Centrist Democrats Want A Presidential Candidate To Take On Bernie. They Just Don’t Know Who It Is.

I am nurse and I am thinking of moving to Maryland. IDK about Maryland, but most of the nursing homes in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania are overworked and underpaid. You would not believe the quality of care being provided.

Nurses are paid better here but depends where in MD

DC suburbs have higher cost of living

I think of Booker, Duckworth, and Booker as Centrists.
The US' shift toward the right is the only reason they're being seen as "Progressive."
The Democratic Socialists of America need to continue to put pressure on the Dems this election cycle, and really push a lot of their ideas and potential legislation into the mainstream consciousness.

i'm very critical of DemSoc's () but i think they're playing it right by not "only" focusing on electoral politics but applying pressure to those outside their ranks by reaching out and assisting those on a grass root level as well. i noticed they seem to link up from time to time with local anarchists and other local activists groups.

This is a stretch, the majority of the country can read.
There are plenty of colleges that provide a positive ROI, the biggest issues are: extreme cost, unprepared student body, proliferation of lower-class/middle-class students not majoring in, or working toward, career fields that are sustainable. Added to the US government and large-scale corporations working in conjunction to depress wages, and you've got a much bigger issue.
Closing for-profit universities that take up a large amount of federal funding, closing law schools and business schools that are more akin to scams than legitimate education institutions, implementing subject-by-subject testing instead of weak standardized tests at the end of the year, and funding pre-school programmes like Head Start as well as summer-enrichment and year-round programmes would greatly decrease the under-education of a segment of the population.

State and federal governments are too stupid to implement complete, commonsense reform, but the solutions are rather simple.

This is not a stretch. The majority of high school graduates cannot read at a literacy rate equivalent to their grades. Speaking on reading proficiency as a whole the statistic is much more dire and since this is black site only 42% of black men are proficient at reading.

Why do these statistics matter?

Because reading proficiency matters in college if you're going to be successful.


As far as ROI on colleges, as I said, there are plenty that do not and despite disagreeing with it initially you went into a diatribe about closing scam colleges.

 

[Pressure]

Its not hard. The Dems honestly don't seem like they want to win though.
The playbook has existed for well over a decade, but they haven't even picked it up and turned a page.
Bernie Sanders was the closest they got, and they did everything they could to undermine him and then repeatedly drop the ball on the Clinton campaign.


Who in the current US government is far-Left?
Do you need an explanation of the political spectrum?

Bernie Sanders is extremely popular among the lowest voting demographic. If you want something different from your politicians then it's on the electorate to vote those politicians in.

Adam Schiffe should run

Bernie Sanders is extremely popular among the lowest voting demographic.

So his leadership will increase the likelihood that they vote, causing Dems to win and not Reps?

Bernie Bros over Hillary Hoes again.

That's not what happened in the primary.

Maybe next time.

Definitely next time. It's no ones turn next time and hopefully the DNC doesn't ask an individual's campaign to:

• Bail them out financially
• Have all strategies pre-approved by individual's campaign
• Have DNC leadership feeding individual's campaign debate questions before hand.

What about Chris Murphy?

 

[AnonymityX1000]

What about Chris Murphy?

Yeah, I like him but I haven't been heard anyone floating his name as a potential candidate.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Yeah, I like him but I haven't been heard anyone floating his name as a potential candidate.

I read a Washington Post article from earlier this month that had him in the top 15 of potential candidates. He's often on the newscasts and is young. He's from my state and actually used to work where I currently work. I'm not sure exactly where his policies would lie but he has some promise. He seems to be liked by both the Clintonistas and the Bernie sector

I seen him on TV talking about gun controller a lot probably because of Sandy Hook. And he has paid lip service to how most of his constituents don't care about Russiagate. I like both of those talking points.

Yeah

I think he has generally been very careful in his positioning and is eyeing the presidency.
