Well yeah I didn't mean to suggest anyone should back him as a presidential candidate. The ironic thing is the democrats would probably win more votes from Trump's base by having a more progressive candidate, because the left / right spectrum isn't everything. I'm sure many Trump voters were people who knew they were getting screwed over by the billionaire class and corrupt politicians, wanted change, and were dumb enough to think Trump would fix things. They could be won over by a progressive candidate, but I agree a right-leaning democrat is precisely the thing they will never vote for.
Sorry I'm very keyed up about current events lately, and while I'm not looking for a fight, some part of my lizard brain probably is.
I agree with this! In 2017 I kind hoped his win would be like an electric jolt to the genitals for Dems to stop being how I've already described them being. If only...
I only wish I wasn't so sure that's who we're going to get. And with the same old arguments. "xxxx is just too radical. The middle will vote R if we go with them!"
