Rigged again.
No doubt. MAGA must and will win.
"criminal indictments for doing the same stuff Democrats did"? When did Democrats storm the Capitol, injure police and vandalize the place? When did Democrats try to install false state electors?
Meanwhile, "stop trying to reach centrists" seems like quite the winning political strategy for the future, doesn't it?
There aren't any centrists.
Not right in the center, but people who are towards the center. This is where most people reside, IMO, including me (though I am somewhat to the left).
People say that but when you actually look at the issues it's not really true.
I used to be a fiscal conservative and a social liberal but the GOP isn't fiscally conservative at all.
From what I can see there are two political parties right now:
Anti-government religious gun nuts
and
Democrats
That's why I claim there is no real center. You are either hard right or you are a normal person.
So if Democrats are normal people, then answer me this. Why is Joe Biden the second most unpopular president of all time? Yes, more unpopular than Trump ever was.

People are unhappy with the state of the country. Biden is getting the blame for that. It's not really clear what he can do about it as most of why things are screwed up have to do with:
1. COVID-19
2. High inflation and interest rates
3. Unpopular Supreme Court rulings
4. Dysfunctional Congress
I think that most people wish Biden was younger or at least more charismatic. He wasn't a great candidate in that regard and he would not have been my first choice.
That said, what do people want Biden to do differently? Biden, like Carter, is mostly a victim of circumstance.
If the dumbass GOP leadership doesn't get its head out of its ass, it will Biden vs Trump again, and it doesn't matter how bad the economy may be or how old Biden appears.
Trump is the most hated politician ever, the biggest criminal politician ever, the most psychologically deranged. He ain't getting elected!
Speaking of bad economics… I'm over here in Spain as you know, Andalucia, and unemployment is over 20% in this region, where I have friends for 40+ years. My friend works for the local ayuntamiento and makes 19k euros per year.
So when Trump goes on TV and says
"the US has the worst economy" (as in 2016, or now) even though it was "The Best" from 2017 to 20,
I just want to punch him in the face and tell him to Shut The F#^% Up!!"
Lying sack of Caca!(Queue dumbass response from the likely suspect with a Twitter snagged misinformation meme)
