You mean Harris promised the same thing. At any rate, Trump won because he promised tighter border security and lower inflation. Hitler won because the Democratic Weimar Republic couldn’t control inflation. Trump like Hitler is also a great speaker. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mnBRZNAA_0
Andy Beshear would have been a better Democratic Presidential nominee. Bernie Sanders would not have done well in red states.
This article says the same thing. The article is too long so I just read the conclusion. From https://media4.manhattan-institute.org/pdf/ib_19.pdf
These four lines of reasoning all lead to the same end point: It is potentially misleading to imagine that U.S. taxes in the 1950s can serve as a model for a better approach in 2013. Income tax rates actually paid in the U.S. have remained stable for decades.
There are policies that can reduce inequality, but I don’t think Americans would approve of a socialist government. Mamdani is live experiment of whether socialistic policies will work.
Trump’s border policies would have been well received decades ago. Because of Trump, today’s status quo is too far to the right. Democrats should have policies more centrist.
If the far-right becomes more extreme, people will reject them because most people prefer moderate views.
From https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/taxes-on-the-rich-1950s-not-high/
There is a common misconception that high-income Americans are not paying much in taxes compared to what they used to. Proponents of this view often point to the 1950s, when the top federal income tax rate was 91 percent for most of the decade.[1] However, despite these high marginal rates, the top 1 percent of taxpayers in the 1950s only paid about 42 percent of their income in taxes. As a result, the tax burden on high-income households today is only slightly lower than what these households faced in the 1950s.
Bernie Sanders might have won the Democratic primary, but he would lost to Trump. Sanders is too far left for most Americans.
I did address what you said. Adopting less extreme policies of a far-right group undermine its appeal.
The tax on the wealthy can be increased to lessen inequality but only to a degree because it would decrease the motivation to be rich. Making money is the basis of the capitalist system.
The undocumented immigrant population in the United States reached 14 million in 2023, the highest level on record, according to estimates from the nonpartisan think tank Pew Research Center.
The age difference is 3.5 years. In the debate, Trump was much sharper.
Don’t you remember illegal migrants sleeping on the sidewalks of El Paso and Greg Abbott busing illegal migrants to blue cities? The mayors of these blue cities then pleaded for Biden to provide aid, but he did nothing.
Trump is pleasing his MAGA base by attacking Iran. He wants Iran’s oil just as he wants Venezuela’s oil. The problem is that Iran is more powerful and much closer to Russia than Venezuela. Consequently, Russia is able to help Iran.
Incorrect. Merz adopted a stricter stance on immigration but not as harsh as the AfD party. Likewise, a centrist Democrat could be tough on border security but give migrants already here a path to citizenship. Inequality can never be completely eliminated because people aren’t equal in talent.
Most people do not have extreme left or right views. In Germany, Merz with his centrist views beat the rising far right AfD party.
No, Prince Harry exemplifies the qualities of an ideal Democratic candidate. He is young, articulate, has a pretty, intelligent wife and two children, and a war veteran. However, his views would have to be centrist.
Andy Beshear would have been a better Democratic Presidential candidate.
Trump was elected President because of the stupidity of the Democratic Party. They selected an old man who was too far to the left. For example, Biden let illegal migrants flood in despite polls showing most Americans wanted secure borders. Then when he dropped out, it was too late to have another convention to select a replacement. Instead, Kamala Harris was appointed, a person who so dumb said she would have done nothing different than Biden despite knowing that the Republican strategy was to associate her with Biden.
Talarico should concentrate on courting Republicans and independents. In a Red state like Texas, his policies have to be not too far to the left.
Most voters are not on the extreme left or right. The centrist Merz became chancellor of Germany.
Prince Harry exemplifies the qualities of I mentioned except I don’t know whether his views are centrists and of course he is not a US citizen, but John F. Kennedy would be another example.
The ideal Senate Democrat should have centrist views, young, a military veteran, articulate, and a family man. Prince Harry would be an example if he were a US citizen and had centrist views.
Climate and energy affordability should be part of Democrats platform, but the economy will always be the top issue.
Trump thought that under massive bombing Iran would surrender. He also thought Iranians would start massive protests against the regime. He envisioned the US involved in producing Iranian oil and making a profit, similar to Venezuela. The problem is Iran is far from the US and Russia and China can exert greater influence.
It would be foolish for Trump to believe what happens in the world doesn’t affect the US. US companies do business worldwide. The Great Depression was worldwide.
