in order to win, he has to move beyond the traditional Democratic base. To do this, he has to adopt more centrist views in order to attract independents and Republicans.
How many times does this need to be proven false before people start thinking that “courting the centrists” don’t work?
He needs to focus on social programs and helping the working class. You know those crazy non-centrist, non-right policies.
What if he talked about shooting his glock, how often he prays to Jesus, and campaigned with like…Liz Cheney? Has anyone tried that? I bet we pick up two republicans in the suburbs for every left wing communist we lose in the cities. Right?
Yes, I do. There is a reason that trump won and it’s not JUST racism and sexism. He speaks to those that know that the 2 party system is rigged and needs a change. His change is more grifting for his buddies, but his message was ‘outsider changing the system.’
Think about why so many 2016 Bernie bros had trump as their number 2 pick. How many of AOC supporters also voted for trump in 2024? She asked her voters because she wanted to know. It seemed like the same answer Bernie told the dnc.
They have abandoned the working class. That includes repubs. The working class knows the system is rigged and wants a change. Not everyone in the working class knows what the change looks like, but they know the system isn’t working for them.

Such as those of Mamdani. You really think such policies would appeal to Texans?

Why not? But there are more registered Democrats in Texas than there are Republicans. So something strange is happening in Texas voting.
