I have a feeling he won’t be mayor again either.

That was yesterday.

If it were, Trump would have been behind bars years ago.

If they are traitors and terrorists, he may have to send them to Guantanamo.

There would be 2 fewer extreme MAGA judges in supreme court.
The same level of MAGA corruption and disinformation would not have been possible.
January 6 would never have happened.
Trump would not have the same legitimacy and platform to constantly scream his MAGA hate message.
Trump would likely have been judged much sooner for the crimes that were revealed during his first campaign. So he might actually have been in prison by now.
The widespread MAGA treasonous behavior to favor Putin and Russia and undermine USA would probably not be a thing.

So since Trump has been THEE major driver of extremism and treason in USA for the past 8 years, I’d say no. USA would not be nearly as divided as it is now.

People who follow infowars are already radicalized, and will say any moderate is polarizing. They want a Fuhrer, they want to exterminate LGBT and colored people. Their opinion is irrelevant, because there is no talking sense to those people. Just see how the MAGA people threw a fit, because their house leader “compromised” after 8 months of negotiating, and getting everything they asked for!!!
They are beyond reach, and they are the ones polarizing, not rational sensible people like AOC, that actually tries to make life better for most people.

If not only wanting to do things for the rich, the white and Christians, makes you polarizing, then a polarizing candidate is the only reasonable option.

You can have it, if enough people fight for it. Now the president can practically do it all by himself.

That doesn’t really make her polarizing, that’s just the right wing media treating her unfairly, as they do with every progressive Democrat, except a bit more, because she is popular.

because she’s too polarizing.

She shares a lot of views with Bernie Sanders, and Berni would almost surely have defeated Trump where Hillary failed.
As I see it, she is not nearly as polarizing as Trump. The only ones strongly against her, are probably extreme Christians and Nazis.

I didn’t post there earlier, only commented, Maybe the reason my post is the only one that isn’t jimmydoreisalefty, is that it hasn’t been deleted yet?
Previously I commented on this post: https://lemmy.world/post/16567090

Oh boy just looking at that picture, and then think how Mueller let that piece of shit traitor Flynn walk. That investigation was drawn out, and in the end he had done almost nothing of substance, and Mueller followed every single “direction” from the white house.
Try to compare that to how Bill Clinton was investigated and hung out for something of little relevance, not illegal, and besides the mandated investigation!
Republicans are so fucking corrupt! Including Mueller.

including you

I’m not American. But yes in a way we have collective responsibility as a people for the politicians we elect, and what we allow in our society.

Maybe. But Biden still has time for it to not be so cool for Trump.

I just posted the OP story there. I commented there once calling her a Russian puppet, and linked a story about it, which they called biased, despite everything was documented including pictures of lunch with Putin, and of course it was removed.

OK I can see your point. I suppose I stand corrected.

I was never was and never will be a Trump supporter, or even Republican so you see wrong.
But I can see from your comment that you are one to jump to conclusions without reason, so “Not someone I’d listen about anything”.

at which point 3 people’s views were ignored

They are still part of a body of 9.

Unless you think similarly in presidential elections.

When a majority elects a representative, it’s called the will of the people. So yes it is perfectly normal to consider the group collectively.

It’s similar to saying a team played badly, because collectively they did, even if a couple of players didn’t.

So you can say 6 or 9 both are correct, meaning the “correction” was unnecessary.

Yep, they are confusing the issue on purpose, because the goal is to draw out time, to try to get Trump elected.
