#3 has never seemed to harm the conservative parties at the polls. Mudslinging is an American tradition
As for #2, I don’t think democratic candidates are flirting with identity politics nearly as much as the loud voices of the left are or the loud voices of the right claim they are
- Alupis 2y agoI think your final statement touches on another larger issue within the Democratic Party - it's been pulled much closer to the extreme-left than most of it's constituents are actually comfortable with. This pull is because of these extremely loud voices - amplified by nearly all of the media. Democrats of a decade ago have found themselves nearly party-less.
- gaganyaan 2y agoThe Democratic Party being called left is wrong. Calling them extreme-left is laughable. They are chasing Republicans right and throwing out a few scraps to the left. That stopped working this election. They need to drop the silly identity politics and focus on winning back the working class, but they won't because they're compromised by corporate interests.
- leereeves 2y ago> I don’t think democratic candidates are flirting with identity politics... Unfortunately Harris is saddled with that after being chosen by Biden because of her identity, as he admitted: "I promised you [black leaders] a number of things. But very specifically, I said ... that I was going to pick a Black woman to be Vice President of the United States of America." https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/02/27/remarks-by-president-biden-and-vice-president-harris-at-a-black-history-month-reception/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/20...
