Herschel Walker: Whats the difference between the left and the right today?

A decade or two ago, I'd never have dreamed that a candidate proclaiming his own Dissassociative Identity Disorder diagnosis would be acceptable to either party.


And yet now, not only Trump, but also McConnell and Graham are fine with voting in, what, tbh, is, as genuine a "nut case" as you can imagine, because, you know, he's anti-Biden.

Personally, I'll give you, if Jeffrey Dahmer ran against Trump, I'd be tempted, but damn, are we not in a screwed up place?

I think the thing that is notable to me (as an outsider lol) is not that the Republicans are crazy and right-wing. It's that they are crazy, right-wing and take a huge chunk of American opinion with them.

Trump would beat Biden in an election held tomorrow. I know this is unfair and Biden is getting blamed for things unfairly but its nonetheless striking.

Think of all the shit that Trump has done and none of this is disqualifying. It makes democrats hate him more but moderates don't give a shit. Meanwhile, the Overton window shifts ever rightwards...

@Burnley123 I think moderates do care, they were responsible for beating trump in 2020 for heavens sake. But 5he rightist fever has not broken and the Republican Party leads them along . We desperately need a message to sell.

@monte3 I agree. Not the other guys doesn't work. I think you should embrace social democracy, get some populism etc. I don't see the democrats doing that.

@Burnley123 we have to find a way to appeal to lower middle clas whites for sure. 🤷‍♂️

@Burnley123 @monte3 Here's the closest we have to a left wing populist -- Dem Senate Candidate for Pennsylvania, John Fetterman. He's got charisma to burn, and he's not 80.
