Yeah the political landscape was different back then

Nixon was a centrist

up against an extremist (McGovern)

There were many democrats who would be willing to vote for Nixon

Same as Reagan. There's a reason "Reagan Democrat" is a phrase

Mondale was campaigning like it was 1964,not 1984

He was a New Deal Democrat in a time where that was outdated

And he was not nearly as charismatic

In contrast, these days conservatives are concentrated in the Republican Party and liberals are concentrated in the Democratic Party

Which means that Democrats won't win places like Wyoming or Alabama

last time democrats won Wyoming was 1964

cause of Goldwater

And Republicans won't win places like Massachusetts. There aren't really "Reagan Democrats" these days and the Democratic party is still a good fit for the whites in Massachusetts

Also, fun fact. A huge reason why Massachusetts went red in 1984 was because of desegregation busing

Desegregation busing: busing white kids to black schools

Even lots of white liberals hated the idea of their kids having to go through that

If the Democratic Party pushes a similar policy, the same kind of thing could happen

Depends on where you live

If you live in New York and Vermont ... Might as well push for the craziest far left wingers to be the Democratic candidates

so that in the best case scenario, a centrist Republican wins

If you live in a place like Alabama or Wyoming, vote for the most far right candidate

Oh yeah, that's also a factor

If a Democratic candidate is weaker and the Republican primary has only one candidate, vote for the weaker democratic candidate

There are Democrats in Virginia who voted for Corey Stewart because there's no point voting for Kaine, and they thought Freitas would be harder to beat

in what way would you actually work with shia muslims?

doesn't make sense

many shias are those who are even more radical, in contrast to how lots of sunnis end up being whitewashed when they live here

@Earl of Morrrrgantown you're deafened

we've never had any full autists

there are some with a few symptoms here and there

like Coolidge

Theodore Roosevelt had some quirks

Richard Nixon had quite a few traits

Bill Clinton isn't autistic, but I bet my ass he's a sociopath

like Lyndon Johnson
