practically any person in the West, never mind just America, can name at least 2 Trump policies. is that true for Kamala? was it for Biden? the Democrats' platform is essentially "we're the good guys, don't vote for the bad man", plus some boring, centre-right drivel that may well help people, but excites precisely no one.
the Democrats need big, memorable ideas that will get people excited, and to supplement that with practical economic policy and abortion protections. they need to quit being pragmatic with their goals. Trump shoots for the stars. he isn't restricted by logic or realism. people like those policies, remember them, and it gives him a strong negotiating position.
- hypeatei 2y agoMost Republican voters in a blind poll supported more of Kamala's policies than Trump's. It's pure "vibes" when it comes to voting. No research on policy platforms. We need to acknowledge that half of the voter base are unserious people treating this like a sports match rather than an election which has real consequences on people's lives.
