What Is the Democrat Alternative to Trump?

What Is the Democrat Alternative to Trump?
Democrats rage at Trump’s every move but offer no real alternative—only fury, obstruction, and failed policies voters have already rejected.
By Victor Davis Hanson
The Pavlovian Left goes berserk at the mere prospect of each new Trump initiative.
Its escalating reactive venom and hysteria are calibrated to the success of Trump’s latest policy.
Yet the new hard-left Democratic Party offers no counter-agenda to explain its furor.
Still less do Democrats attempt bipartisan efforts to craft shared legislation.
Take foreign policy.
Democrat senators trashed the recent Trump-Putin Alaskan summit as a failure. Then they became depressed when, just days later, an entourage of European leaders and President Zelensky of Ukraine suddenly flew to the White House.
The Euros praised Trump for offering some sort of negotiated pathway to peace after over three years of war and some 1.5 million dead, wounded, missing, and captured on both sides—on Europe’s doorstep.
So why did Democrats object to such negotiations by Trump?
Was the reason that no such thing occurred during the Biden administration, when Putin invaded Ukraine, after his earlier invasions during the Obama era?
What is the left’s alternate plan? The old Biden idea of supplying Ukraine with enough money and arms to keep fighting and dying, but with no path to either victory or a negotiated peace?
Would they prefer a fourth, fifth, or sixth year of war, or an additional one million casualties?

What are you guys gonna do when Trump starts bombing the Russians in Ukraine?

The problem is that they don't have one. They're floundering.

Newsome, if you notice he’s exactly what the Dems think Trump is. It’s all fake but his act is the lefts interpretation of what a Democrat Trump would be.

Remember, both Kamalamadingdong and Dementia Joe made Putin shite in his pants by firmly telling him, “Don't.”
THAT is far greater than anything Trump could ever accomplish! True statesmanship!

Democrats stand for nothing.
Ergo, their version of “Trump” will inevitably be a loud mouthed minority woman like Crockoshit

It's still all about the way people are feeling about the economy.
90-whatever percent are voters aren't hardcore political watchers like the people on this board and aren't emotionally invested in politics like the people on this board.
Presidents don't have a magic wand that can fix inflation, and inflation will still feel like a pain in the arse to voters in 2028. AGI job displacement will be revved up by November 2028.
By that time people will be looking for a political savior, just like so many people who had reservations about voting for Trump still voted for Trump in 2024 because cost of living was better when he was president the first time.
When people don't feel good about the economy, they vote for change. It's irrational, but that's the way it works. MAGA won't be change and it will be more of the same.
In other words, whether it's rational or not, anyone who thinks that Gavin Newsom won't be a very viable candidate in 2028 is either in denial or way too far trapped in their political bubble.

The same thing we'll do when climate change ends the earth.

Care to take a ban bet on that happening?
Come on, stand by your propaganda and talking points pinhead.

Newsome is laying the foundation for a future campaign. His mocking Trump and ICE's allegedly shadowing him will get over with his base. If he can connect with moderates, then he has a chance.

He has the best chance of any democrat but I don’t see anyone beating Vance

I underestimated Vance. Viewed him as a yes man, but he has shown himself to be a strong personality that will appeal to Trump supporters.

Which is why they just repeat the same predictable message in all the fundraising emails:
a. Trump is for the billionaires.
b. Trump is destroying democracy.

I’ve never once said that. If anything I’ve said the opposite.

By every historical metric Trump is a Democrat. Thats how far left the country has moved.
