Keep in mind that Democrats outnumber Republicans in this country. And non-affiliated independents could be split at the same rate. Has been that way for a long time. The only reason Republicans can get control is because our government is not a pure democracy. Rural voters have disproportionately higher influence on overall outcomes in elections. Pure democracy - like the popular presidential vote - is not how we elect presidents. All that to say, BBB is pretty centrist. Climate change action is pretty centrist. Environmental regulations are pretty centrist. How extreme the action on these items determines whether they are leftist or not. And BBB had pretty modest amounts of that (to try to be bipartisan it needed to). It was a lot of money but saying spending a lot of money is "leftist" is just false. Both parties spend far more than they should. Democrats just try to pay a little of it by taxing the wealthy, vs Republicans charging on their kid's accounts.
Which is also a centrist example, by the way. The majority of Americans do support taxing the wealthy (say, >400K per year earners) to a percentage close to what lower W-2 earners pay. Especially the extremely wealthy, which is a very tiny few. So that is centrist too.
You may not like these things yourself, but most Americans support it.
No, poor Americans support it because they don't have to pay for it, they just get freebies. "BBB is centrist" are you out of your mind?????
No one has guessed the answer yet... Susan Rice.
She's the one quietly pulling the strings behind the scenes right now as the head of the Domestic Policy Council. She checks all the obligatory demographic boxes. She has boatloads of experience. She's heavily connected in DC, to media, and to big tech. She's the perfect Democratic candidate.
If Biden doesn't run, then the primary election earlier in 2024 will become hugely significant.
Who will be in it? And who will win, to go on to the Nov 2024 election? And why?
At this point, can you even imagine stepping into the voting booth on Nov. 5, 2024, and finding Joe Biden's name as the only Democrat candidate for President?
There's a 35% chance he'll be dead. There's a 58% chance he'll be completely vegetative. There's a 0.5% chance he'll be the nominee. The dems have no bench though. No viable options which means their choice will be alarming. I promise you will be gobsmacked, shocked like battery clamps to the nipples shocked at the radical unqualified cynical moron they will dredge up to run at us. It will likely have purple hair, identify as a non-binary giraffe educated at Brown or Wellsley with a background as an NGO worker in Guatemala advocating for gender reassignment surgery in five yr olds.
They need a minority candidate to run, someone popular. Not Kamala, that’s for sure. Obama’s wife?
But I’d run a Black woman candidate/ Mexican male VP. Shore up those voting blocks since they already have the white liberals no matter what.
Could they win? Probably not, but they’d come closer than if they ran another 75+ year old white guy.
This right here is everything WRONG with the Demonrats...they don't care one bit about the policies (Because it all comes down from their globalist masters anyway!). They only care about identity politics and pandering.
