First-past-the-post voting incentivizes voting against the candidate you don’t want to win by voting for the candidate most likely to beat him. So scaremongering about the other candidate is a strategy often used to great effect. Trump used scaremongering against Hillary in 2016. Trump’s using scaremongering against Biden now. George H.W. Bush famously used scaremongering about crime to win.
Also their platforms are not the same. Trump has Project 2025.
And then you go on to cite the 2016 election.
Are you doing a bit? Do you not recall the pied-piper strategy the Dems tried? You keep referring to “successful” examples, but they’re all republicans lol.
I thought you were the one who said the Democratic and Republican platforms are the same. Now you’re noticing that the examples of winning with scaremongering are all Republican wins. Are you doing a bit?
??? Their platforms are the same, but the republicans actually want the platform enacted. Saying “vote for me or you’ll get the republican” doesn’t work when you have the same policy. Saying “vote for me or you’ll get the democrat” works for the republican, because republican voters think democrats are demons wearing skin suits.
What is it with you people and pretending you don’t understand basic textual communication? Do you think your sad attempts at gotchas aren’t noticed? Go back to Reddit and argue with a bot
The fascist are always going to have been scary rhing that make liberals fascism more palletable and swallowable, even if its in someways worse than the big scary republican bs. Lets just fuck off that whole thing completely
And the democrat platform is to let Republicans install planks of Project 2025 while Democrats have the ball; so fuck that line of thought too lmao. You’re not cudgeling this out for your genocidal dixiecrat.
