The Democratic Party would be foolish to nominate AOC to be their presidential candidate.

Most people want food, healthcare, education, and housing but not to the extent of the left. It would require very high taxes to pay for them. A high minimum wage doesn't work. . California passed a $20.00/hr. minimum wage law for fast food workers. The result was that employers hired less workers.

The economy is always the top issue in any presidential election. Most Americans will not want a leftist economic policy. It will certainly mean high taxes in order to pay for all the social programs.

Republicans in the House rejected the bipartisan immigration bill at the urging of Trump, but Biden was told by Republicans that he could stop illegal migrants using executive order, but Biden refused.

No, Trump won because his opposition was senile Biden who took too long to drop out. Hitler came to power because the democratic Weimar Republic could not control inflation, something which Biden also couldn't do. Hitler like Trump is a great speaker.

If Democrats want to win, they have to move further right. Jason Crow would make a better Democratic candidate than AOC. Not only because of his moderate views but because he was an US Army Ranger. In contrast, AOC was never in the US military. If she is the Democratic Presidential candidate, she would be running against J.D. Vance who was in the US Marines.

Are you saying that only certain views are allowed on lemmy.ml? How would you learn anything if everyone in the group thinks the same? The psychological term is called groupthink and leads to poor decision making.

No, if Americans are abandoning the center, Trump's popularity would be soaring. Democrats should move to the right not far right. Merz of Germany adopted tough immigration views, but they were not as extreme as that of the AFD.

Biden later began to realize that Americans did not want a flood of migrants, but the damage had been done. Of course, if more illegal migrants are allowed in more would be deported.

No, Democrats has to attract voters with a centrist view because these are the largest block. Note that in Germany and Romania the centrist candidate won. Most people do not have extremist views.

Trump's threats of tariffs appealed to Americans to thought that jobs are going overseas. The Democratic policy should be to restrict tariffs to protecting strategic industries and in response to countries which put tariffs on American products.

Why do you think the Democratic Party is unpopular?
