    Clearly it’s not since it didn’t wven work against George W Bush 20 years ago. It worked against Trump in 2020 because the morges were literally over flowing with COVID deaths.The Democrats keep slodding firther and further right but become less and less popular each time, while people like you atrack their critics rather than the people who keep doing the exact same political games that keep losing elections.

      The critics contributed to electing trump, so I do criticize them. At the time of the election, it’s time to get behind the candidate.

      Bitch all you want during the primaries, but when your candidate loses and trump is the alternative it’s time to hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils.

      It’d say I hope Americans learn and next time elect Bernie or AOC, but they have shown time and again that they will elect a corporate dem and the shitshow will continue. I’ll be over here enjoying universal Healthcare and smugness. You guys do whatever it is you’re doing.

          I am still saying that he’s (or she’s) better than trump, and the caricature some American “leftists” portray is just bullshit. In the context of American president’s during my lifetime, top 3 easily.

            Yeah, I suppose you have to go back pretty far to get 3 presidents who aren’t total dogshit at everything.

          Not a lot of Republicans on lemmy to argue with, and they are beyond reach, deep in a cult.

        We keep getting told by the Democrats that we can’t have universal healthcare and that we ahould be grateful for the privilege of paying $600 a month for our health insurance premiums.

          Some democrats. Bernie, AOC, and a bunch of other are all for it. But outside of NYC and Southern California, people don’t vote for those democrats, they vote for the Bidens of the world.
