Well, a populace candidate needs to be known and supported by its party members. It’s like promoting an artist on your music label for example. The label spends money on what it believes to be its best artist. But today most artists, musicians, celebrities, content creators, politicians are supported by and large by its followers and somewhat by the algorithm and by the platform. I mentioned Mark Kelly, he’s the best candidate in my opinion. Not flashy necessarily, but is smart and doesn’t say anything outrageous. How do we get the majority to support someone who is simply smart and doesn’t seem to be motivated by outside sources and polls? I don’t know the answer, but I think that we are two divided as a country and we seem to have lost our way and I mean that in the most genuine way. Whether or not drag queen’s should be reading to children in libraries or whether or not trans people can get pregnant or have periods isn’t the hill to die on. It’s obvious that the Democratic Party is better than the Republican Party, but the bar is so incredibly low. Does democracy even work if the populace at large doesn’t know what it even wants? I’m gonna come back around to the issue of wealth inequality. It’s something that every person should be able to agree on LGBTQ the black community theHispanic community, old, middle-aged, white guys lesbians, conservatives, and liberals.
So the Democrats are not interested in public opinion and is hellbent on always making every election about identity politics. I’m saying this as someone who has always (regrettably) voted democrat in every election since 1992. Inclusivity is important, but why is it always…always the only talking point coming from the left. The message that everyone should be able to get behind is the insane wealth disparity that exists, most especially in America. I remember when everyone on the left was sooo happy, so thrilled when Kirsten Sinema was elected as Senator for Arizona because she was bisexual, as if that’s somehow a qualification, and how she took a huge dump on working class Americans. Has anyone given thought to the Astronaut? You know, the guy whose wife was affected by political violence? The guy who seems reasonable and well spoken ? Middle America might actually vote for someone like Mark Kelly who flew combat missions during the gulf war. Why is the Democratic Party so obsessed with AOC? She’s not a bad person, the right obviously hates her, and that’s shitty, but it doesn’t mean she should automatically be the darling of the Democratic Party, the obsession confuses me honestly, her personality is a bit grating tbh. Democrats are hellbent on either choosing and ineffective milquetoast man or a disingenuous woman.
