I think the biggest hurdle to something like that is the DNC actively stifling that type of candidate because they are somewhat risk adverse and unwilling to gamble on a volatile character. There is also a clear hierarchy and system where people "should pay their dues" to the party and that type of candidate is likely to be a lone wolf independent type

I was kinda thinking as I was posting that that it’s a bit ironic that the DNC is actually quite rigid and formulaic and yet they are touted as the more open/tolerant party.

We already have them. Look how these lunatics suck off any of these politicians. Whether they in office or not. fukk both sides in reality. People need to take back their power and let these clown asses do what they supposed to for the American people. They promise to do xyx and never live up to their words.

I don’t believe that’s what people are saying in this thread at all imo

this idealized left version of Trump is what again?

seems like total bs, just like the versions of Trump people are crafting in their heads

I don’t think people are saying they really want a racist, fascist, dementia ridden wannabe Cesar but come on what are we even talking about

I think they’re saying they want a progressive candidate who doesn’t give a shyt about being civil with their political enemies

What is a left version of Trump though? Trump was with the GOP but that was out of necessity, is there a such thing as a progressive authoritarian?

And as long as moderates control the Dem party, that's all you're getting.

There are 100% leftist authoritarians. Stalin, and Mao are some of the most popular examples. Anyone no matter their ideology can be authoritarian


I 100% feel like this thread is more of an attack on liberal civility in the face of fascism than anything else. Democrats have no back bone. People just want someone that will unapologetically fight for them. Liberals will never ever do that

Well because they allow people of color and homosexuals to join their party and be more than a token. The republicans as a party and a crew really don’t like us as Black People unless it’s solely advantageous to them or patronizing.

trump was an unabashed, loud-mouthed, fake tough-guy, racist moron. a "billionaire" celebrity with a god-complex who came from a gold-gilded palace in the sky and has a long history of screwing people over, literally, figuratively and legally. and we can go on and on.

so what would the 'left version' of trump even be? describe it. :jbhmm:

Is that said as a euphemism?

I ask because I rather clearly remember Trump calling for extrajudicial punishments of his political enemies, minorities, and the public at large…

maybe that’s what hl wants… very complicated stuff

I know personally that I don’t want to participate in a personality cult that seeks to operate outside of the law…
