So refreshing if she wins and that country goes back to the old status quo of center right vs far right, but none from far far far right with dictator wet dreams.

No sarcasm, I'm just tired of orange man politics in my country news and lemmy feed. After hearing the same old jokes 100x they wear out.

i think democratic voters are no longer satisfied with the old center right party. not only has the left gained some legitimacy among the public (at least compared to before which was nonexistent), the party has been very slowly moving in that direction as well.

to biden's credit, i would never think it was possible in the US to do what he did for unions, but he opened the door. and now the democrats are running on labor rights. the first solo appearance walz did was at a union. that is a massive shift to the left compared to just a decade ago.

it really is exciting. I'd say I'm on the edge of my seat but i wouldn't want to give Vance any ideas.
