Was reading about this somewhere too. Even the democrat voters don't want him running again, but unfortunately seem ready to vote for him in a general anyway

Well given that the other option is looking to be Trump.

The democrats do want a competent leader. But more than that they don't want Trump.

I think theyd still vote for Biden if the other guy was DeSantis.

Frankly I think politics is so hyperpartisan, that they will vote for anyone their team puts out over anyone the other team puts out. The elections are won by getting the independents on your side, I think the partisans votes are basically in stone for their party and nobody crosses sides in a general, they vote for whoever won their primary, period

Yeah they treat it like a sports game. The more points my side gets we win.

2016 was bizzare fun. I saw republicans go from utterly anti-trump because he was crass and not a true christian, to those same people saying he's god's chosen candidate after he won the general and will tolerate no wrong think against him, even the blandest most tame shit. "Oh I think Trumps foreign policy approach towards North Korea is a bad idea and won't work in the long term" then get hell from the same person who less than a year before was vocally dissing trump for daring to parrot democratic talking points?

We've seen a shift in the way the narrative works around war now. The anti us imperialist anti war position was a democratic position in the early 2000's when they weren't the majority. Now that they are the majority, they are the pro us imperialist war position and the republicans are playing at the populist "war is bad" positions they were against merely a decade earlier.

Classic hate week. We've always been at war with Eastasia.

I don't know about that - you have to remember the boomers are still there in significant numbers and are functionally centrist, and lib boomers are getting pretty freaked out by the direction of the party. I could easily see the Reagan Dems come back out and vote cross-party for anyone resembling a moderate, non-ancient serious politician.

Good point, I think you are probably right. The voters, especially the boomers would probably support candidates like this. The DNC/RNC I guess are the ones to blame for not promoting these kinds of candidates and catering to the extreme elements in their parties instead
