I’m not saying more progressive economics couldn’t help Dems pick up various seats in various places. But I really believe the best that’s going to get you is a 2008 scenario where Dems have a LOT of political power for 2 years and then a big backlash.

Jobs program would directly affect the poor much more than any of those things you said but OK sure. Yeah I think he would have lost, probably worse, and I think 11-16 would have played out almost identically. Except he would have done more good than he actually did.

Eh. But Obama might have lost in 2012 under that scenario, and Romney, being competent, would have dismantled what he did far better than Trump could. But Clinton would have won in 16, you’re right.

Which is why I hope we do that in 2020! ‘08 part 2: This Time It’s Radical(-ish, by American standards). (Or god forbid 2024). But I expect it to unfold more or less the same, except probably without the intermittent Senate supermajority.

Oh also Idk what you’re talking about re: public option. He was just supposed to pressure Lieberman more? That’s not a problem of sufficient spine or whatever, that’s a problem of like... leverage.
