Betomania Megathread: "Mr. Trumpachev, Tear Down This Wall!"

[Landslide Lyndon]

He’s a superstar. Damn I can’t wait to volunteer for him.

I'm a bit nervous about his vote to Fastrack TPP and deregulate wall street, but otherwise same.

GOD forbid a congressman who represents a city on the border very dependent on trade support free trade deals(yes Ik TPP wasn't Mexico) but free trade is a good concept you commie.

so? it is still the wrong position to me and america

A majority of Democrats support free trade. Enough with the WWC pandering.

The unions don’t.

The unions are also against immigration. Does that mean the Democrats should abandon immigration reform and start supporting the wall?

Chris Matthews feels a thrill going up his leg for Beto.

Are we sure this is a centrist group? I saw their feed and they seem to be a typical Democratic group/think tank. They even endorsed Pelosi for speaker.

[Landslide Lyndon]

LOL @ people thinking Beto is a progressive. He's more towards the center than the party estab.

Your concern trolling has been duly noted.

He's concern trolling but he isn't wholly wrong. People saying Beto is a progressive are just silly. He's a neoliberal moderate who gives vague progressive platitudes.

Oh please, stop this silliness. He is a typical liberal Democrat. Enough with this mentality that anyone to the right of Sanders is a quasi-fascist.

Eh, sort of. According to his voting record, he is more Conservative than 75% of his fellow Democrats, so, he would go in the moderate category, but he would be a Conservative-Moderate(if that makes any sense).

There are no conservative Democrats anymore. Are you seriously comparing O'Rourke to Gene Taylor, Mike Ross or Dan Boren? He is not even a moderate like Jim Cooper or Henry Cuellar.

Not to mention that it reeks of intellectual dishonesty when you cream your pants for Richard Ojeda but Beto is too right-wing for you.

[Landslide Lyndon]

And why would it be weird for me to like Ojeda on terms of policy. He was rather left in 2018, especially for where he was running, and now he is the first to come out in support of the Green Deal.

Ojeda is pro-coal, pro-gun, wants the US to escalate the conflict in Middle-East and doesn't sound very supportive of Obamacare. He is not a leftie by any stretch of the imagination, and if he was he would lose by as much as Clinton did in his district.

Did I mention that he is a Trump voter too?

🤔

The answer is no. He chose the New Democrat label. But maybe he can join No Labels. Obama did a better job of pretending to be progressive.

O'Rourke: *supports Medicare for All and is a foreign policy dove*

jfern: neoliberal shill

Honestly anyone to the right of Stalin is too right wing or neoliberal for jfern.

A lot of hot takes that a New Democrat with a New Democrat voting record who hasn't endorsed any of 5 key progressive bills, voted for fast track, voted for a larger military budget than Trump wanted, and voted for some financial deregulations is just to the right of Stalin. Obama did a much better job of pretending to be progressive than this.

I was about to suggest a drinking game where we would take a sip every time jfern says "New Democrat" but then I realized that everyone would be sloshed after a couple of minutes.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Inb4 jfern and the rest of the gang accuse the posters above of being on the payroll of David Brock.

[Landslide Lyndon]

It's hilarious seeing Kevin Williamson accusing someone else of snobbery when a few years ago he was ranting about trailer park white trash meth-addicts who were betraying conservative ideology and principles by voting overwhelmingly for Trump.

Would Bearded O'Rourke get more votes in the primary than Beto O'Rourke?:

Bearded Beto is Lincoln 2.0 confirmed

Lincoln growed the beard after he was elected.

[Landslide Lyndon]

RIP Beto beard.
