Mark Penn is a Horses Ass! Period. End of discussion.
Move to the Center? Only a Horses Ass could come up with that sort of
strategy. Now is the time for bold action. Working men and women
need to reach for the impossible, dream dreams of Good Days and
security, and most of all, Full Citizenship.
Notice who the uncrowned leader of the Democratic Party is? Bernie
Sanders. Let's leave the safety of the Center and support Bernie and
those eager young people who dare to believe that America can become
in reality what we have falsely been told it was.

Hi all,
Check out this boatload of crap! Penn wants Democrats to move “back to the
center”. I agree with green, the author of the piece that democrats need to
move further to the left. Look at the big crowds that Sanders got which
outnumbered Clinton’s crowds by a longshot!
WE’ve been to the center and it was not a good place to be given NAFTA,
welfare reform, the crime bill, elimination of Glass-Steagall, etc.
Seems to me we haven’t had a loud, proud left since Robert Kennedy ran for
president.
I probably shouldn’t have used the word we in reference to the Democratic
Party since I happen to believe that most of its leadership is every bit as
corrupt as the leadership of the Republicans.

Robert...Well, this is friggin' ridiculous.
Pollster Mark Penn, who works for big corporations and led Hillary Clinton's
2008 campaign into the ground, has some advice for Democrats.
In a New York Times op-ed called "Back to the Center, Democrats," he
writes...
The path back to power for the Democratic Party today, as it was in the
1990s, is unquestionably to move to the center and reject the siren calls of
the left, whose policies and ideas have weakened the party.
Candidates inspired by Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren and
a host of well-funded groups have embraced sharply leftist ideas.
Here's the truth: Polling shows that a majority of Democratic, Independent,
and even Republican voters support a Medicare-For-All public option,
expanding Social Security benefits, debt-free college, jailing Wall Street
bankers who broke the law, and taxing the rich.
Let's prove it! Can you chip in $10 to help us pay for new swing-district
polling to show top Democratic candidates that they should reject Mark
Penn's corporate advice -- and follow the lead of Elizabeth Warren and
Bernie Sanders? Click here.

Right now, Democratic congressional leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi
are deciding what messaging to recommend candidates run on in 2018. That's
why Mark Penn and others are trying to work the refs. We cannot let them
win.

In his op-ed, Penn preached budget cuts and bipartisan compromise. OMG! Are
Republicans paying this guy to advise Democrats on how to lose?
Voters are sick and tired of small-bore, uninspiring, and right-wing
messages. They demand a Democratic Party that fights for working people.
Let's prove it. We need to raise at least $10,000 to do new swing-district
polling. Can you chip in $10 today so we can show candidates why they should
follow Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders into battle? Click here.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
