Hi Casey, I am also 82 years old. Aren’t you tired of corporate centered Democrats and their BS. Change will only come to the Democrats if we elect real Progressive. Here’s a better idea. Check him out. http://poulos.house
In a time of massive corruption, devastation of civil rights, illegal wars, economic disaster, and the looting of the treasury, our congressional rep has chosen to devote this blog to Centrist Navel Gazing once again.
What do you do for D4? How are you helping your constituents? You aren't. You are helping yourself and your blind ambitions.
If you want to go right, go right. Go be a Republican like you used to be before you wanted to move beyond city council in MA.
Anyone interested in understanding the danger of his centrist positions and backers, do some research. Do you want better or status quo? Jake is dragging us.
Calling out Israel for their apartheid and genocide is NOT antisemitism! And, anyone who is ok with the horrific human rights abuses Israel commits with OUR tax Dollars has no moral compass!
Mamdani has done more for the people of NY than any politician since FDR! His politics is spot on!
Here is what we need:
1. Medicare for all
2. Breakup monopolies
3. Regulate Wall Street and financial institutions
4. Stop funding Israel
5. Abolish The Patriot Act, the war on terrorism and the war on drugs
6. End socialism for corporations (no more bailouts, no more tax loopholes, no more subsidies. If capitalism is suppose to work for everyone, they should be able to stand on their own!
As I always agree, Please run so we can dump you in the primary and get a progressive Rep for D4. Centrists need to find their way to the Republican party because that is their true demographic.
Girl, you’re not paying close enough attention. Do you want progress or another politician who works for their donors? I like to be represented by someone who is able to call out war crimes and isn’t selective about who they hold accountable. He couldn’t even admit that Israel is out of control when they were called out by his guest at his town hall. He invited an expert and then contradicted him when he dared to speak out against the actions of Netanyahu and the IDF. I had second hand embarrassment. He’s condemns Mamdani (did someone say “blue no matter who”) and scoffs at progressives.
The Majority Democrats couldn’t even pull it together on the war powers resolution. They let Jared Golden make the vote to keep it all going for dear Israel. We fund their universal healthcare and free college while we struggle. Jake will ensure that continues.
Do you want an un compromised, progressive leader who will work for you? He’s not it, girl.
There are no Republicans running in D4. We do, however, have progressive primary candidates running against Jake. I am personally voting for Jason Poulos. I recommend that you look at the candidates and choose the best one for you in the primary. That is our best hope of getting a progressive candidate into Congress. Jake is not that. He has one by default for two cycles.
I love this guy. He is a gentleman in his approach. He is so smart yet humble. His ideas are not mainstream, which live. Where has mainstream gotten us? He cannot do it alone though and so the Democratic Party needs a complete makeover. I like what I am seeing with these guys. Auchincloss. Talarico. Ossoff. Etc.
MUST READ INTERVIEW! Jake's repositioning suggestions for Democratic messaging in order to successfully take away the high ground that Republicans HAVE earned, albeit through hundreds of lies and false definitions of Patriotism, ARE SPOT ON. The problems we now, from tech-social media based brainwashing, a tax system based only for the top 10% versus the education of the children of the other 90%, a broken and "for-sale" political system, and of course the economic kitchen-table starvation of most who no longer believe they have a chance at the "on-life-support American Dream", REQUIRE WELCOMING ALL true democracy patriots into a MUCH LARGER TENT (just hating and being revolted by Trump may win on the margins but won't fix what's broken). Hopefully the success of many Majority Democrats like Abagail Spanberger, Jackie Sherrill, and with hope James Talarico, will get enough attention to adapt much of their platform strategies -- and of course pick a leader would can communicate that prior to 2028. Believe Jake could do that (dark horse now like Obama was), but he may be far more valuable in Congress on key committees after the 2026 elections. Keep up spreading this messaging -- Go Jake!
You give me some hope. You have talked about supporting good candidates- you should look at Emily Berge in Western Wisconsin. She is in a primary to run against Derek Van Orden. Her opponent was anointed a YEAR ahead of time by another group. The DCCC is working hard to get her to drop out. She is an 8 yr Eau Claire city council person. The last 3 she has been elected president. She is genuine. Her opponent has run twice in Western Wisconsin and lost both times. She is not genuine. Why do the national party leaders think they know better than a primary?
Majority Democrats have already failed as a caucus. They failed to curb Trump’s war against Iran and allowed Jared Golden to cast the one vote so that they could all fulfill their obligations to AIPAC. Do not be fooled. Look deeper into what they are doing and who is funding them. They are playing in your faces and we have options. Please vote for Jason Poulos in the primary if you want someone who actually will fight for you in Congress. Jake is bought and he’s glad to be bought. Have any of you ever received grassroots fundraising requests from him? He doesn’t need your money because he has very big donors and he would rather answer to them.
Don’t you think Jake should debate his primary opponents?
I’m not a right wing populist. I’m a bleeding heart, tree hugging, anti-war pro humanity leftist. I believe in a system that works for the people not corporate interests. I love all of humanity and want everyone to have equal rights and freedoms. Jake is only in office to support a foreign country that has a way better standard of living than we do here. They have universal healthcare, free education and a robust social safety net, that Jake loves sending our tax dollars to support but doesn’t think we deserve any safety net. He is against Social policies for his constituents but loves to fund them for a foreign country!
Auchincloss and Talarico are great new leaders in the Democratic Party. As an 82-year-old Democrat, I welcome them and urge them on.
Auchincloss and Talarico are 2 very different people. As a 54 year old PROGRESSIVE - Auchincloss does NOT work for D4.

Well said! These fake democrats need to go!
Calling out Israel for their apartheid and genocide is NOT antisemitism! And, anyone who is ok with the horrific human rights abuses Israel commits with OUR tax Dollars has no moral compass!

6. End socialism for corporations (no more bailouts, no more tax loopholes, no more subsidies. If capitalism is suppose to work for everyone, they should be able to stand on their own!
7…. I have an entire list but I’ll stop here.
Right on, Judy!
As I always say, PLEASE RUN FOR HIGHER OFFICE.
As I always agree, Please run so we can dump you in the primary and get a progressive Rep for D4. Centrists need to find their way to the Republican party because that is their true demographic.

Appreciate your position but we need to win in 2026 and 2028. The demo base will not beat the MAGA base.

You like a guy who thinks funding a genocide is a good use of our tax dollars and sides with the republicans on any social safety net for the people?
His ideas are completely mainstream - he calls himself a centrist for a reason. He is not from the same cloth as Talarico.
We do not need to go further center. Wake up! He does NOTHING for D4 and he's funded by the same people funding the right - AIPAC, Palantir - do a small amount of research on Majority Democrats and you might see the truth. https://therealnews.com/your-guide-to-the-billionaire-backed-groups-working-to-push-dems-right-in-2026
