    I mean it definitely couldn’t just be people don’t want massive changes and want a dude in the center keeping most of the status quo.

      A centrist who has a long history of cooperation with politicians on both sides of the aisle is going to be a far more effective president than an ideologue who embodies the feelings of angry lemmy users.

      Besides, realistically, big change for the country shouldn’t be coming from the top down starting from the president. It should start locally and move up. All of these people complaining that AOC or Bernie would be some sort of political Jesus who would revolutionize the US if only the corrupt, evil DNC would pick them are completely out of touch with reality.
