i mean, this is true, but in fairness to the dems, it's way, way easier to consolidate a bunch of mindless violent racists under the banner of "white men should rule forever" than get the consensus of basically everyone else
It's wild how the GOP has like a good half dozen guys under the age of 50 ready to step up and become the next king of racism at any moment, but the Democrats, the party that relies on the youth vote, won't even look at you until you've had your AARP card for a decade.
Like I just wholly disagree with the premise. I also think people drastically understate the "personality" part of Trump's personality cult. People believe in HIM, not in what he says.
I do think the media (and corporations) would absolutely fall in love with Haley if given the chance, but you can’t win the nomination with just D.C. and Vermont.
Also, like the reality is having some level of standards for experience and knowledge is going to limit how young your candidates can be compared to a party whose position is basically that Understanding Stuff Is Gay.
I don't know, I think Shawn Fain hit on something with "Record profits, record contracts". Telling people you're going to put more money in their pocket and protect small businesses from large ones is something I think Dems should tattoo on their necks and yell from car windows every second.
A lot more Dems have other things going on. Many GOP politicians could not reasonably hold a job doing anything else without running into numerous HR issues.
These guys crucially aren’t ready to step up though. The first guy cited here is DeSantis. Boebert just narrowly won a primary and had to switch districts.
And then there's comments like the one in the original original thread saying that the current admin hates Pete B and won't support him and I'm like... Why should anyone listen to you if that's what you think
