Are you saying that only certain views are allowed on lemmy.ml? How would you learn anything if everyone in the group thinks the same? The psychological term is called groupthink and leads to poor decision making.
No, if Americans are abandoning the center, Trump's popularity would be soaring. Democrats should move to the right not far right. Merz of Germany adopted tough immigration views, but they were not as extreme as that of the AFD.
Biden later began to realize that Americans did not want a flood of migrants, but the damage had been done. Of course, if more illegal migrants are allowed in more would be deported.
No, Democrats has to attract voters with a centrist view because these are the largest block. Note that in Germany and Romania the centrist candidate won. Most people do not have extremist views.
Trump's threats of tariffs appealed to Americans to thought that jobs are going overseas. The Democratic policy should be to restrict tariffs to protecting strategic industries and in response to countries which put tariffs on American products.
Why do you think the Democratic Party is unpopular?
Biden had an open border policy and Harris foolishly said that she wouldn't have done anything differently than Biden despite polls showing that Americans wanted more border security. Harris would have been smart to do want Merz of Germany did; adopt a tough immigration policy in order to undermine the appeal of the AFD.
If Democrats want to win, they better move toward the center because that's where most Americans are.
Yes, the Democratic Party has to move away from the left, otherwise their views are out of touch with most Americans. Jason Crow might be a good Democratic Presidential candidate.
Crockett like AOC will not have nationwide appeal. Like AOC she might be a good speaker, but her views are too far to the left. Democrats need a centrist such as Andy Beshear. David Hogg is not strong with the Force. In this case, "strong with the Force" means a person who can perceive what people want. Trump is very strong with the Force. Some people might say the dark side of the Force but a person with the Force whether dark or light will defeat a person who doesn't have the Force at all.
Remember, Governor Abbot of Texas was busing illegal migrants to sanctuary cities because there were so many. If an open border policy is to the right, what would be a leftist policy?
If Biden who permitted a flood of illegal migrants is right wing, what is Trump?
Trump focuses on anti-Semitism, yet there are other groups that are targets of hate.
'Project Esther' is the playbook for Trump's disingenuous anti-antisemitism agenda
No. Harris said that she wouldn't change anything that Biden did. So, her views were identical to Biden's.
Democratic leaders such as Obama should have urged Biden not to run. If he refused, they should have encouraged other candidates to run against him during the Democratic convention. Harris said that she would not have done anything different than Biden. This was stupid since the strategy of Republicans was to associate her with Biden.
Remember governor Abbott of Texas of busing illegal migrants to cities outside of Texas. Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona would make asylum tougher. From https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gallego-unveils-immigration-plan/ar-AA1EDI4k
It would also place new limitations on asylum — a protection sought by many migrants who claim they are fleeing persecution or danger. Gallego’s plan would raise the standard to obtain asylum protections — which is something also sought by Republicans, who argue the protections should be harder to gain.
He doesn't take orders from Russia, but he doesn't seem to realize the ramifications of what he's doing.
In the 2024 presidential election, there was no centrist candidate. Trump was to the right and Harris to the left.
