In no American reality is Mark Kelly right-wing. Neither was Kamala. The right in America has pulled so far right at this point that no Democrat candidate could be considered right wing.
and these “far left” candidates have been very popular.
Like Bernie Sanders, who lost the POPULAR VOTE in both primaries by a wide margin? Bernie was not as popular as the internet suggested, and I’d be willing to bet AOC isn’t either. And she has nowhere near the experience, and I’d argue charisma, Bernie has. And, as I mentioned above, woman and not white. Sucks, but that’s our trashcan nation.
Maybe they should try it for a change.
Hey, I’m onboard. Most of America isn’t though.
What do you think these losses are caused by?
Not great candidates? An avalanche of propaganda unlike the world has ever seen? Dem’s failure at effective messaging? The issue isn’t that we aren’t going far left enough. That’s just going to drive a significant chunk of voters away in this country. Going ultra far works great for a bigot fear-based conservative voter base. Not gonna work for a more nuanced liberal/independent voter base.
I thought it was moving to the right and alienating your base
The only widespread alienation I’ve witnessed is the Israel thing. That was a complicated geo-political situation that a bunch of people who fail at seeing the forest for the trees let drive a wedge between them and voting for what was best for our country. And now we have blatant fascism. Which I believe we will get more of if we keep gambling with super left candidates with other qualities that have been proven to be negative in this bigoted nation of ours.
MARK Kelly is pretty conservative by democratic standards, he admits to it. and he defends zionism as of recently tainting his potential of a future presidency.
kamala was a woman, and poc, its enough for men to not vote for her, and yes its due to sexism. her stances on “israel/gaza” is pretty secondary to most voters, and only useful for muslim populations, like in michigan.
To be clear, Mark Kelly isn’t my favorite choice. Just the option I think is most likely to win as of right now. I’d love to join the far left bandwagon and scream AOC from the rooftops, but I’ve been around long enough to know she’s extremely unlikely to win the big one.
