LinYutang posted:Jones is pro choice in loving Alabama, lol at the idea he's Centrist there anti Medicare for all. so yes, he's a centrist. and in this case, that's ok (I don't like him, I like the kick to the nuts he represents to Trump/Bannon &Co).

MysteriousStranger posted:Socially liberal, fiscally conservative, pro trade, hawkish foreign policy (real politik) is centrism. He's a centrist, aka a Democrat. That this is considered liberal for Alabama is an indication of how hosed up Alabama is. you had me nodding right up to the end there. cmon over to the Zucc zone, we've been discussing this for 3 pages. you're forgetting what happened in November. we all have the dream of doing a socialism on the federal level but there's a shitload to do in local and state govt first.

AstheWorldWorlds posted:strong likelihood socialism isn't even possible at the federal level with the current way the government is organized tbh honestly, local and state has way more of an impact on our daily lives so I'm fine with focusing on those for now.

I very much enjoy the fact that the dems turned out the base (minorities and young people) and won in a seemingly unwinnable states and centrists are now gloating instead of realizing the Abuela/Ossof strategy of trying to appeal to Republican Lites was a really loving dumb thing to do.

Hey, dipshit, it's both. They're lucky it's both. Black voters weren't there to save the dems, they were there to save themselves. Barkley was on CNN talking about how Dems need to stop taking the black vote for granted and he's right. Jones needs to actually do something for them to have any shot again in 2020.

Kazak_Hstan posted:A profoundly toxic pedophile losing by 1.5% does not change the fundamentals of Alabama politics, it reinforces them. The only way Jones wins in 2020 is if Roy Moore gets the nomination again. He can absolutely win again if he does right by young people and the black community.

Gringostar posted:also it makes flipping the senate in 2018 an actual possibility instead of a lost cause until 2020 which is important for the judiciary Dems have to play a lot of defense in 2018. I really hope they have the stomach for it.

Years of Democrats going to the negotiating table starting at a compromise making Bernard-O look like a commie. Radical Centrism FTW!
