The Democratic Party in Trump's Fascist 2nd Term. Commentary, Ideas & Strategy (+ non Woketicism)

Sweet. If corporations are going to be treated like people then they should get the full 360-degree experience, including accountability for their actions.

Let them learn that getting in bed with the government is a two-way street.

 

If Democrats are going to win they by definition have to convert Trump voters. And they do it by doing what Trump did - show confidence and have a mission.

 

FYP

Haven't you heard? Democrats are so passé.

It's the dawn of new era in US politics.

¡Viva la Revolución!

 

No because he is talking about New York and Texas

 

Sorry to be a dummy, but what's an IC?

 

So that's what I get for asking? You're giving me snide, mocking looks through your stylish new spectacles? Oh well, I'm not in the in-crowd I guess.

 

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I think it means antiquated old Democrats who are skeptical about the bold new socialist movement sweeping the country.

 

Nah, you didn't talk to inbred, raw hot dog eatin' yokels in Cow Hampshite. Those are the ones who always choose the next president.

Independent Centrists. In other words, people who didn't want to admit to being a Repug, back when shame and embarrassment were still a thing.

 

There was a poster wayyyyyyyyyy back who was extremely right wing but denied any charges of partisanship, saying he was objective. He called himself an independent centrist. When the wheels came off the economy during the second term of Bush II, he left the forum and was never seen again.

I never use the term, not because I thought it was too inside-jokey, but because I’ve seen the movie Candy Man.

 

New York doesn’t have a runoff if no candidate gets a majority, right? It’s pretty easy to imagine 7-8 serious candidates splitting the vote such that 25% wins it.

Every Democratic representative would at least consider running, as would Hochul and maybe Cuomo and Adams.

 

On the Democratic side, I’d rather my favorite candidate win South Carolina than New Hampshire.

 

No mocking. I was excited to see the responses.

I thought there’d be a bunch of silly answers, but @Dr. Wankler nailed it. I wasn’t super active on these boards when it was coined, so I didn’t think it my place to answer.

 

But lots of people that voted for Trump aren't Trumpers. All they know is they wanted a change and one person running appeared super confident that he could fix everything (by literally saying "I can fix everything") so they chose him.

Sure Trump is polling poorly now, but that alone isn't enough to guarantee a Democrat win. Not even after the AI bubble pops and everyone is poor. The Democrats still need a vision.

 

It's really a one way street. Specifically, the government driving the wrong way down a one-way street that also happens to be the corporation's Hershey Highway.

 

I see.

Thanks for spelling it out.

 

No sure why only one quote shows up above. I quoted both. Or maybe it's just showing up this way for me. Maybe I need more sleep.

 

Ah, gotcha. My emoji speak is still stuck in the peach and eggplant phase.

 

I like the optimism you all have about upcoming elections being free and fair. I don't share the optimism, but appreciate that others have it.

 

I'm guessing that if virtually every registered Republican voted, we'd still have the orange Hitler-loving felon as the GOP nominee. He embodies their values.
