Americans aren't looking for leadership. They've accepted their lot in life is shit, they don't wanna hear about policies, they don't dream of a better tomorrow; They simple want to live the fantasy of having a President who's a real "man's man", the daydream of this guy who men want to be and women want to be with.

Truer words have never been spoken on Lemmy

they don’t wanna hear about policies

What "policies" do you speak of? Centrist Biden/Kamala didnt figure out a platform till the election was mostly over. Thats a fact.

Also, running as republican light will always lose you an election. They need to actually stand for something. This isnt an episode of the Kardashians and which personality we hate the most, its supposed to be leadership.

Also, centrists dont have the numbers to win anything without progressive support. When will centrists get that through their thick skulls. If they want to whine and gnash their teeth, please go ahead, pound your hands on the floor and cry for all I care, but for the love of god stop pretending you arent in a coalition. Centrists dont have the numbers to imperiously order people around. If centrists want to win they need to unite and listen to their partners. Or they can choose to lose, continue to bleed support and look like clowns.

and for the love of god, stop trying to get repubican votes. Its never going to happen and its not worth alienating your base. Its just so dumb.
