John F. Kennedy
“If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.”
John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage

Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Extremes to the right and to the left of any political dispute are always wrong.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower

“Both groups [of pundits] were critics, and that is the heart of the problem. ”
Jeffrey A. Miller

Peter Hart
“It鈥檚 not just tougher out there. It鈥檚 become a situation where the contest is how much you can destroy the system, rather than how much you can make it work. It makes no difference if you have a 鈥楧鈥 or an 鈥楻鈥 after your name. There鈥檚 no sense that this is about democracy, and after the election you have to work together, and knit the country together. The people in the game now just think to the first Tuesday in November, and not a day beyond it.”
Peter Hart

“It's always been vital, but now it is dire,
Our country--democracy--might just expire.
I used to say I didn't care who you choose
But these times aren't normal: THE RED SLATE MUST LOSE!
We each have one vote. It's a vote we must make.
Not just for us all, for democracy's sake.”
Shellen Lubin

Madeleine K. Albright
“The Republicans appear gutless because few have dared complain even while their party is taken over by people who despise them; the Democrats seem unaware that something similar might happen to them. The vital center, which in the past has saved the country from divisions over a host of contentious issues, has become a lonely place鈥攈istorically an augury of more extreme problems in the offing.

What the country needs is a plainspoken commitment by responsible leaders from both parties to address national needs together, accompanied by a general plan of action for doing so. Instead, Republicans are guarding their right flank and Democrats their left, leaving a gaping hole in the only place in the ideological spectrum where lasting agreements on behalf of the common good can be forged.”
Madeleine K. Albright, Fascism: A Warning

“MAGA Nazis hate democracts, because all fascists hate democracy.”
Oliver Markus Malloy, Inside The Mind of an Introvert

“What are your feelings from Bush to Obama?

Besides being responsible for the death of half a million people, I feel like Bush dealt a huge economic and social blow to the USA, one from which we may never fully recover. He directly flushed 3 trillion dollars down the toilet on hopeless, pointlessly destructive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq 鈥nd they鈥檙e not even over! For years to come, we鈥檒l be paying costs for all the injured veterans (over 50,000) and destabilizing three countries, because you have to look at the impact that the Afghan war has on Pakistan. Bush expanded the use of torture, and created a whole new layer of government bureaucracy (the 鈥淒epartment of Homeland Security鈥) to spy on Americans. He created Indefinite Detention (at Guantanamo and other US military bases) and expanded the use of executive-ordered assassinations using the new drone technology. On economic issues, his administration allowed corporations to run things and regulate themselves. The agency that was supposed to regulate oil drilling had lobbyist-paid prostitutes sleeping with employees while oil industry lobbyists basically ran the agency. Energy companies like Enron, and the country鈥檚 investment banks were deregulated at the end of the Clinton administration and Bush allowed them to run wild. Above all, he was incompetent and appointed some really stupid people to important positions at every level of government.
Certainly, Obama has been involved in many of these same activities. A few he鈥檚 increased, such as the use of drone assassinations, but most of them he has at least tried to scale back. At the beginning of his first term, he tried to close the Guantanamo prison and have trials for many of the detainees in the United States but conservatives (including many Democrats) stirred up public resistance and blocked this from happening. He tried to get some kind of universal healthcare because over 50 million Americans don鈥檛 have health insurance. This is one of the leading causes of personal bankruptcies and foreclosures because someone gets sick in a family, loses their job, loses their health insurance (because American employers are source of most people鈥檚 healthcare) and they can鈥檛 pay their health bills or their mortgage. Or they use up all their money caring for a sick family member. So many people in the US wanted health insurance reform or single-payer, universal health care similar to what you have in the UK. Members of Obama鈥檚 own party (The Democrats) joined with Republicans to narrowly block 鈥淭he public option鈥 but they managed to pass a half-assed but not-unsubstantial reform of health insurance that would prevent insurers from denying you coverage when you鈥檙e sick or have a 鈥減reexisting condition.鈥 The minute it was signed into law, Republicans sued in the courts (all the way to the supreme court) and fought, tooth and nail to block its implementation. Same thing with gun control, even as we鈥檙e one of the most violent industrial countries in the world. (Among industrial countries, our murder rate is second only to Russia). Obama has managed to withdraw troops from Iraq and Afghanistan over Republican opposition but, literally, everything he tries to do, they blast it in the media and fight it in Congress. So, while I have a lot of criticisms of Obama, he is many orders of magnitude less awful than Bush and many of the positive things he鈥檚 tried to do have been blocked.
That said, the Democratic and Republican parties agree on more things than they disagree. Both signed off on the Afghan and Iraq wars. Both signed off on deregulation of banks, of derivatives, of mortgage regulations and of the energy and telecom business 鈥nd we鈥檝e been living with the consequences ever since. I鈥檓 guessing it鈥檚 the same thing with Labor and Conservatives in the UK. Labor or Democrats will SAY they stand for certain 鈥減rogressive鈥 things but they end up supporting the same old crap...

Azar Gat
“The claim that nations and nationalism are modern ideological constructs invented by intellectuals and spread by means of state authority and the state's apparatuses is a misleading half-truth that is itself a modernist (or postmodernist) ideological construct originating with intellectuals and requiring deconstruction.”

“I have been watching the Democrats run the USA for four years. The police are still corrupt and incompetent, their 鈥榞reen鈥 energy policy is toxic, workplace health and safety enforcement through OSHA is a 鈥榞host鈥, Boeing is a global embarrassment, millions of people are being denied their eligible disability benefits through feeble excuses, mental illness is a national crisis, cities have filled up with the homeless, housing is out of reach to the masses, rents have gone astronomical, their proxy wars have us on the edge of the next nuclear disaster, their unemployment numbers are fraudulent because they do not count the long term unemployed or the disabled, unemployment benefits are cut off to the long term unemployed, illegal immigration went crazy during their term, and so on. I will be using my 2024 USA vote for positive change and that will not be coming from another four years of the Democrats.”

Billy Porter, Unprotected: A Memoir

Sarah McBride
“I think Democrats struggle with extending one of our basic principles鈥攚hich is that no one is their worst act, no one is their worst belief鈥攖o people on the other side of the political divide. I鈥檓 not talking about Donald Trump right now. I鈥檓 talking about Republicans. The question here is not how do I demonstrate grace in the face of Donald Trump; it鈥檚 how do I demonstrate grace in a world where people that I work with鈥攚here even people that I represent鈥攈old positions and beliefs about who I am that are personally hurtful, potentially.”
Sarah McBride
