RePass fails to grasp the Third Way, the rational center that has always been the place where consensus, the essence of governance, can be achieved. @HillaryClinton is far from wrong. That policy of the 90s is precisely what brought a decade of global peace, prosperity, progress.
He misunderstands the center, where liberal ideas can actually be implemented, where center-right, center-left can find common ground. Compromise, consensus are required to pass legislation. A far left agenda cannot gain required support, must not be rammed through by one party.
While I differ with RePass' misunderstanding of the power of the center in politics, I sure do like his #Math The accuracy of his models in 2020 was superb, within less than 2 %. How did they do in 2016 when so many models were off?
Aristotle taught the Way of the Golden Mean; Buddha taught the Noble Middle Path; St.Paul counseled Moderation in all things; in the physics of waves, the most stable point in oscillating systems is the Node, point of zero displacement. Wisdom of sages, & nature prefer the Center

@MargaretHoover I'm a great fan of you & @JohnAvlon, but you should not buy the attack ads of losing Dem candidates. I'm a Democrat. Here are #facts on the ground in #Virginia CRT is sold as something it is not. #FactsMatter It is pernicious, destructive,toxic, and more. @Acosta
@DavidBrooks@CapehartJ the massive PARTISAN -Dems only- bills filled with hidden #PelosiPoisonPills like the PRO act without the name, $200Million Pelosi fave SFO Golf Park, $275BillionSALT, 2nd largest cost -were terrible ideas if you know anything about organizational dynamics
@davidbrooks@CapehartJ A course on successful commercialization of new products told how a nonskid mat for boat decks success depended on giving everyone whose help you need OWNERSHIP in the project. One group in manufacturing wanted to dye it fluorscent orange, to see in dark stormy seas. They did.
@davidbrooks@CapehartJ They got the mat to market on time. With all parties involved and with OWNERSHIP, cooperation is much easier to get. The faulty business model of Pelosi Schumer- don't let Republicans see the text till we tell them to vote for it -is doomed to failure- and poisons the well.
It is wrong on #facts -there's no 1 gene for race, but there are sets of genes that characterize different groups, races. It's just #DNA it's not political. hannah-jones misunderstood the genome science
It's pernicious in its indoctrination of children. @RTDNEWS "Whiteness is evil" is one central "truth" being indoctrinated into children. White children are forced to stand up, confess "I am white. I am privileged. I am an oppressor." 6 yo asks "Mommy, am I evil? I'm white." #RVA
@StephenAtHome Sorry but YOU need to know what #CRT is really about. It is NOT teaching "real history" of race. Marxist in premise & praxis, it teaches whiteness is evil, makes white children stand up & confess "I am white, I am privileged, I am an oppressor" & blacks can't learn
@JoeBiden YOU won Dem primary. YOU won election as POTUS #BernieIsARussianAsset who wants to make you fail which benefits only Putin. Pelosi dishonest legislation is why more Senators than Sinema & Manchin don't want to support it. Both represent egregious government overreach.
@JoeBiden YOU ran on overcoming divisions, seeking BIPARTISAN approach but that WAS DELIBERATELY NOT DONE by MY-WAY-ONLY @SpeakerPelosi with massive kitchen sink bills with her #POISONPILLS NEVER tries to include Rs, worsening partisanship. NO Pure partisan bills will pass.
I've rethought this and can explain what the problem is in terms of business practices. I think @SenSchumer will get that. @SpeakerPelosi may too. @JoeBiden. We need a different business model to pass bipartisan legislation, if Congress Dems actually WANT to do that. @SenateDems
@BillClinton setting priorities from BBB would have been better. Work requirements make sense. But there are also #PelosiPoisonPills the $275 Billion SALT tax cut for the rich and disturbing trend in many areas by this administration, surveillance of individuals bank accounts.
I know some of these folks in NoVa concerned about their children. They are NOT the #Jan6thInsurrection crowd @BillClinton No one is herding the cats.
Cabinet secretaries are acting, making very bad decisions - @SecMayorkas at the border,@SecCardona in Ed. #MerrickGarland - COI
