join what?
@Deleted User yeah, he is
Give me a rep point
What are you goys talking about
Oh
Yeah, the Democratic and Republican parties had conservative and liberal wings
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
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He was a New Deal Democrat in a time where that was outdated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
