minus-squareTinidril@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·6 days agoThat’s an impressive writeup. Here is the problem. This is 2024, not 1992. Clinton’s strategy has not aged well. 2008 - Hillary and McCain both ran a centrist strategy and lost to Obama who ran as a disruptor. Obama gets a mandate. 2010 - Democrats lose Congress and the mandate on a centrist strategy. 2012 - Obama almost loses to Mit Romney with both running centrist strategies. 2016 - Hillary loses on a centrist strategy against Trump who is clearly not a centrist. 2020 - Biden barely moves towards a disruptor position and barely beats Trump who should have been easily beatable. 2024 - Need I say it?
