[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully none of those mentioned. We need moderates, it’s a landslide if you put up a moderate.[/quote]

Harris wasn’t a moderate? [/quote]

Not really no. She was tethered to Biden and his agenda and couldn’t distance herself from it, maybe she didn’t want too but most likely didn’t have the time to. There needs to be some fiscal conservatism, a recognition of realized tax burden, redefining middle class and wealthiest 1% to reflect todays prices and incomes and adjusting taxes accordingly, brining back tax benefits/capping interest and offering civil service to address student loans rather than forgiveness, incentives education in medical careers (nursing, doctors, techs etc. similar to military service) and reform healthcare (eliminate the middle man and standardize pricing) do away with special interest in politics, not allowing DEI and other “hot” topics to take center stage and distract from real issues. Take a firm stance on immigration, it doesn’t have to be tyrannical but show some fortitude in forcing people to adhere to our immigration laws. No one wants what we have now but they also don’t AOC and the thought of a socialist government.[/quote]
Biden was a moderate.  So was Harris.  They were doing everything on your list (Biden was admittedly late to find the right balance on immigration).  I have no idea what kind of “DEI” policies scared you so but they were never center stage for either.   [/quote]

Biden was uninspired and a “just not Trump” vote. He was never able to control the narrative and was unable to adapt to the candidate he was running against. While his administration did great things their narrative was mute (seemingly only talking about DEI issues or federal handouts)  controlled by the far right. Always on the defensive never on the offensive. He brought cookies and milk to knife fight. In hindsight things are much clearer and I can understand the hesitation at the time but 1/6 should have lead to treason charges. Sometimes the only way to stop a bully is to punch him the face.[/quote]

Yes, any positive legacy Biden could have had went down the drain when he created an easy path for Trump to a second term. Electing 1st term POTUSs who aren't going to be viable as incumbents four years down the road is a losing strategy.[/quote]
