The Moderate Democrat

A voice for the Democratic center.

Common sense, liberal democracy & real solutions. Pushing back against extremism on the left and the right.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

We believe in a Democratic Party that builds, grows, and governs.

Liberal democracy. Capitalism that creates opportunity. American leadership. Common sense.

We reject extremism on the left and right.

The Democratic center deserves a voice.

Welcome to The Moderate Democrat. 🇺🇸

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

@cafreiman Exactly. Wealth isn’t a fixed pie. Immigration, entrepreneurship and investment can all make America richer. Democrats should be the party of growing the pie, not fighting over how to divide it.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

@rodball22 @RoKhanna Democrats have supported capitalism for generations. That didn’t suddenly become a Republican position.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

Democrats should make America easier to build in, easier to start a business in, easier to raise a family in and cheaper to live in.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

Always a good day to condemn socialism.

Credit to the Democrats who joined in. 🇺🇸

[Acyn @Acyn]

The House votes to condemn socialism
220-192

Eight Democrats vote in favor of the resolution condemning socialism

Two Democrats voted present

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

A Marxist-Leninist-Maoist faction thinks AOC is “too moderate.”

Remind me again why Democrats should make room for the DSA?

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Marxist-Leninist-Maoist faction of the DSA rejects AOC as a potential 2028 presidential candidate, accusing her of being "too moderate."

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

@RashidaTlaib Tax the rich? Fine. That’s a tax policy debate.

But Democrats don’t need socialism to support a fairer tax code.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

Foreign policy isn’t separate from the cost of living.

When an open-ended conflict sends energy prices higher, Americans eventually pay for it.

Strength requires clear objectives, a strategy and an exit.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

@mehdirhasan If the American Dream has become harder to achieve, our job is to fix that. Not tell Americans to move to Canada.

[Rep Josh Gottheimer @RepJoshG]

I’d love to get back to the issues elections should be about: making life more affordable and holding the administration accountable.

But we can’t ignore that members of our party are embracing a hate spewing streamer like Hasan Piker. We can't deliver for American families unless we're willing to call out the hate and stand up for the values of the Democratic Party.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

Turns out rejecting the DSA isn’t just a “moderate Democrat” position.

[Riley Rogerson @riley_rogerson]

Walking out of Dem caucus Rep. Josh Gottheimer was discussing DSA with Rep. Maxine Waters.

He told her that DSA doesn’t like her.

She responded: “I don’t like them either. They’re a plague.”

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

You don’t build a Senate majority by winning arguments inside the Democratic Party.

You build one by winning states that aren’t already blue.

[Politics & Poll Tracker 📡 @PollTracker2024]

Bernie Sanders tells Politico that the “Democratic establishment” is its own biggest obstacle to a Senate majority.

Tax income. Close loopholes. The wealthy can pay more.

But taxing unrealized gains or net worth is bad policy.

You can be pro-growth and still believe in a fair tax code.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

Pay taxes on what you earn. Get rid of loop holes. Raise taxes on the richest, back to the pre 2017 levels. The economy grew just fine back then.

Paying taxes on what you haven't earned, whether on net worth or unrealized capital gains is just plain stupid.

Not one proponenent I have spoken to has done a multi year behavioral analysis. Meaning, how will the behavior of those being taxed on net worth or unrealized gains change.

And it will change. To the detriment of the economy and workers.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

The answer to extremism on the left isn’t extremism on the right. Democrats should reject both and defend liberal democracy.

[Free Expression @WSJFreeEx]

Conservatives have long been critical of leftist overreach. The problem with the dissident right’s approach is its insistence that right-wingers be willing to do whatever it takes to defeat the other side, writes @sladesr

If you want evidence that capitalism is a force for good, just visit a grocery store.

My ode to the humble American supermarket, for @WSJFreeEx

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

@RashidaTlaib The DSA is not the Democratic Party. It’s a separate socialist organization with its own agenda. Democrats should stop pretending that rejecting the DSA means rejecting Democrats.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

@RashidaTlaib The DSA has its own organization, ideology and political agenda. Democrats shouldn’t be afraid to say it: democratic socialism is not the future of the Democratic Party.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

@Bobo60817857370 @sfnativekelly @steveschale @MichaelLaRosaDC @GOP @DemSocialists Winning elections, building majorities, passing legislation and delivering results. That’s what we mean by governing.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

Democrats don't have to choose between economic growth and lowering costs.

Build more housing. Produce more energy. Encourage competition. Make it easier to start and grow a business.

An affordability agenda should be a growth agenda.

[The Moderate Democrat @ModerateDemHQ]

Good. Tariffs are taxes. Americans shouldn’t be paying more because of a pointless trade war.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

This is great to see from Schumer, full unconditional repeal of Trump’s destructive new tariffs on Canada.
