- SilverElfin 9mo agoI think this is the bare minimum needed to change the current environment, if approval polls are staying where they are. If Dems support secure borders, protecting women’s sports, and sentencing repeat offenders, they would take away many of the “common sense” things that the GOP can use to hold onto independents. Otherwise, it lets people be outraged at the Dems enough that they would tolerate the extremism we see normalized now.
- Herring 9mo agoIt's not gonna work. Dems have been meeting Republicans in the "center" for a long time. Republicans just go further right. You think conservatives like Obama? It's not a rational thing. Like you said "Biden housing immigrants in hotels" and the implication is that he personally spent trillions on it and the sky is falling. You need to train people to switch their brains back on, because it's a national security issue. All kinds of policies from free college to a shorter work-week so they have less stress and more time to think. Again, just copy what Western Europe does. They went through it before.
