Interesting comparison. Fast forward to November and I am still undecided about who to vote for and who can best address the mess that the US is in. Can the FP perhaps do some interviews with prominent moderate politicians about why nobody is stepping up as a formidable opponent to challenge Trump and Biden? It seems like the elephant in…
Interesting comparison. Fast forward to November and I am still undecided about who to vote for and who can best address the mess that the US is in. Can the FP perhaps do some interviews with prominent moderate politicians about why nobody is stepping up as a formidable opponent to challenge Trump and Biden? It seems like the elephant in the room. Where are the gutsy Liz Cheneys and John Fettermans? I wish some of these folks would have the courage to leave their party (Fetterman) and run as an independent on a joint ticket. That would be real unity.
Funny you should mention that, as it reflects another recent U.S. parallel to the Iron Curtain.
No Labels tried to do precisely that: field a split ticket if the parties ignored the 70% of Americans who did not want this rematch. (which of course the parties did, so you can check off another parallel)
The Blue Team threatened, bullied, and lawfared them off the ballot, in a way that would have made the Stasi blush.
RFK Jr and Dean Phillips got essentially the same treatment, as the party canceled primaries, juggled primary schedules, and did everything humanly possible to thwart any little D democratic challenge to their power.
The message to potential third party challengers could not have been clearer: if you run, we will destroy you and your families. And they meant it.

John Fetterman looks better than the Dynamic Duo! Never thought that I would say that.
