You'd think, but I've had to explain a lot of very obvious points to people I thought were smart. I've slowly learned that nothing is truly obvious, and that you should check in to make sure everyone's on the same page quite often.
The decision between her and Trump won't be made by moderates, let alone the majority. There's a far few steps between this comment and the current reality.
Trump should be removed from the ballot, for his crimes
Trump supporters need to be convinced that that is right
Republicans should lose the election, for the fact they do not represent any reasonable majority
Trump supporters need to be convinced that that is right
Points 2 and 4 currently lie beyond that of any rational democratic system. Civil war is looming. Meanwhile, the US' enemies are looking for an opening to change the status quo - and Trump is ready to hold the door open to them.
I really appreciate Robert Reich's takes on US politics. He always makes at least the main points clear, and doesn't add fluff. If only he was heard by the right people more often.
Could I at least point out how I barely hear about DeSantis anymore? It's so funny with how the establishment pretty much created that amalgam and he was still so unlikeable.
She has one thing going for her though, she doesn't seem to be an active threat to democracy. Specific policy disagreements can be worked out over time, but lose self governance and it's hard to get back
If she wins New Hampshire, Trump will turn on her like a rabid dog. The division that he will create will ensure a Biden victory. If I lived in New Hampshire, I would be pushing every liberal I knew to support her.
It’s worse, because she’s twice a minority who doesn’t want to do anything for minority. And iirc, was a teacher who doesn’t want to do anything for teachers or the (mis)educational system to balance it in any way.
