Lou, you and your stripe have to understand that Trump is POLITICALLY TOXIC. He really has no appealing qualities as a civil human being. If nominated in '24, it would be nothing but a "REVENGE" campaign.
Do you not realize that the simple vote AGAINST TRUMP, is WAY more powerful than supporting any lame ass Dem candidate?
I recommend that you and your like thinking friends, get onboard with hoping Trump cannot seek the 2024 nomination. Do y'all not see that he is THE ONLY candidate that the Dems have a chance to defeat?
If Trump really cared about "America First", he would read the political tea leaves and throw his support behind the next POTUS!Last edited by Xuperman; 09-06-2022 at 05:52 PM.

It's always more about words with Trump than actions. He just could not help himself.

I think the Democrats are very divisive. I think most people believe that, probably all of them here. I also think Biden is the best you're ever gonna get from a moderate standpoint on either side for a long time and it's not good. Look at the the 2020 primary. He got smoked in the first three races. The ultimate result is wide but man up until Super Tuesday it wasn't. Add up Liz Warren and Bernie and it's a blowout all the way. He won with the more moderate areas of the party in the South and Midwest. The Democratic strong holds want Bernie, you think he's less divisive? Are the GOP candidates getting more centrist?
Our entire political discourse is a false dichotomy. The pitchfork people want to take your torches! Let's get back to the days where everyone has a political preference, but it's secondary to their understanding that politicians suck and aren't to be trusted.
But when you talk about division caused by the men themselves, the main difference here is in the support. Is the amount of attack Trump gets more unusual than the amount of support he gets? I am genuinely interested in your answer to that question. I think both are highly unusual and they are additive to each other. I asked it before, who likes Biden? Who loves Biden? I don't know anybody who really think he's the cat's meow. There are a hell of a lot of people who love Trump. That kind of support for a politician is inherently divisive [snowflake, cry lib, etc. you see it here].
That said, the democratic brand of division is deep, wildly unpopular across the country, and is bigger than Biden. I personally believe it is a division he is beholden to and I think a lot of people hoped he would stand up to it, but he hasn't. You can also find another hell of a lot of people who think Biden is a conservative.Last edited by Caf; 09-06-2022 at 05:41 PM.

Ok,
Here is where I am and where my common like minded friends are thinking. We all are hoping that polling with registered R voters will reveal that the Trump base wants a more appealing conservative candidate. If Trump would just step back and be KingMaker, it would be a LANDSLIDE.Last edited by Xuperman; 09-06-2022 at 06:08 PM.

Yep,
I only started posting on these political threads, to try and get a reasonable counter point of view. HOWEVER, none of our leftist friends want to post any detailed support of this insane progressive agenda. In fact, NOTHING!
I tapped out precise examples of progressive divisiveness. There will not be any response, let alone a detailed one.

Just a suggestion but if you really want to have a conversation with a person who leans left, it may make sense to be a whole lot less derogatory, and notact like every person that leans left believes in every single extreme side of that aisle. What I mean is, not every democrat believes in every extreme progressive ideal like the ones you pointed out. Just like every conservative does not believe in every single right slanted extreme issue.
It doesn’t seem like having a conversation with someone on that side of the aisle is something you actually want to do, you just want to pick a fight with someone from that side. That’s something that our political figures on the extreme sides of the aisle like to do.Last edited by Xville; 09-06-2022 at 07:18 PM.
