Finally, an American politician goes there and says it.
"We don't have a left party in the United States. The Democratic Party is not a left party," the congresswoman said. "The Democratic Party is a center, or a center-conservative, party."Good for her.

If the Left is unpopular it's for good reason - especially since the Center and Right also ignore, to a large extent, the Bible's (hence God's) prescriptions for economic justice.
ReplyDeleteLook, the Left has been tried and REJECTED. Shouldn't we try something more Biblical at least wrt economics?
Or shall we endlessly oscillate between socialism and fascism? That too will glorify God but at our own needless expense and with no pleasure to Him either.

Takes time to build an effective coalition....
Justice Democrats will fail to change anything.
ReplyDeleteIf that hasn't sunk in yet, there's no hope for you.
Well I certainly am not on their side but if they are going to be successful it’s going to take a long time of grinding it out... AOC is still a first term rep...
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when Nancy Pelosi was a first term representative. Worked out well for her...
ReplyDeletePelosi is doing ok for her side... got the whole nation shut down and in chaos going into the election...
ReplyDeleteIf you are a Democrat you have to be pretty happy with Pelosi...
ReplyDeletePelosi's donors are very happy with her.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats are appalled by the Orange Man, so they are happy to vote for Sleepy Joe.
