The matter of my relative punchability remains curiously unresolved.
Let me try again...if the centrists from both parties come to agreement the lack of enthusiasm from the extremists doesn't matter.
The matter of my relative punchability remains curiously unresolved.
I'm not talking about the 'extremists' on the Democratic side; I'm talking about a substantial part (possibly a straight majority) of their electoral coalition. If appealing the center was a foolproof strategy Hillary would have won the election by a landslide instead of losing because her foredoomed attempt to win over the white moderates in the suburbs turned off the core parts of the Democratic coalition.

DINOs voted for Clinton, and democrat extremists stayed home and pouted...you know that as well as I do, and complained about it at the time.
I mean, I complained that lots of leftists wouldn't vote for Clinton. But I don't think it's accurate to call them "democratic extremists" because they were never going to vote for a Democrat anyway. I always maintained that people who supported Bernie in the primary mostly turned up for Hillary in the general, and that the people who voted for Bernie then didn't vote for Hillary were never voting for a Democrat (unless the Democrat turned out to be Bernie which we all knew wouldn't happen).
Just like there are "purists" in the deplorable crowd that won't turn out to vote for what they call a RINO.
Well this gets into hazy definition issues but my contention is that calling the Bernie folks who wouldn't vote for Hillary "Democrats" in any sense is misleading because those were people who were not engaged in Democratic Party politics and rarely if ever voted for Democrats other than the 2016 primary to vote for Bernie.

the rich capitalist that traditionally funded the Republicans agenda and lobbied them on behalf of the multinationals that was referred to in the post I was responding to the very same rich capitalists that were known as ''Never Trumpers''the party whose orthodoxy held that there is literally no higher social good than producing profits for shareholders

This article's got a loooong list of potential contenders.
I'm curious what folks from the LA area think about Garcetti.

Well, one answer to this is . . . uh . . . patriarchy, duh.And why do you think this is?
my admittedly idiosyncratic view that the challenger's policies will scarcely matter.
I used to live in a town with 25 people. Anyone who lives somewhere that small does it because they want to, not because of employment opportunities. Usually for family reasons. Or they're banging someone, as in my case.89% of Australians live in the urban centres we are not very rural by nature
a true rural environment is found between the state capitals where you can drive for hours and find nothing but farmland
I live in Melbourne Australia pop about 3 million the state capital of Victoria
regional urban centre Ballarat pop 100,000
daughters farm near addington pop 71
Great for you.I used to live in a town with 25 people. Anyone who lives somewhere that small does it because they want to, not because of employment opportunities. Usually for family reasons. Or they're banging someone, as in my case.
