    I don’t think running another center right candidate like we have since FDR will work. There’s way more evidence that Americans want far left policies. Problem is that Americans are soooooooo politically uneducated it’s scary

      Not according to the election results.

      Doesn’t this increase the chances of a leftist losing?

        Not according to election results?!

        When choices are far right and center right, center left and far left voters just stay home.

        And no. Educated people vote left at a much higher rate!

          So you’re saying that Trump is in office because leftists stayed home instead of voting?

          And no. Educated people vote left at a much higher rate!

          You said Americans are sooo uneducated.

          Meaning they won’t vote left.

            No I’m saying just because you have coke and diet coke as options doesn’t mean you have to drink one. Even more so when you can see water is an option but for some reason everyone demands you must drink diet coke because coke is less healthy.

            I didn’t say uneducated. I said politically uneducated Americans (mostly center right and far right) think American tax money going to improve America is somehow communist. They think the government doing anything is an encroachment on freedoms. (while simultaneously deciding what other individuals can and cannot do to their own body)
