Younger men threw their support behind Donald Trump in 2024 after favoring Biden in 2020
The United States is still not ready for a female president after more than a century of unsuccessful campaigns for the White House, according to former First Lady Michelle Obama.
“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama said earlier this month in a live conversation with actor Tracee Ellis Ross that was published Friday.
“That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying,” she said. “You’re not ready for a woman. You are not. So don’t waste my time.”
Mamdani won despite all that. The people are ready for an unbought president.
Mamdani won in quite possibly the most left wing office in the nation. Good for him, good for them, and I hope it spreads.
Maybe it does by 2027ish, that would be really cool. That would be a radically different political landscape and my strategic opinion would change.
But in general I find that it’s usually most accurate to assume things will roughly remain the same. So while I’m optimistic that the landscape might change, I would still prefer to focus my strategy on assuming that it doesn’t.
If the tides start turning with some volume, it’s easy to pivot. But I’d rather be overprepared than naïve.
Well I can mostly agree with the idea that things kind of stay the same regardless.
But I think that is over now. Because of the extreme situation that trump has caused, people will not be content just to go back to how it was a year ago.
A breaking point has occurred.
The kidnappings. The genocide. Healthcare. Food stamps. The economy. Tariffs. Cost of everything. Rent and housing costs being so high. Union busting.
The big corps got too greedy.
They could have kept us mostly happy and we wouldn’t have made much of a fuss.
They could have drained us slow. Like they have been. AnD we wouldn’t have made much fuss.
But now they have taken everything left. In one fell swoop. And people are pissed.
