I'd rather have JB Pritzker; a fighter who is not afraid of standing up for the working class and not afraid of Republican attacks.

Also, like FDR and the Kennedy's, he is weathy, but not a schill for his class and like FDR and LBJ, he believes the government can do good things for American citizens.

In my lifetime, moderate Democratic presidents have not worked out as well as I hoped.


Harry Truman said it well:

Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will vote for the real Republican all the time.”

Democrats need to go back to their roots, especially after the Trump' era atrocities.

it was centrist Biden who did and who is considered by many to be the best President that we had.

And while very much previous century, Democratic Southern governors won.
