It has long been rule of thumb that both sides go fairly far off center during the primaries. And then both sides tend to come back to near center for the general. Biden has already said about things like Medicare for all and the green new deal that we have to focus on what we can afford. And now that the debt has been exploded from Covid, large scale programs IMHO are going to be off the table.
Who said anything about conservative? If any Democrat was conservative they would be a Republican. There are however, many Democrats who are left of center and maybe even right of center on certain issues.
By the way, the most Liberal President to this day is still FDR.
You just can’t broad-brush it. Over the years I have gotten to realize that each person has various degrees of views on many subjects. As for me, while I am more of a liberal on social issues, I am more of a conservative when it comes to the economy. I am not a single issue voter, but there are quite a few out there.
We have never had a woman VP. It would be historical. And what might be the chances that after VP she could be POTUS? So there is that path if she becomes VP.
Perhaps. But what is going to be interesting to watch is how much Trump will hurt himself with the woman’s vote attacking her. He has already called her a “nasty women” and then did a tweet about how “suburban housewife” will vote for him because he got rid of low cost housing in their neighborhoods. Which to some sounds rather racist.
I saw the “nasty” thing. There was a female commentator on FNC who said “Nasty is an inappropriate term for a woman” or words to that effect. She likened it to bitch and ■■■■ .
I thought that was interesting. Has this always been the case or is it a recent development? If it is recent, what is the catalyst?
No, I mean in general. When did “nasty” become derogatory to women specifically? Since Trump started saying it?
Is it acceptable to refer to men as nasty?
In this context, I understand it to mean rude, mean-spirited, vulgar, attacking personally. Trump can be very nasty for example. Harris was very nasty to Kavanaugh.
