Yeah I’m not seeing it either.

I can probably get on board with that to some degree. I still think the thread of progressives is a bit overstated, but maybe I'm just numb to how crazy the left has become because the right represents a threat to our democracy. 

That's sort of where I've felt you've been for a while now from time to time.

To me the right is a lost cause.  Mitch threw the towel in instead of letting it all hang out in a late round punching flurry.  We now need to hold thru the center and keep the left flank in check in order to be able to hold off the idiots from the right.  Biden is holding for now.  Let's see what happens next year and hope it doesn't get all that exciting.

A blue dog Democrat just destroyed the Biden agenda and people in here are hemming and hawing about the far left  

@Dave Moss Getting a smiley from you is the same as getting a like from other posters.

 

Here are a few for you

6 people out of 535 members of Congress.   Talk about a faux bogeyman

Is it? 

This craziness is still happening so it's not a small niche. 

 

A teammate of Lia Thomas on the University of Pennsylvania women’s swim team has spoken out as the transgender swimmer has shattered school records.

Before her transition, Thomas competed at Penn for three years as a male.

She recently set school records in the 200-meter freestyle and 500-meter freestyle in November. This past weekend, the record-breaking stretch continued, as Thomas set a school record in the 1650-meter freestyle. Her teammate Anna Kalandadze finished in second place — over 38 seconds behind Tho mas.

Yeah Im not crushed this didn't get passed. Especially the Medicare part. I can't even begin to imagine how much Medicare expansion would cost after what happened with Medicare part D.

So what do you suggest be done?

I say this periodically but now seems as good a time as any to repeat it.  Stop arguing with disingenuous liars.  They don't believe the BS they are spouting and by replying and arguing with them, you give them a validation they don't deserve.  Set them to ignore and let them talk to themselves until they go away.  There is absolutely nothing to be gained by interacting with them.

Thus why i ignore the politicians

Ban men from competing maybe?

Spoken like someone who has paid absolutely no attention to him until now.  He's a successful old school Democrat.  To the many who claim to be left out of the party by the hard left, he is exactly what they're looking for.

no doubt you would've cared deeply if thomas was banned from the competition.

And that has nothing to do with the fact that he has like zero charisma.

Yeah, I'm more moderate than you or Dave, I wouldn't have a problem voting for Manchin.  That said, he'd stand no chance in either a primary or (even more so) in a general thanks to his personality.

Yeah, Manchin has zero appeal.  
 

He’s going to attract more votes by taking down the Biden agenda?

Which has nothing to do with his presidential aspirations. Just because he’s going to run, and this is part of his strategy, doesn’t mean he’s going to even win the nomination. Of course, your ignorance of his appeal and ability doesn’t mean he’s going to lose, either.

  Like you'd vote for him, Zucker.

Yeah the argument seems to be that he is palatable for people who definitely wouldn’t vote for him.

There’s a lot of people who will be repulsed by the neo-Marxist that the Democrat base would favor, who will be repulsed by the possibility of another Trump term too. Hell, it wasn’t really that long ago that the Democrats nominated Al Gore then John Kerry for cripes sake.

Him him or is it he him? I can’t keep track. 

This will help
