    Being elected gave him the freedom to shout “suckers!” and sprint to the right.

    He’s just doing what Democrats do.

    I don’t really know anything about this guy, but i highly doubt he was even ‘progressive’ in the first place? What exactly did he do before, just say nice things, hence being ‘progressive’? Whatever.

      The guy had a stroke and he hasn’t been the same since. He’s been doing and saying things that alienate his base (disavowing progressivism, being a cheerleader for Israel, etc.)

          You mean like in cartoons, if one hit to the head with a frying pan makes you lose your memories, another hit will make them come back?

            Can’t hurt to try. And if it doesn’t work, try, try again.

    Can’t wait to be told that he is absolutely the best possible person for the job, and that it is absurd to even think about not voting for him despite his stated views. US Democracy is so cool and great.

    When the onion said he “respecced” they were not joking lol this man took a 180 turn. Everything he ran on and got him elected went out the window.
