I dont really want to nationalize anything for the next Trump to be in charge of

If a candidate said:
There should be no utilities monoplies by for profit companies
Fucking 99.99% of voters would listen to anything else they had to say.
There’s so many things that need fixed that everyone agrees on, we just haven’t had a candidate free of corporate influence.
But the next Dem primary is a better shot than we’ve ever had. We just need to make sure as many people as possible vote in the primary.

So leave it with the oligarchs who are actively brining trump to make it worse?
What the fuck kind of learned helplessness is this?
Yeah they beat and starve us, but if we stop them from doing it someone might show up and if we let them they’d beat and starve us to!!!
Like, fucking newsflash man:
This is a continual fight, and boomers acting like it wasn’t is why shit is like it is today. No matter what happens this fight never stops

There are in fact othet options besides oligrarchs/capitalists and the state.
A lot of the electrical grid is actually cooperativly owned. A majority of coverage actually.

Sure, if you care about miles of wire and not customers, it sounds huge…
But anyone who hears that should be able to quickly figure out why it’s not relevant

Yeah, they’re really not taking into consideration how effective the propaganda has been over the past 10 years or so. It’s frightening that you literally cannot convince people with facts and logic at this point, and it truly feels unwinnable.

Huh?
A big reason trump got so many votes is he lied about draining the swamp and his voters are dumb enough to believe him.
They can be dumb and believe someone who means it when they say it.
Like, you’re making a valid point, then reaching the literal opposite conclusion that logic should take us too
We can’t afford to be that shortsighted, think stuff thru.

hmmm Trump is most deeply unpopular for doing the things he said he’d do… forced deportations, ICE, etc
The entire Project 2025 was out and morons still voted the pedo in…
I’m sorry but there may be smart Americans out there but, and a population, Americans are basically a blob of idiotic sociopaths

You’re missing the point…
Even with the dumbest audience possible, if two people are trying to convince the audience a charismatic liar can win if their opponent is also lying or has no charisma.
But no matter how charismatic or how good of a liar. It’s really fucking hard to beat someone with average charisma who doesn’t need to lie about wanting to help people
Look at Mamdani, I love the guy.
But people act like he’s drilling charisma just because he’s compared to Eric Adams.
He’s not that charismatic, watch his interviews with Mero, he’s a nerd from the Bronx.
It’s just an honest person that wants to help doesn’t need a lot of charisma, cuz they’re not selling lies
The day Mamdani won the primary, the current chair of the DNC came out saying all this too, and saying that’s what we need as a dem.presidential candidate in 2028.
