Spork3245 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Buttigieg is currently my favorite of all the Dems running for sure. All of his interviews have impressed me a LOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To top it off, he predicted that particular scenario years before it occurred. If only we all could be so "stupid". the numbers are on your side...

The hostility on the left comes from a frustration that many Democratic policies are outright attempts to appease the Right (and failing) which lead to Democratic losses later because those ideas are stupidly complicated and poorly constructed. My concern with Mayor Pete is he's gonna fall into the same trap which will lead to a Republican majority again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t call it “outright attempts to appease..” but they are far more likely to compromise. The left is also far more likely to alienate their own, due to a type of superiority complex most fail to see within themselves.

If you really need examples of this, I can show you a few regulars who post here. It’s truly astounding. Compromise takes 2 willing participants, what the Democrats do is negotiate with themselves in a fools attempt to get the Republicans to agree. It's like lowering the sticker price on a car before the customer arrives and hoping he doesn't try to negotiate the price even further because you were nice. This issue gets made significantly worse by DC policy wonks who try to be "clever" by coming up with "bipartisan solutions" that collapse under their own weight. Few years ago Congress passed the ABLE Act which let's people with disabilities under 26 open a special savings account that won't count against Medicaid asset limits (which for me is $2,000), so long as you follow the rules (which don't exist yet). This should be pretty straight forward, it's a simple savings account registered with Social Security, but no the law created a massive bureaucracy in 37 State Departments of Revenue. The accounts are now at risk of collapsing because the service fees aren't to support the bureaucracy (not enough people signed up). This is the kind of shit that makes people hate Democrats.
