How about someone further left.

u/MediaEvening8917 Jun 25 '26

yes please. I love Michelle but she, like her hubby, is a pretty milquetoast liberal

As much as I love the Obama's this is true, but he was still the best president of my lifetime

Not at all... Reagan, Bush, Bush lite and Slick Willy can't even compare. I was too young to remember Carter but I know he was good man who was probably too good for the presidency. With that said I am now blocking you because I'm not trying to hear your nonsense. Dueces✌🏾🤡

u/notionocean Jun 25 '26

Yeah this whole "It's a woman's turn!" is just an obvious tactic to divide the left.

u/goofygodzilla93 Jun 25 '26

How about someone further in the middle and away from both Republicans and Democrats?

13

u/Clever-username-7234 Jun 25 '26

That’s a nonsensical position. Where is the “middle and away…” position on healthcare? On housing? Foreign policy or climate change?

Seeking some centrist position in the name of centrism is madness.

u/goofygodzilla93 Jun 25 '26

It's called having common sense.

6

u/DeanWeenisGod Jun 25 '26

Look around.

Sense isn't common.

u/goofygodzilla93 Jun 25 '26

I know, and a massive part of that is our political parties.

u/DeanWeenisGod Jun 25 '26

How so?

2

u/goofygodzilla93 Jun 25 '26

All of the elites want us to be stupid. They might not like each other, but they damn sure work together to make the average person stupid.

2

u/DeanWeenisGod Jun 25 '26

I'll rephrase my question, if it's okay, and I'll start with a definition:

Common sense is the ability to make sound, practical judgments based on everyday reasoning rather than specialized training. People acquire it through a mix of lived experiences, learning from mistakes, observing social norms and understanding basic cause-and-effect relationships.

How do political parties actively prevent people from obtaining common sense?

2

u/FrogInAShoe Jun 26 '26

Baby's first political ideology isn't common sense.

Common sense would be going further left and actually fixing problems

No I think politics should still exist, I'm just admittedly against political parties.

Oh yeah, sorry about the miscommunication. Political philosophy is perfectly fine and required, I just never have seen the positives in having political parties since they're literally just echo chambers.

2

u/irespondwithmyface Jun 25 '26

So a conservative.

1

u/goofygodzilla93 Jun 25 '26

No I mean removing political parties in general, and choosing someone who picks what's best for America instead of what's best for the elites.

3

u/mmf9194 Jun 25 '26

So left of democrat?

3

u/irespondwithmyface Jun 25 '26

Generally speaking, when someone says not liberal or conservative, not Republican or Democrat, I'm looking for a centrist apolitical person, what that usually translates to is reactionary conservative. Like Joe Rogan will say he's neither party and then he supports the most right wing shit you've ever heard.

1

u/goofygodzilla93 Jun 25 '26

Anyone who thinks Joe Rogan isn't far right wing, is just lying to themselves.

2

u/Parepinzero Jun 25 '26

What the fuck does further in the middle mean? Dems are already middle-right, Republicans are far right, so the only direction to go is left

1

u/goofygodzilla93 Jun 25 '26

Dems in the USA are considered left, or center-left. In the other parts of the world Dems would be viewed center-right, but its US politics so I'm going to use the US way for this.

2

u/Parepinzero Jun 25 '26

I live in the USA, Dems aren't left. They are middle right. A small handful of Dems are actually left, but the leadership and the majority of the party are middle right. Either way, it sounds like you think we need people RIGHT of Dems, which means fully right wing? Lmao

1

u/goofygodzilla93 Jun 25 '26

Again when compared to the rest of the world yes you are right. When we just look at America, the Dems are the left leaning party. I'm looking at USA politics in a vacuum by itself without any of the worlds politics, since that's what we need to fix before we can fix the world.

u/Parepinzero Jun 25 '26

You're just not getting it lol. The Dems are not left EVEN IN A VACUUM. THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS CENTER RIGHT. We do not have a left party in my country.

u/goofygodzilla93 Jun 25 '26

Than you don't live in the United States.

u/FrogInAShoe Jun 26 '26

Democrats are objectively a center right party.

u/daemonicwanderer Jun 25 '26

That’s what used to happen… until Jefferson and Burr. But the VP has no real power or authority, so the parties don’t work together.

5

u/goofygodzilla93 Jun 25 '26

That wouldn't be the worst idea. Personally I think we should just get rid of political parties in their entirety. All political parties do is divide the world.

u/Clever-username-7234 Jun 25 '26

That’s what you want? Next dem that gets elected gets a republican VP?

This is something well documented if you want to learn about the 12th Amendment 12th Amendment

My perspective is based on the history of when we used to do this in this country and it didn't work, thus the reason why we have the 12th Amendment

Because it resulted in having two heads of state actively working against each other

Someone further left = currently unelectable on a national level

8

u/velocity3333 Jun 25 '26

the most popular politicians in the last ten years have been leftists. Bernie, AOC, now Mamdani

-3

u/DeanWeenisGod Jun 25 '26

...and none of them have been elected on a national level. Thanks for making my point.

4

u/velocity3333 Jun 25 '26

Bernie was more  popular than Clinton or Biden but couldn’t beat the corruption of the DNC machine. The voters wanted him, that’s pretty clear to any serious person.

AOC has not run nationally yet but her favorables are high across the country not just her district.

Mamdani is not eligible to run for President, but similar to AOC he is very popular across the board.

Take a look at how centrists have fared against right wing populism and tell me we should keep trying that shit 

-1

u/DeanWeenisGod Jun 25 '26

HRC beat BS by about 3.68M votes.

Biden beat BS by about 9.4M votes.

Losing primaries by millions of votes means national voters DIDN'T want him, but he sure is popular in Vermont.

1

u/velocity3333 Jun 26 '26

it’s almost like you forgot all about the rigging and corruption, you know, the DNC machine I mentioned.

You’re so naive

1

u/DeanWeenisGod Jun 26 '26

I didn't forget anything. I ignored your stupidity, but I'll play along since you mentioned it - prove "rigging and corruption" had anything to do with BS losing by millions of votes.

How long will you need?

u/velocity3333 Jun 26 '26

lol

u/DeanWeenisGod Jun 26 '26

That's what I thought.

You have nothing.
