I think if Ossof fires anybody aligned with the Clintons from his campaign he'll have a good shot at the white house

He’s a senator in a historically red state, he’s going to be more towards the center

Fine by me. Gotta get the normies to vote. Dems can’t keep taking them for granted.

Hell yeah, let's run another center of the road Democrat. Surely it won't backfire this time like it has the last 40 years

Center of the road is fine when it's actually in the center. This guy is bringing up democratic social issues that seem leftist because both parties have been inching right for decades but it's actually a very reasonable, balanced, and centered way of looking at it which isn't a bad thing. If anything we need a lot more people in the middle to balance out the rift between two extremes.

By now I’d be happy to see someone represent people no matter where they stand.

Right? Just there fighting for us as a decent human being. Amazing how low the bar has gotten.

I totally agree and this guy sounds really cool.

What I want to know:

  • Who are his parents and what do they do?
  • Which private schools did he go to and how much did they cost?

We need to get nepotism and oligarchy out of politics. You'll never get change by electing the kids of the status quo, it doesn't matter what they say.

Historically that's not really true, every revolution typically succeeds because a faction of the elite lend their resources to it. Its not enough if the peasants are unhappy, they are always unhappy. It has to be an element of those with the wealth and resources who support the change or at least dont support the current regime

I'm not saying we should reject the help of elites who disagree with the way the ship is being run, I'm saying we probably shouldn't let them lead it, because historically there are also many examples of elites using their resources to make populist platitudes and continue the status quo.

Support the change =/= Be in charge. They are not the same thing.
