Scarlet Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Baffles me that the guy still holds sway over the party when he lost the Senate, the House, and the Presidency and will leave office with a lower career approval rating than even Carter. 4 Link to comment

Hmm weird how the top three there were considered the most progressive presidents in our history. Maybe we should try that again. Eisenhower was a republican but if he was president today they would call him a liberal socialist because he had extrememly high taxes on the top income earners, expanded social security and improved new deal programs. 2 Link to comment

And yet, even though Kennedy was pretty liberal socially, he was more conservative fiscally. Link to comment

He was also an advocate for universal healthcare and thats all I really care about. Im pretty much a one issue voter. Healthcare. I guess education reform also, but mainly healthcare. Link to comment

Making higher education more affordable so people arent in debt the rest of their lives. Pushing trades in high school more. Pushing community college for general classes. 1 Link to comment

Im reading this as you are mainly for higher education reform, along with the trade school push in HS. Any thoughts on K-12 education reform, beyond Trade school? 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Dopes. Don't change your party to match an evolving electorate, change the laws so it's harder for that electorate to gain fair representation. Your modern Republican party, folks. 2 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I'm so f#&%ing tired of hearing about this fake "cancel culture" crap. Hey, Kelly, you lost because the public wanted someone else. If that's cancel culture.....I guess you've been canceled. 4 Link to comment

Just kidding. Mostly it's around her insider trading scandal from last winter. I realize she was eventually cleared of wrongdoing, but it just rubbed me the wrong way (and reminded me how much congressional insider trading rules need updating). She's also welcomed the support of known white supremacists and QAnon conspiracy theorists, and she planned on rejecting the election results until all hell broke loose in the Capitol. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things, but that's my CliffsNotes version. 5 Link to comment
