Identity politics killed the democratic party. We need a moderate republican to fix things
Moderate Republicans have no traction right now. Joe Biden is the closest thing to a moderate with any shot atm...
The problem is that in the modern media era calm, steady personalities don't get elected. I loved John Kasich, and I really liked Amy Klobuchar - the Democratic John Kasich - as well. But they have all the personality of a slime mold colony. When politics was conducted primarily through the newspapers, you could get away with that. Not now. Everybody sees you too much. The very kind of steady, dependable person who could really bring calm and focus, and perhaps reduce the divisiveness of politics, can't get elected.
