It'll get me a world where I'm not actively hunted down for my sexuality or skin color, so that would be nice.

Will they win though? Kamala cemented it in my head that Democrats appealing to centrists and old-school Republicans isn't effective strategy.

Yeah, so long as you win every election forever, while running increasingly unappealing candidates. Which is the strategy you tried, and it failed.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's not the strategy I tried.

Then what is?

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The right strategy is fighting fire with fire - bombarding the internet with propaganda. It doesn't take billions of dollars to do it.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Care to elaborate?

What you said in the last comment is contradictory to what you said in earlier comments.
