Reply #44: wait what? I agree it can't pass, but why should he push something conservative? [View All]

I mean seriously, they're not going to like him. We used to, we can come back, all he needs to do is put a progressive plan on the table. Hell the majority of Americans already wants taxes on the top hiked up, who's to say that they don't also want a direct jobs program? I'll agree that the media says it doesn't believe direct spending creates jobs, but they're a bunch of owned lying morons. Not quite the same thing as my neighbors and the rest of average America.

I think the thing that frustrates me the most is that he doesn't even try. All the division on this board would be gone like a flash in the pan if he actually tried to push progressive stuff through and it either bombed out or got mangled. But he doesn't, so we're forced to wonder if he's even on our side.
