  • No, they like some social programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid but things such as free education beyond high school and guaranteed minimum income will require high taxes.

  • There is Obamacare. 90% tax rate is too high. It would discourage people from becoming rich. Defense spending support jobs. The US exports weapons to other countries. Education is free up to high school. After that would require high taxes.

  • Actually, there are other parties in the US. There is the Green Party and the Libertarian Party. Some drugs such as fentanyl are deadly if misused.

  • Democrats cannot appeal to those on the extreme left or extreme right. Take a centrist view and they will appeal to most Americans.

  • Democrats can't just advocate democracy. Hitler came to power because the democratic Weimar Republic couldn't control inflation.

  • Trump said that he would not seek a third term. If Democrats don't move toward the center, J.D. Vance will be the next President.

  • Biden did not have a strict border policy. Governor Abbott of Texas was busing illegal migrants to sanctuary cities where they were straining the resources of those cities.

  • Germany and Romania shows that people tend to have moderate rather than extreme views.

  • Copying from the Communist Manifesto doesn't necessarily mean that you have to believe in it. I belong to a community here discussing movies. Are you saying that only movies supporting Marxism can be discussed? Securing the border is not bigotry. When Biden was allowing illegal migrants to flood in, cities had migrants sleeping in the streets. Mayors of these cities pleaded with Biden for help, but he ignored them. It is bigotry when there is a hatred for these migrants because of their ethnicity. An example is the AFD party of Germany.

  • No, Biden and Harris were too far to the left. Letting in a flood of illegal migrants is a leftist policy.

  • If the DNC is far right, what is the GOP?

  • AOC doubles down on political loser

  • The Democratic Party would be foolish to nominate AOC to be their presidential candidate.

  • Most people want food, healthcare, education, and housing but not to the extent of the left. It would require very high taxes to pay for them. A high minimum wage doesn't work. . California passed a $20.00/hr. minimum wage law for fast food workers. The result was that employers hired less workers.

  • The economy is always the top issue in any presidential election. Most Americans will not want a leftist economic policy. It will certainly mean high taxes in order to pay for all the social programs.

  • Republicans in the House rejected the bipartisan immigration bill at the urging of Trump, but Biden was told by Republicans that he could stop illegal migrants using executive order, but Biden refused.

  • No, Trump won because his opposition was senile Biden who took too long to drop out. Hitler came to power because the democratic Weimar Republic could not control inflation, something which Biden also couldn't do. Hitler like Trump is a great speaker.

  • If Democrats want to win, they have to move further right. Jason Crow would make a better Democratic candidate than AOC. Not only because of his moderate views but because he was an US Army Ranger. In contrast, AOC was never in the US military. If she is the Democratic Presidential candidate, she would be running against J.D. Vance who was in the US Marines.

  • Are you saying that only certain views are allowed on lemmy.ml? How would you learn anything if everyone in the group thinks the same? The psychological term is called groupthink and leads to poor decision making.

  • No, if Americans are abandoning the center, Trump's popularity would be soaring. Democrats should move to the right not far right. Merz of Germany adopted tough immigration views, but they were not as extreme as that of the AFD.
