I'm not even saying you're wrong. It doesn't change that he is far right. It just means in this case he's doing more good then bad.

However you can have someone just as tough on crime who isn't terrible to queer people. Just saying. But hey that's for the future.
If other people wanna compete with these guys I think they're gonna need to walk and chew gum at the same time.

The center and left doesn't need to sacrifice social issues to effectively tackle crime, but it's definitely an issue they are weak on just about everywhere and they gotta figure out what to do about it

El Salvador elected Bukele who implented harsh law enforcement which pretty elimated gangs from existing.
I mean there's apparently stuff that points to him potentially making deals with gangs.

I won't judge too hard, because at a certain point you gotta do what you gotta do, but still.

This story is one we've heard often before.

  • Not from an established party
  • Pulls popular viewpoints from both ends of political spectrum
  • Heavy emphasis on crime and punishment
The last one continues to be a big issue with slight differences depending on where you go (some countries it's fear from perceived violence from migration for instance).

The existing parties or the center/left needs to find a way to combat stuff like this because it's clearly global, it's clearly potent, and it's clearly not going away, and people who can formulate/communicate solutions or take action to address it are going to keep reaping the electoral benefits.

Thanks for the messages everyone.

I slept like shit last night. I can't stop thinking about it.

When I visited yesterday my Dad was a rock though. He was unconcerned. Man wasn't nervous/sad (or didn't show it) but was stable and kept saying "it's something that could be nothing".

He's convinced that Mom is working herself up over "something that might be nothing" and is going way too far with the talk of "Cancer's back and I might be dead soon".

We're very lucky he's here lol

She had kidney cancer in 2018 (coincidentally, she discovered it just as I recovered from Hodgkin's Lymphoma). She ended up having the entire kidney removed and was given an all clear after that. For the last several years she's had intermittent scans and blood work to keep an eye on things and nothing has popped up.

During her final CT scan late last year apparently something seemed off, so her oncologist ordered an MRI to get a closer look at things. Apparently there was a sizable mass discovered near where her kidney used to be, right near her liver. She has an appointment with her oncologist next week and has been a wreck since she found out.

I'll admit I'm incredibly nervous myself. Particularly since this didn't show up on previous scans, I don't know what that means for the speed this thing popped up/spread.

I spent a good chunk of my 20s caught up in my own personal crap, so now that I have a good career lined up with more free time/money I was looking forward to spending more time with her once I graduated college this spring. I thought I had more time. Maybe I will. I certainly hope. I hope it's nothing or it's something that can be fixed or treated. I always assume the worst.

fuck cancer

They are fictional characters and people have seriously weird attachment issues with this kind of stuff.

That's just my take.
It's a bad one.

You win by hitting 270 electoral votes. Obviously campaign for more if you can, but that's what you're aiming for and you pick the quickest, easiest route there.

Well yeah I thought like that too until Hillary dropped it in 2016.
Biden won last year without winning either NC or SC

Obama won in 2012 without winning either of them too

SC is something they shouldn't bother with. NC is like how Georgia was in 2020. It's a nice buffer if you run your numbers up, but it's not necessary for a path to victory.

If Dems hold their safe states and win WI, MI, and PA then that's 270. That's the path every nominee needs to go through and I'm confident that the ones I listed can pull that off.

Well, my criteria for a capable Dem president is someone who can win Pennsylvania and the Carolinas handedly. Michigan and California don't translate too well to the east coast.
Democrats haven't won SC since Carter and have only won NC once since then.

They don't need the Carolinas to win.

Most of those governors you've mentioned are too far left in the perception of the public to be able to win some of the swing states.
Ah yes, noted safe blue states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.

TurtleInFreedom posted...
Some of the older governors there don't have that much of a presense in national politics yet
No one knew who Barack Obama was in early 2004.

TurtleInFreedom posted...
Ossoff is 36, Americans aren't going to try a 40 year old for president.
The country that fans itself over young/handsome politicians like JFK, Clinton, and Obama would certainly vote for a 40 year old incumbent senator.

TurtleInFreedom posted...
As for foreign policy, if the next presidential candidate doesn't understand the dynamics of the developing nations in the Indo-Pacific, Biden's IRA will have been for nothing. Ossoff was the junior senator who went around the Pacific trying to lay ground for the IRA and the CHIPS act.
Okay and that's nice but voters aren't going to care about Indo-Pacific geopolitical dynamics. That's just not a thing most people base their vote on.

TurtleInFreedom posted...
Overall, sure, the people you've listed might be good from the perspective of the party, but in the general it's a different question.
You didn't really answer the question. You just restated your original point and said vagaries like "too left"

TurtleInFreedom posted...
Why do you think they would do good in the general, if that's what you're asserting?
Each of the candidates I listed has either demonstrated the capability of winning elections in swing states or regions where Democrats need to win. In the case of Newsom and Pritzker, even though they're from pretty solidly blue states, they've demonstrated the ability to utilize their respective majorities extremely effectively and communicate their policies to a national audience.

Tom Cotton is a charisma void. He would do terribly in a national election.

The worry with him is him getting power by entering into a Republican admin as VP or in a cabinet position
