Republicans are conservative. The progressive wing of the Democratic Party is too far to the left. Democrats must move toward the center in order to attract more voters. Note the centrist candidate in Romania just won.

Note that the centrist candidate in the US just ate shit

[-] direwolf@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

In the 2024 presidential election, there was no centrist candidate. Trump was to the right and Harris to the left.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Lol no. Harris was to the right and Trump was to the far right.

[-] direwolf@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

No. Harris said that she wouldn't change anything that Biden did. So, her views were identical to Biden's.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, and Biden was right wing

[-] direwolf@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

If Biden who permitted a flood of illegal migrants is right wing, what is Trump?

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Well, for one thing, Biden didn't actually do that, as you've been shown multiple times. For another, Trump is far right.

Remember, Governor Abbot of Texas was busing illegal migrants to sanctuary cities because there were so many. If an open border policy is to the right, what would be a leftist policy?

The Republican and Democrat parties are both conservative these days, leaving people who aren't conservative with no representation. It makes more sense to me for each party to offer a clear alternative, instead of both supporting the same policies to attract the same voters and leaving everyone who doesn't agree with those policies disenfranchised.
