| Chrkeller said: I can only speak myself, but the lack of open debate on both sides is why I quit contributing. I hear one side talking about how bad the GoP is, but yet they can't beat the GoP, which means what about their side? I mean imagine team A talking about how bad team B is, but team B wins by 30 points, lol. My view hasn't really changed in a number of years; the Democrat's platform isn't as popular as people think it is. But meh, whatever. |
There's different metrics though.
Ronald Reagan was very charismatic, but his policies haven't done us much good.
Jimmy Carter was a very nice person, but not an effective leader.
Pretty sure Lyndon B Johnson was not really a good person, but largely a great president (aside from Vietnam).
Dems broadly have a lot of issues. Terrible at messaging. Still have corporate influences like Republicans, even if it's not quite as brazen. Way more divided than Republicans seem to be - like how some Republicans can call Trump Hitler, but then start voting in sync with him when he's elected.
