Senate Democrats square off with each other in ‘spicy primaries’ - Lemmy.World

The ideal Senate Democrat should have centrist views, young, a military veteran, articulate, and a family man. Prince Harry would be an example if he were a US citizen and had centrist views.
Got to say, you lost me at centrist. Why?
Most people do not have extreme left or right views. In Germany, Merz with his centrist views beat the rising far right AfD party.

Maybe, but a centrist will not actually address the underlying issues that make actors like AfD, and the Trump-wing of the Republican party, get bigger and bigger.

To put it differently: a Bill Clinton-type might manage to get elected and be popular, but he wouldn’t do anything to keep inequality from rising even more.

Incorrect. Merz adopted a stricter stance on immigration but not as harsh as the AfD party. Likewise, a centrist Democrat could be tough on border security but give migrants already here a path to citizenship. Inequality can never be completely eliminated because people aren’t equal in talent.

This has no bearing on what I said, I’ll repeat myself:

Nobody is talking about completely eliminating inequality
