Those two would be a formidable ticket. Plus it offers cover for Gavin if he were to lose. It is hard to unseat a sitting President and losing would harm Gavin. Think about Romeny. He should have waited until Obama was out and he most likely would have won it all.
Pass on Bloomberg. I honestly don't know enough about Newsom to say if he would be better than Trump. That's not a high bar though.
You can keep trying to deny it, but on average you are a person whose opinions and ideals usually fall to the left of the spectrum. Those are know as liberal. You don't seem to freak out over everything Trump, so that makes you normal. At least normal for you.
Ha, ha?
Plus he's an old white male. I think the democrats are going to do their best to make sure he's not nominated just because of that. They would rather have a minority and/or female or someone who is young and charismatic.
In contrast to this board? Oh, yeah. But, that isn't a true characterization. It all depends on who else is in the room. Around here, there is a 95% conservative bias, at least 95%.
This has been debunked multiple times. Not sure why it continues to be brought up.
Just because you hang out with people who are on the fringe, doesn't mean you aren't a liberal. It just means you aren't as much of a liberal as they are. I honestly don't understand why you continue to try to fight people calling you liberal. It's not a bad thing. It's who you are, there is nothing wrong with that.
I'm not fighting what you call me. I don't mean to sound like I am fighting what anyone calls me. I am maintaining that I- to myself- am neither one or the other ALL THE TIME.
Who is doing that, or wanting to do that?
Sorry to hear that. Maybe you were sick those days. While this board does lean right as a whole, the majority of the posters fall in the middle of the road. Saying it's 95% conservative is not close to being right.
I guess this is the problem. You're under the impression that you have to be one or the other all of the time to be defined as one. That's not really true. @uncboy10 has had some topics where he is more moderate about or maybe even right leaning. I'm pretty sure he would define himself as a liberal though.
It might be a problem for you, but not me. I think it's a mistake to identify as either, so I don't
That's his choice to identify as whatever he wants.
What is "close to being right?" As I said before, it depends on who is in the room. I also guess it depends on how you define "middle of the road."
This doesn't really need an explanation.
No it doesn't. Just because you're in a room with someone who is further to the left/right of you doesn't mean you are all of a sudden a conservative or liberal compared to everyone.
@ticket2ride04 , @Raising Heel , @TarHeelMark , @JuleZ '02 HEEL , @coolwaterunc are pretty close to center. Obviosuly @BillyL was representing the left before he left us. Even though @heelz2345 doesn't post much about politics, I would consider him at least someone who leans left based on the twitter. That's just who I can think of off the top of my head.
Everyone where??? How would you even begin to acknowledge "everyone?" That is such a vague, abstract perception to me.
Almost all of the people you cited NEVER discuss politics here.
You left out @heelmanwilm as "middle"
