This poll is pretty pointless, as far as actually getting to know who people specifically want. The top runner this far out is pretty much always the last person to have run, because the political climate hadn't changed that much and nobody has campaigned for the next nomination yet.
The important takeaway is that AOC, and presumably progressivism more generally, is getting more popular.
Well they could've arrested the bastard in January 2021 instead of waiting a couple years to even start considering legal consequences. 5 minutes after the inauguration Trump should've had a black bag over his head. No excuses for their inaction.
The Democrats aren't the party perpetrating this evil, but they've done everything in their power to enable it, thus they share responsibility.
Its like Nixon, Watergate was one of the less egregious things he did, but it was a faux pas against the political order. The Republicans are fully on-board with the wholesale dismantling and privatization of the bureaucratic state, but they're not ok with making the intelligence mechanisms weaker.
Invest in your community, talk to your neighbor, collectively stockpile shelf-stable staples like rice and beans in-bulk. No working-class Americans survived the Great Depression because their stock portfolio was clever, they survived on bare necessities and strong communities.
The North-South divide transformed into a rural-urban divide over the course of the 20th century, especially following the Civil Rights & Voting Rights Acts of 1964, and the subsequent Southern Strategy employed by the Nixon (and subsequent Republican) campaigns. The strategy appealed to southern whites, as well as whites in suburbia and rural communities, which a lot of the Midwest and heartland states are. On top of that, add-on the collapse of Midwestern industry, with the capitol flight being blamed on Democrat policy, and you get a severe cultural shift towards neo-Confederate sympathy.
Edit: I could've added a bunch more about the media industry, especially Fox and right-wing talk radio, but I can only waste time in the bathroom at work for so long before the boss notices.
Edit 2: fuck shit fuck also the Democrats sucked ass for a long time and culturally associated themselves with cultured, cosmopolitan urbanites, dropping the old-school working class blue-dog persona they had during the New Deal.
He's a fascist, and is disgusted by European Social Democracy. This is why they're aligning the US with Russia, because they're a fellow fascist oligarchy.
There's a lot of people who didn't follow his twitter shenanigans closely, and only knew him as the "Tesla electric car guy," but since the election he's been in the spotlight.
It's most certainly not effective, it was something I wrote in anger. Calling for the death of anyone is generally not advisable, and I usually don't, but reading this made my blood boil more than normal.
Same, and the only proof of a loving god I've ever seen is that we have been given a world of cute, pettable animals who love being petted. Some gardenPetting Zoo of Eden type shit.
Right-wing media capture is a significant contributor, plus many of these people have been supporting him for so long that it's like a frog in boiling water. That said, as more and more if this shit starts effecting them personally, they've been loosing faith in their Omnisiah God-King.
