Just wait until the adults are people who grew up with the YouTube algorithm

The difference between the left and the right is that many Republican voters will vote for a candidate based on a single issue, while many Democrat voters will not vote for a candidate based on a single issue.

I’m genuinely not sure if there is a set of policies the left can offer which will adequately appeal to their entire base. I think the best case is another 2008 Obama who didn’t actually campaign on much hard policy other than just idealistic “hope”, which meant that a lot of voters could see what they wanted in him.

Meanwhile Republicans will continue to destroy the country while throwing out scraps like marginally lower taxes (but much lower for the rich).

Seriously, if third parties actually cared then they would contest local elections and try to gain senate/house seats which could force democrats and republicans to work with them to pass legislation.

But when third parties only show up once every four years in the single biggest election it shows that either they’re trying to play spoiler or just doing a quick cash grab.

Most normal Republican

Everyone loves to bag on boomers, but they’re actually more left leaning than they’re given credit for (more so now after Covid killed a lot of antivax seniors). Gen X is the MAGA stronghold.

Is there any past comment or behavior that would suggest Trump wouldn’t run for a third term, if given the chance?

Well he definitely said that in 2020, and if someone had had the foresight to ask him in 2016 he probably would have said it then as well, so I’m going to go ahead and be a little skeptical here.

Tbf those rich people were simultaneously waging literal war (like with guns and everything) against their workers.

Democrats control 1/3 branches of government right now and I can’t find a single article posted by you which calls out the GOP. I think you’re a troll.

This guy only posts articles calling out democrats, and does not mention republicans at all. So it’s definitely not implied that he supports one over the other. Especially when this specific line is the most popular wedge issue for conservative-aligned interests, despite once again democrats being substantially more progressive on this issue.

And whataboutism? The GOP is one of two parties in a two party system, with the other being democrats. So yes it’s natural that if you mention one party’s stance you would then also mention the other.

Also just lol at immediately responding with name calling. Btw can you name a single Republican that’s advocated for Palestine? Because I see a lot of Ds, but not a single R.
