I am not American, so I could not vote, but I predicted the 2024 result based solely on the shenanigans of the DNC.
Trump v Sanders in 2016 would have gone the other way. Trump v Biden would have been closer, at least.
In both cases the Democratic establishment crowbarred a wildly unpopular candidate into the race, and in both cases Trump benefited from that to gain power.
Sure, MAGA voters supported him, but when you look at how those elections shook out, many Democrat voters sat out and many swing voters went away from Hilary/Kamala.
So yes, the MAGA voters are responsible for Trump, but so is the desire of the Democrat establishment to prop up candidates that would fully embrace their agenda.
They would have the added benefit of not having another set of oligarchs behind them hoping that this current set of far shittier oligarchs gets removed.
Bernie doesn't need the billionaire class, he showed that by the grassroots donors that supported his 2016 campaign.
If they actually broke off and formed the Solidarity Party that sought to pick the best platforms from both the D and R parties and pursued policies of wealth redistribution and breaking down barriers to a true free market system, they would win.
No, that's Bill Smitherson, long-time Ohioan and car parts manufacturer who moved to Arizona after he took early retirement to work in film production.
Good, start the campaign now so that if Trump somehow crowbars in a law that allows him to run for a third term Obama can bury him
