    American politics is only about slinging as much mud at your opponent as possible and painting the grimmest doomsday picture as possible about everything.

    Actually having a vision and a dream doesn’t work, unfortunately.

      It does work, you just have to have someone with charisma to pull it off. Obama has charisma. Trump has charisma. LBJ had charisma. FDR had charisma.

      Biden has read the definition of charisma in a dictionary published in 1986.

      MAGA has proven that isn’t true. Granted their vision and dream is horrible but it works. Establishment Democrats are losing to Trump because providing a vision and dream in the other direction would be against the interests of their corporate donors.

        Maga’s vision and dream is doomsday. They just keep saying how things will burn if they don’t get the power. It’s never anything positive.

          You completely sailed over the point where establishment Democrats are losing to this because they won’t work against their corporate donors and moderates won’t hold them accountable.

          Nothing will change until that is addressed.
