they are leftists, it is only because of where you stand. It's "Democratic," by the way, not "Democrat." The way you use that word is just an ignorant Republican party-ism. Oh, wait. "Democratic" infers that they do things in a democratic way. If you were watching how they ****ed Bernie, the process was far from "democratic" but it was certainly the "democrat" way of doing things. Machine politics over all else. ...... And believe me, there were many of us that watched it very closely and will never trust the DNC again. Bernie wasn't and isn't a Democrat. What's funny, of course, is that you fellas trust Trump and the Republicans. Bernie was a democrat in the sense that you call all Libertarians republicans and he was running for the democrat nomination at a very undemocratic convention. When you have enough "machine" super delegates to advance a nominee in spite of the vote, it is not democratic, no matter what it says on the signs over the door. Bernie is a socialist. He considers himself an independent. He caucuses with the Dems. He doesn't run as a Dem. The only Libertarians I recall who ran for and won federal office ran as Republicans. He ran as a democrat in 2016 and that is what we are talking about. You are just trying to divert from how undemocratic the process was that scuttled him. It probably scuttled the best chance the DNC had to win the white house too. People who hated Hillary were not ever going to change their mind. Bernie may have flipped a couple of red states. He was running against Washington "business as usual" too. I never thought Bernie could win a general election. Never. Still don't. He said he was a Dem for purpose of the primaries, but he "reverted" back to what he really was afterwards. See now you can't say that about my guy Gary. He is seeking a seat in the senate as we speak as a Libertarian. https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/407916-a-senator-gary-johnson-could-be-good-not-just-for-libertarians-but-for-the Last I heard, he was running fourth in a three person race. What's he really doing, splitting off the GOP vote? Is he still in favor of from cutting social security, killing the minimum wage increases, and privatizing public education? And how about New Mexico's dependency on federal spending? Still against that? Actually polling in the 20-25 percentile with 30% undecided but he did get elected as governor twice there so someone likes him. He must have the democrats scared because they are coming after him from as far away as New York and Massachusetts. The GOP candidate is down around 10-11% and they might decide to throw their votes to Gary. I have my doubts he will win but he is going to give Heinrich a run for his money, particularly for an incumbent senator in a blue state. I bet before this is over there will be an unprecedented amount of out of state money flowing into a New Mexico race of any kind. I know money is pouring into Florida trying to save Nelson's seat. It's a shame it is all wasted on TV ads and not trying to fix the ****ing lake. If anyone could market that, they would win in a landslide. Right now the $50,000,000 worth of ads seem to be "who screwed up the lake, Washington or Tallahassee". Nelson and democrats in general all the way back to FDR lose that fight. |
