Listen to the How Conservatism Won podcast by Behind the bastards. It goes back further, but this is all a part of a grand plan. Melon is just taking advantage of the situation, also for his own personal gain of course.

Probably a good number of people who aren't directly affected by the cuts... Yet. Something us Americans seem to lack a lot of is sympathy/empathy. Unless it strikes close to home, a lot of people are pretty callous to the plight of others.

It is odd that it wasn't the first one that stopped them.

Hasn't this been a conservative wet dream to end these programs since they started? Doge just lets them bypass Congress and all the republicans get to shrug their shoulders and say "there is just nothing we could do, king shithispants can't be stopped". If only Biden had the same mindset to push through things like student loan debt relief.

Edit: loan* not load

I agree. Decorum has gone out the door. I don't give a fuck what color, or sex you are, just do the job. I agree most people didn't care she was black or a woman, it was her terrible platform and the people behind her pushing for her instead of some kind of abbreviated primary for the Democrats to pick a better candidate.

I am just waiting for an American party. One that is literally for the people, by the people. I think some major union rep could make a good candidate. The UAW boss for example.

Seeing as trump got about the same amount of votes as the last election, the deciding factor was the amount of "Democrats" that stayed home. I doubt there is much overlap between those who voted for Obama and then saw what trump did the first go around and said yeah, they want some more of that.

I'm taking biden's voting record as proof he was a centerist. The media plays whatever makes them the most money. 24hr news networks need to die off. It's painfully obvious when articles like this.

I agree being a centerist is suicide. The left needs to pull the right back to the middle a lot more than the other way around.

Nowhere in this article does it state what questions were asked or how many people were surveyed. I'm sure you could look it up, but I think it's almost irrelevant.

FTA:

This just days after Gallup released another survey showing of the five living American presidents, former President Barack Obama is the most liked, and former President Joe Biden is the least. Forty-eight percent of Americans surveyed had a favorable opinion of President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton, though more people were unfavorable toward Trump (12% answered as having ‘no opinion’ on Clinton).

Now how is it that Joe Biden, who was a very centerist candidate/president one of the least popular presidents? I suspect that Harris' biggest problem is that she was a no change from the Biden administration and just not trump. It's funny, I totally agree she should have never been anywhere near the Cheney's. Walz was a great choice for VP, and I think the only smart decision of her "campaign". Maybe if she had courted the same people that supporter Bernie or even AOC she would have had much better results.

4 is what got me into the series! I agree it fit most with the previous titles. Good on you for finishing the game. I played a couple hours and never opened it again.

While their own political landscapes are vastly different than our own they do seem to generally agree that the American left has gone farther left than the American right has gone farther right.

So in their, and your estimation, the resurgence of Nazis in the US specifically is less of a shift to the right, but people who want equal rights and to not be targeted by police and corporations is far left? Wanting healthcare and an end to homeless, war, and to stop the persecution of LGBTQ+ for what are obviously biased religious reasons.

I agree, no one liked Harris, she was the first out in the 2020 primaries. Her politically sterile speeches, by another name would be moderate. Not pissing off either side. Do you think she lost both primaries because she was TOO left? Or more likely because she was too in the middle, like this poll is claiming people wanted from her.

Who is popular with the republican rank and file? A significant number of his own cabinet members from the first term said he shouldn't Return.

You're moving the goal posts for this article as well. Who could Harris have cozied up to that was close to center? Who in the republican party can even be considered the moderate centrists? I imagine the reason Cheney lost her seat has much more to do with faux news dragging her through the mud because she had the audacity to investigate the obvious insurrection that happened and go against an orange turd than her not being "conservative" or popular enough to win.
