It’s just not as motivating as inflation.

Yeah that’s a better way to word it. I think “motivating” really describes it better

I agree but I still don’t think it’ll be enough on a national scale. It’s been working in cities, but I think Vance or Rubio are still the shoe ins for 2028 no matter who runs against them since every opposition is way too Trump-centric right now, so once he’s out of office, even more people will vote red since the never Trump people will no longer have Trump on the ballot to worry about

Then again, it could also be the opposite because some people voted for Trump just because he’s Trump. I think there’s a lot more people who didn’t vote for him because he’s Trump than the other way around though

That’s just my personal prediction. I also thought Kamala never had a chance at winning and got endlessly mocked for it, so I’m going to hold strong to this prediction too

True, I should’ve reworded it to say that I don’t think it impacts elections during the presidential election cycle years specifically. Also I think that was more so due to the political climate at the time since the Republican Party was in a weakened state following the pandemic, but when there’s not a pandemic they are much stronger. The main reason the democrats had influence during those years was simply because they did not have any competent competition

Without unique circumstances like the pandemic, the current version of the Democratic Party will not be winning the presidential seat any time soon

I think a good comparison is chess. The Democratic Party is good at latching on to things that give an immediate advantage and bring in a lot of media attention, ie. “One movers” in chess that immediately create a point advantage. However, the GOP is much better and building a foundation over time that they can use during presidential elections, like openings in chess. That’s why they’re currently more effective without having to be as flashy or latch onto attention from headlines as much

TLDR, the Democratic Party is good at utilizing sensationalism, but the GOP makes sure that they are the sensation itself

Btw when I say Democratic Party, I don’t include left leaning independents or everyone on the left side of the American political compass. I actually think that someone outside of the Democratic Party could become a better national candidate to oppose the GOP given the fight circumstances
