He was probably referring to things like defunding the police.
He said it about a year ago.

I'm not saying it's a new thing. I'm saying I've not heard anyone label themselves as a neoliberal. It's an academic label the likes of which the average person doesn't get bogged down in just like marxist-leninist and paleo-conservative but it's been appropriated by a new group of people as an insult.
Working class voters, blue-collar voters, voters in the lowest economic bracket voted and supported Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
Pelosi is so bad at reading the room that she endorsed a candidate that went from "has a shot" to "about to lose by 10+points" and sees absolutely nothing wrong with blacklisting progressive campaigners for challenging incumbents, but she can do whatever. Never mind being a hypocrite, she's just absolutely awful at politicsPelosi endorsing Kennedy's namesake, Could be good news for Markey.
Not sure if it's been posted in here but saw tweets from Republicans who judged Michelle Obama without ever hearing her speak. They just went off the right-wing propaganda machine. These were tweets after her speech at the DNC.I thought it was a great speech precisely because she didn't link herself to Biden. At this point it's clear that Biden is not going to get enough young voters to win the election so he has to win center-right voters to bridge the gap (which he seems to be doing effectively). AOC linking herself to Biden sadly would endanger that at this moment in time.
My hope is that in the next 4-8 years, AOC can gain more of a national presence and show how the ideas she advocates for are not "radical left" ideas but are instead ones that help Americans as a whole. The GOP have defined her in a successfully negative way to the average American who has heard only a few sentences about her so the messaging has to improve for her to move up the ladder.
It's the same in Sweden. Supporters of the Sweden Democrats think Biden is far left when in fact he is further to the right than they are on most issues.I signed up to a Dutch rightwing website with comment section again, because I'm an argumentative cnut. These people are a lost cause though. I've been spending a better part of my morning trying to explain to these people that Joe Biden is in fact, not a far left socialist. It drives me insane. My allergy to fallacies are also acting up in an extreme way. Think I better delete that account again before I spontaneously combust.
Ah, so in Sweden the right wing are the Sweden democrats? It's hard to keep track of the different party names and their ideologies throughout the world. In the Netherlands, the liberals are on the right for instance.It's the same in Sweden.

My head just exploded.
Similar reason to why Liverpool had to wait to get their trophy.What a bizarre political system.
10 weeks to go before the election and only now is there an actual, official, Democratic candidate. This was already decided months ago, why wait so late to make it 'official'?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Thursday that her startling endorsement of Rep. Joe Kennedy’s (D-MA) primary campaign against Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) was born of outrage over what she believed to be slander against the Kennedy dynasty.
“I wasn’t too happy with some of the assault that I saw made on the Kennedy family,” Pelosi told the Washington Post. “And I thought, Joe didn’t ask me to endorse him, but I felt an imperative to do so.”

Martha McSally jokingly suggested to supporters to "fast a meal" and use the savings to donate to her campaign, but the move drew guffaws on Friday from the left, who cast it as a sign of fundraising desperation.
McSally, R-Ariz., made the pitch at a campaign event in northern Arizona that made plain a financial reality that has dogged her throughout her race against Democrat Mark Kelly: McSally is way behind in campaign money and is trailing in the polls.
"We're doing our part to catch up, you know, to get our message out," she said in a recording first reported by Arizona's Family (Channel 3). "But it takes resources. So, anybody can give, I'm not ashamed to ask, to invest. If you can give a dollar, five dollars, if you can fast a meal and give what that would be."

There’s an “official” announcement day for that, which is the point of the convention to begin with. These days it’s like a spectacle.Delayed by COVID-19 then?
Someone apparently thought it was a good idea to have Rudy speak next week.

Truly a basket of deplorables. Most of those are genuinely bad human beings, and the rest are wilfully ignorant.
Absolute shocking line up!
Tiffany is probably just horribly emotionally neglected and trying to earn the favour of her psychologically abusive narcissist father.
