Which is better than progressives approval rating for a reason.

If it is what the voters voted for then it has not failed.

I’m not advocating for the move to the right. Just pointing out it is a result of low leftists voter turnout.

This is still centrists which is why he won.

and governed as a centrist-technocrat

This is what got him elected and re-elected. Appealing to centrists

Because it is in their best interest to vote for them to prevent Trump from getting elected. Nobody votes for leftists. That’s why they never win elections.

Those are liberal policies not leftist. Saying Obama was a leftist is revisionist nonsense.

Obama won because he appealed to centrists

Democrats won the majority of elections since the 90s.

Not enough leftists voted for Harris.

A lot of republicans are going to vote “not Trump” because of the damage Trump is doing now. Those votes will be easier to earn than progressive votes.

When leftists don’t show up to vote, the government shifts right.

Russian election interference?

Thanks for taking the time to politely remind these lemmy users they are in an echo chamber.

I agree that running a female candidate will lose votes. It wont lose my vote, but it will lose enough votes to potentially lose the election.

Trump has already been impeached multiple times. One more isn’t going to change your reaction.

But would the majority of American voters vote for her?

Because if not then it doesn’t matter how great she would be.

Why all the whataboutism?

Every election cycle there is a non zero number of people that get tricked into voting against their own best interest. That’s a valid thing to call out and be angry about.

Just because that commenter pointed that out doesn’t mean he doesn’t also get angry about all the other things you’re “whatabouting” about.

You have to vote for the lesser of two evils in order to get a chance at changing the election system.

The GOP are trying to take away voting rights. Not the Dems.

I’m gonna guess Trump would respond with:

A) “Fake News”

B) “A lot of people are saying they aren’t Chinese”

C) “Ukraine shouldn’t have started the war. China is just helping an ally.”

D) Not comment on it at all and say/do something attention grabbing to distract.

I don’t think he really cares about China. I think he’s just sabotaging the US for Putin.

This is an oversimplification that ignores nuance.

It’s like saying “everyone dies one day, so whatever symptoms you are experiencing automatically mean you are dying now”.

This is all part of the natural life cycle of empires. Best case scenario is they fizzle out with protection from another empire, like Great Britain did. Worst case scenario is really bad.

You’re saying Russia is invading Ukraine and China is getting ready to invade Taiwan because the US has less control because of decadence?

This is all part of the natural life cycle of empires. Best case scenario is they fizzle out with protection from another empire, like Great Britain did. Worst case scenario is really bad.

This isn’t even the first time in US history that they’ve become isolationist.
