That comment was clearly in reaction to the pushback that he/she is receiving here. The implication in the sentence is that those who disagree with them are neoliberals.
But the good news is that this qualifies her for a nomination of Secretary of Not Stealing Things.
I saw this yesterday too and posted elsewhere. It's a woman, who believes a QAnon conspiracy theory that Trump is battling a global cable of elite, liberal pedophiles. She also believes that Minneapolis is the "crime capital of the country" and is/was intending to run on a law and order platform. As I stated elsewhere, I don't even know how she could get $2327 worth of merchandise in one cart at Target. Apparently it was 279 items, of which she paid for $50 worth. She claims PTSD, btw, yet she also was arrested for theft at Cub Foods, as well.
That's a plan. 1.5 years of Trump + likely 8 years of Establishment Democratic rule + at least 4 years of reactionary Conservative rule that will likely make Trumpism look like a beach vacation. All the while, any real left progress will drive 80 mph into a brick wall. Welcome to 2032.
I'll save everyone the trouble. Have a great day!
Well, sure. We can go with your plan of going all-in with every idealistic goal now when America isn't ready for it, lose the election, then deal with four more years of the Orange Shitgibbon, eight years of Trump Jr., eight years of Ivanka, and eight years of Barron.That's a plan. 1.5 years of Trump + likely 8 years of Establishment Democratic rule + at least 4 years of reactionary Conservative rule that will likely make Trumpism look like a beach vacation.

Do you really want to wait until then to talk about climate change, Med4all, private prisons, refugee concentration camps, income inequality?
Since 1992, we love to believe administrations have been like ping pong. In reality, they have mostly been fluid. One administration dismantles protections and the next one uses their new powers like a wrecking ball. They never tear down their power. The next establishment Democrats will not tear down concentration camps, dismantle media monopolies, or deliver health care solutions. "It's nothing that a good coat of paint can't fix" will be their solutions while their goals will be ramping up hot and cold war and delivering the TPP in a brand new box and looking damn good on the cover of Rolling Stone while they do it.
We are out of time. Do you really want that "reactionary Conservative rule" deciding your fate if the oceans decide to Take America Back before you're ready?
I know I'm an imbecile.
The attention was being diverted to other subjects, away from you and THAT had to be remedied, eh?
My obvious choice is still Warren and always has been, as of yet. I believe her to have both the smarts and the heart to bring about the underlying changes required to restore us to a more democratic nation (and by that I mean directly targeting those who have stolen its premise, its prosperity and its hope.)
That's pretty optimistic. I personally think its about fifteen years more of Trump, then another thirty or so of Ivanka, then whoever she names her heir.
If your odds are shit in either scenario why not go with the one that gives the higher potential reward?
Same here, being also from 'Bernie Country' his politics make sense to me. I always explain that NH probably has more political points of view than people eligible to vote .... in other words, we often take political questions VERY seriously and are not apt to act like lemmings if someone says how we should vote.
What a sheltered life you must lead if you get the vapors from a politician attacking another one after the same seat!
By 2032 the election will have nothing at all to do with humans, except the ones that control the AI. Probably 2028. You already know what the plutocrats want because they already control the media. Your future is both neoliberalism (unchecked capitalism) and neoconservatism (American exceptionalism, interventionist foreign policy). Pretty much what we already have from both parties, both serving the plutocrats and keeping the plebs so busy and so poor they can't do anything about it, but the propaganda will get more and more optimized and opposition will get more and more suppressed. You'll cheer it on because the charismatic talking heads will tell you to.
An even more cynical take: 2020 is a test. Can they make a president out of anyone they choose? Is the propaganda good enough? The answer is already apparent: no, it is not yet good enough. Harris and Buttigieg didn't take. Biden is recognition that it can't be just anyone, but they know that's not going to work, either. Warren isn't even a chosen one, but my bet is they'll eventually back her as the best outcome they can hope for. This time.
I guess there is also going to be another, important reason why the landscape will change: because the people who used to vote always Democrats or GOP are dying, slowly but steadily. Instead the generation which is being called the millenials in America is going to overtake most of the votes, and those tend to vote more strategically than loyally.
