Progressive policies have wide backing in the USA. Declaring a candidate “too far left,” is a scare tactic from the establishment. AOC would bring out all the disillusioned voters who sat out in 2016 and 2024, due to the DNC picking establishment candidates, instead of candidates who reflect their values.
What’s working against AOC right now is trying negotiate with Hakeem “pro-Israel” Jeffries. She doesn’t need him, Jeffries is hated right now. She could’ve carried without catering to establishment centrists who accomplish nothing.
Vance is an idiotic couch fucker, who has zero appeal or charisma. A half-empty trash can could beat him.
Is this optimism or pessimism?
For the glass of water, it’s pessimism to see it as half-empty. But for a trash can, which is arguably in a better state when empty, maybe ‘half-empty’ is the optimistic stance.
Progressives do well in blue areas but lose in purple or red areas.
Vance beat Tim Walz when they debated.
Democrats would be smart to select a candidate such as Jon Ossoff or Andy Beshear to be their presidential nominee.
Anybody without an R next to their name is going to lose in red areas.
And the ‘purple’ areas are a tiny minority.
Stop chasing people who are never going to vote for a Dem. Bring out one worth voting for and bring out the base.
That’s a very pessimistic attitude which would certainly mean defeat. Democrats must get a candidate that can win everywhere. Jon Ossoff and Andy Beshear are good choices.
They’ve been trying that for ages. And they keep losing. So they try going even further right. And they lose again.
Maybe it’s time to try something different. Stop appeasing the centrists. Stop worrying about what the “”““moderate””“” right will think. And try actually taking a step to the left.
No, they haven’t been going right. Trump made and still make border security a top issue yet, Biden permitted illegal migrants to flood into the country. Harris foolishly said she would do nothing different than Biden despite the GOP strategy of linking her to Biden.
Okay, first of all:
That sounds more like Fox News than reality.
And second, there are more issues one can be right or left on than just immigration.
From https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyn9jwqzy8o
A year after the BBC last visited the border to understand the impact of the migrant crisis on the border, sites that were once teeming with migrants lie largely silent.
Just a few years ago, as many as 2,500 migrants once camped outside the city’s historic Sacred Heart Catholic church. Many lined the streets sleeping on donated blankets, idling while they waited for food and water to be distributed by local charities.
Now, only a handful of parishioners can be seen coming in and out of the church.
Immigration was made a top issue by Trump because he knew Americans were concerned about border security.
