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

Obama won because he appealed to centrists

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.

I attended one of the rallies in my home state, which is a red state. The rally was in a red county.

I live in the highest population county in the state though so my county is blue.

Many of the people from my county went to the red county to attend.

The headline says “in a Republican county”. The implication is that those are Republican voters attending his rally.

Either way I hope they are able to make something happen.

.hexbear and .ml are both tankie communities that ban people who point out that Russia invaded Ukraine.

For all intents and purposes they are bot farms for foreign actors.

They don’t vote in America or argue in good faith.

You underestimate how easy it is to travel one county over to attend a rally.

I want AOC and Bernie to succeed. But if we pretend they are earning Republican votes when they aren’t then we will lose the next election cycle again and we can’t afford that.
