There’s a blue leftist movement (Bernie Politics), a blue liberal movement (Obama Politics), and then there’s Red Trump MAGA…
A lot of people in that leftist crowd don’t think Biden cares about them or that the current generation of Democrats can get anything done but they sure don’t want Trump. A lot of people in the center (including independents) don’t get the message about Biden’s accomplishments, including the Obama politics crowd (and a large part of that is folks just don’t want to have conversations like this, and the conservative media machine is very good at pushing nonsense about how Biden is ineffective).
I would add that polls don’t mean shit that far away from the vote. People can still be angry for some good reasons, and manage to do best thing to do on D-day. I still remember when polls were saying that nobody would vote for Trump.
Hi, Im one of those people who jumps in to say “vote for democrats, because they are definitely crappy but they are significantly less crappy and dangerous for everyone not a straight white wealthy (male) christian.”
I agree with you that America does desperately need a truly progressive alternative. But the problem is FPTP exists. Until it is gone, voters are screwed.
I will stop posting these kinds of responses to your posts however, if you think people being alarmed about republicans and wanting to stop them is “blue maga”.
Well, if MAGA means Make America Great Again, I can confirm that anything not Red would indeed make America better again. I mean, did you see the fucking shitshow that is the GOP right now? Not wanting to kill women in birth and kids in school shootings should be more than enough, don’t you think?
Look, this is politics and all, but blatant false equivalencies in a world of disinformation is dangerous, unenlightening, and unproductive. I’ll leave it for now, but try to be more thoughtful in the future.

There really isn’t a blue MAGA.
