I have to imagine it would be much harder to convince rank-and-file citizens that the incredibly large amount of money we spend on "defense" nationally would be reasonable to spend on "war".

This rebranding will absolutely undermine the US military-industrial complex.

People live in NYC because they want to be on the coolest cruise-ship in the world, with all the opportunity and excitement that entails.

People who live in the suburbs prefer to paddle their own canoe, and think about the Federal Gov't as fondly as they do their HOA.

It's really simple. National Dems are worried that embracing a "socialist" drives away all the mid-country purple-state voters.

Folks in small towns hate "big government", because they want to feel self-actuating. They don't want to think of themselves as being in the same boat as everyone else.

She DID.

Mamdani ran in an urban center where people have more in common. Rent isn't the same issue for folks in rural PA or MI as NYC.

It kills that Harris literally had a 1st home credit on her platform, and I heard folks say they voted for Trump because they couldn't afford their 1st house.

Rs want it both ways. They want to mock Democrats and excuse whatever Trump says about them. Senators laugh if you ask about Trump's AI posts - he's just trolling, lol!

They also want any crazy or offensive thing *Dems* say to be a horrifying violence-inspiring threat. Can't have both. (2/2)
