Even Trump supporters preferred her ideas. https://www.salon.com/2024/11/08/americas-political-discordance-the-want-progressivism/
Salon is rated by MediaBiasFactCheck as source reliability at Mostly Factual, not great but mostly okay. Bias is a little more problematic though, that is LEFT. The reason I bring the MediaBiasFactCheck up is that I think it actually is pretty supportive of your post. I mean your post doesn't really claim any falsehood. But, it is kind of a biased source, biased LEFT. On the other hand, there are definitely some issues that are widely supported but are considered left, I'm specifically thinking of pro-choice being much more popular than anti-abortion.
We saw voters vote against Kamala Harris while voting for propositions that are mostly supported by the Democratic Party. Oddly, Harris won comfortably in California, but voters supported more conservative stances on ballot initiatives. We also saw what happened with the Affordable Care Act. There are MAGAts who use it. JD Vance's mother benefited from the Affordable Care Act. It's not even a Democratic idea. The Heritage Foundation came up with it, and they distanced themselves from it because a Democrat implemented it.
Biden has done programmatically some good things for working people. But the critics and Obama's campaign analysts say that the party itself has increasingly become a smarty-pants, suburban, college-educated party, and it lends itself to the kind of backlash that we’ve seen and raised concerns about the way the Democratic Party relates to working-class voters in this country, and that led to defeat in the White House race. Axelrod suggested snobbery played a part in Democrats’ failed messaging after President Joe Biden had helped working people. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), a Harris campaign co-chair, “There’s a lot of work to do to ensure that we communicate to folks that the Democratic Party is the party of working people, is the party that supports immigrants, is the party that supports the social safety net,” Garcia said. He basically understood what was needed to be done and wasn't done anough.
ACA was made better during GOP administration, it was changed and the working parts capt. So today it's a good plan.
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she expected an open primary to take place after President Joe Biden’s exit from the race, instead of a Kamala Harris endorsement. Pelosi, who spoke to The New York Times podcast The Interview this week, said that things might have been different if an open primary had occurred. “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary,” Pelosi said in the interview, which will be released on Saturday.
BS. MAGA wanted to get rid of Affirmative Action and DEI because they claimed to want a meritocracy. They claimed that they voted for Trump because he's a billionaire. So, it shouldn't be a problem that the left has more educated people. They don't really want a meritocracy, though. In racially diverse countries, people are more opposed to helping each other. Human beings are just hairless chimps. We're still very tribalistic.
Trump became who he was because of inherited wealth and privilege. This is the antithesis of a meritocracy. Humans and chimps share almost 99% of their DNA. The closest animal to a human is a chimp, and the closest animal to a chimp is a human. It's humans, chimps, then everyone else.
We all have choice of being human beings or apes, pugs etc. Some have to work harder on it, because of the circumstances they/we are born in to. We have to overcome the evil and do what is good.
Trump's daddy paid for him to get out of the draft, his daddy gave him millions to start his businesses, and his daddy spent tens of millions to bail out his casinos. His sister said that she did Trump's schoolwork, and an unconfirmed claim from a family member is that Trump's daddy paid someone to take the SAT for Donald. As we have witnessed, he's not very bright. He wanted to nuke hurricanes and cure COVID-19 by shining light inside the body.
His one skill is self-promotion. He's actually very good at that one. He really doesn't seem very bright. Fatal flaw is that he doesn't seem to understand what he knows and doesn't know. Injecting bleach would kill covid19 virus in the body but, it would, of course, kill everything in the body it came in contact with! It was mind bogglingly stupid.
I remember that calls to Poison Control went up because of his stupid suggestions for fighting COVID-19. His base was also buying Ivermectin from animal stores. That's not to say that Ivermectin hasn't been successfully used in humans, but MAGA was getting the calculations wrong because they were buying Ivermectin dosed for horses.
