[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think most Americans are MAGA.  But I definitely think most Americans don’t want what the Democrats are selling.  They need to move way, way more center and drop the “progressive” agenda to win again. [/quote]

I agree that the Democrats should move more center but, building on your point, Americans don't want want the GOP/MAGA is selling either. They need to move more center as well. The Democrats will win in 2026 and 2028 as the political pendulum naturally swings.[/quote]

The center doesn’t necessarily mean status quo, incremental change at the margins though. It actually might mean bold proposals that make life better for people in the center of the bell curve. [/quote]

But the democrat way to “make life better” is to increase things the government provides. Free this, free that, etc. I think most people don’t want to see a bunch of social programs ran by the government (at the expense of those that pay taxes).  [/quote]

The function of government is to provide services and programs that individuals can’t provide on their own.  I’m happy to pay taxes so we can have national parks and accurate weather forecasting.  The majority of Americans like Social Security and Medicare.  Do you want the full burden of caring for your elderly parents for 20+ years?[/quote]

I have a crazy idea.

I know that it seems nuts, but what if we tax all of the hyper rich in an appropriate manner?  We could tax wealth and income at a much higher rate and still probably be way lower than most 1st world countries, then use that money to benefit Americans.[/quote]

If you did that, the hyper rich would pack up and leave and take their job-creating businesses with them. Jeez….having to read how Libs think about economics is painful and sad. [/quote]

Put down the Ayn Rand and pick up an economics textbook.  The real job creators in this country are consumers.  Job creation still hasn’t returned to the level of the early Carter years, despite forty years of tax cuts and the hyper-rich accumulating enormous amounts of wealth and economic power. They haven’t invested their capital in a way that validates this narrative.

As Gordon Gekko said, “I create nothing. I own.”[/quote]
The real creators are Latino immigrants. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIJ03jXoNRc/?igsh=MWFzM2hrdmk0OW1j[/quote]
