Ousted House Democrat warns party against embracing ‘socialist-type’ policies

JTN-

Oregon Democrat Rep. Kurt Schrader warned this week that his party risked surrendering the middle ground to Republicans and losing support from moderate voters should it continue to embrace “socialist-type” policies.

“We’re leaving the center wide open for Republicans,” he told the Washington Post this week. Schrader will depart the House of Representatives at the end of his current term following a primary defeat from progressive Jamie McLeod-Skinner, who in turn lost to Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer.

Schrader had served since 2009 as the representative for Oregon’s 5th District, which had been represented by Republican in Congress since 1997. The district was one of the handful of Republican pickups that led to the GOP reclaiming control of the House of Representatives in the midterms. more

    > you bastards have damaged our election system to the point where a Republican will never again sit in the WH nor will they hold both houses of Congress.

    One less state shibboleth we need to mouth. I do thank them for that.

    I’ve still got to learn a dozen new ones for this, the current, week. Mostly about gender.

    But at least “Vote harderer! For Republicans! For a change!” can be put away.

    So, thanks! “Democrat” bastards!
