I like dean but am going to take a more pragmatic view on his first point. There's NO GUARANTEE that Trump won't win. Hilary tried and lost that with some of the most stupid campaign strategies ever and she's now head of Biden's re-election team. I'm Australian but went to college in America U. Illinois). So I know the Midwest and Rust Belt fairly well. The moment I heard she wasn't going to campaign in Michigan I knew she was in trouble because I knew the Rust Belt was not going to take that sort of arrogance well. I wasn't alone in thinking she was going to lose. Both Rana Foroohar and Mark Blyth predicted she'd lose but for different reasons. Rana Foroohar said it was her link to NAFTA and Mark Blyth because the Dems had just screwed so many of their BLUE states over time and time again. Not only did Hilary lose Michigan but also Ohio and Penn becoming the first Democrat since Dukakis in 1988 to lose all 3. Even Gore and Kerry won 2 of those 3. If you look at the EC votes if Hilary had won those 3 as Bill and Obama had she would have won. What NOBODY on America's Left has been willing to explain or even face up to was how Trump went from 63 million votes in 2016 to 74 million votes in 2020 when every poll for 2 years had said his base was shrinking. 1) The polling WAS WRONG and NOT by a little but by a staggering amount. An extra 11 million people turned out in 2020 to vote for this guy. Hate him all you like but he knows how to appeal to particular crowds. Jesse Ventura said he learned it from Pro-Wrestling. 2) Despite all the crap and craziness his people really do see him as someone who's going to save them from the career politicians who have made their lives miserable for the past 30+ years. They don't care at all about facts or evidence or how much BS he tells. His base hates the Washington Elite so much that they'd vote for a rapid dog if it would bite one of those elitist snobs. And yes I know Trump is actually one of those elitist snobs, but he knows how to sell his base a different story. EVERYONE FORGETS that before he beat Hilary Trump beat of 16 GOP favorite sons including Jeb Bush and he didn't just beat them he wiped the floor with them. America better wake up to itself and the Democrats need to take the coldest of cold showers and realise that those 74 million might turn out to be 85 million next year.

@eh3477 Hey we tried to warn the Brits what Murdoch was like when he moved there and they DIDN'T LISTEN. THEN we tried to warn the Americans when he moved there and they didn't listen either and even gave him citizenship. WTF do you want us to do, he's their problem now? They wanted him, they gave him citizenship and a passport. His own people keep screaming about "those people who come to America and screw things up!" Go tell Sean Hannity and Jesse Waters to deal with him. 😉😉🤔🤔

@johnwright9372 I just watched a really interesting documentary called "Unfit" (here on YT) about Trump. There's a really interesting passage with Anthony Scaramucci where he talks about WHY Trump won. What's weird is he's a typical Harvard educated capitalist and he said almost identical things to what I heard Richard Wolff who's a Marxian Economist say over 2 years ago. The only thing they have in common is they both went to Harvard. Wolff for his BA and Scaramucci to do Law. Yet their observation that the 2016 Trump supporters REALLY DID make an economic decision to REJECT Hilary and the Status Quo. Trump's base at THAT TIME (not now in 2024) had been smashed economically and they NEEDED change. That's why they rejected all those GOP goons and then rejected Hilary.
