I’d prefer the democrats just get their act together and move back somewhat towards the middle. And go for someone left of centre and not far left like AOC.

AOC being considered far left in the US is nuts to me. And you are right Jurgen. She is that in the US. I don't mind her personally as I love Bernie but the US seems like it still isn't ready for a female at the helm. Scary tbh.

It’s mental, there isn’t a left in US politics, there is a centre and a far far right.

Mamdani shows what can be done or how you can resonate with people. Whether that can be stretched outside of the cities is another matter.

But there's also the chance that he could just use tiktok better than the next person

Although, to be fair, it’s getting that way here in the UK too.

Labour and the Liberal Democrat’s in the centre, Tories on the right, hanging onto the Reform coattails.

After that many years of Tories running the country. Must be the because the Tories were left wing nutters for over a decade! Or we blame your disastrous Brexit. Or is it covid?

I posted a video a while back (maybe a different thread) that showed that your ideals and beliefs could remain the same but where you landed on the current left to right political spectrum would have changed

This is one of the worlds leading genocide and holocaust scholars. If you value expertise and academia then it's worth considering his view. If you cannot see this as a genocide yet have a word with yourself.

Well they taxed us more than any govt in post-war history (except the current one) so I'd say they were way too far to the left in economic terms.

I’m not sure about that, I think it’s just pandering to those who have gone extreme and not calling them out on it

You'd have to watch it....to get the essence of what I'm saying. There was no pandering going on
