Opinion | Hillary Clinton’s 2024 Election Comeback
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have become unpopular. It may be time for a change candidate.www.wsj.com
Apparently Hillary is the change candidate. At least she wont sleep thru the presidency i guess.
"A perfect storm in the Democratic Party is making a once-unfathomable scenario plausible: a political comeback for Hillary Clinton in 2024.
Several circumstances—President Biden’s low approval rating, doubts over his capacity to run for re-election, Vice President Kamala Harris’s unpopularity, and the absence of another strong Democrat to lead the ticket in 2024—have created a leadership vacuum in the party, which Mrs. Clinton viably could fill."
If the left want their mojo back as the thread title suggests, they need to listen to Kyle and Marianne Williamson who was on FOX news.
Perhaps Marianne Williamson should be the democrats next candidate. I'm sure the powers to be who control the democrats and the republicans, will never allow her to get far though.

After the disasters of populists globally (Trump, BoJo, Bolsonaro) there will be a short term swing away from them.Portugal's Socialist Party just won re-election. In fact, they're the first party to form a majority government in Portugal since 2005. Have the left got their mojo back yet?
I'd like to believe that, I really would, but I can't.After the next cycle there may well be a more 'sensible' wave of right-wing leadership that probably mirrors some of the more centre-right leaders of the 90s
universal healthcare, free college, slavery reparations, the green new deal and open borders.
There is polarization though, the far right party got the biggest swing in the election, although small in absolute numbers (from 1 to 12 seats), it wasn't insignificant.Portugal's Socialist Party just won re-election.

One other note, it was the far left parties that got obliterated, which indicates a move rightwards to some degree or at least a moderation towards the center.There is polarization though, the far right party got the biggest swing in the election, although small in absolute numbers (from 1 to 12 seats), it wasn't insignificant.
I'm happy for the far right to carve out their share of the electorate, provided the left wins government.There is polarization though, the far right party got the biggest swing in the election, although small in absolute numbers (from 1 to 12 seats), it wasn't insignificant.
'sensible' wave of right-wing leadership
There's certainly a bit of hope on my part in that statement.Ummm...........
There's certainly a bit of hope on my part in that statement.
I can't see how the deification of ignorance (beginning with Dubya, and continuing through the Palin/Trump/BoJo years) is sustainable in the long term.
It depends. Were the leaders the cause of their parties losing the plot, or did the parties choose their leaders because they'd lost the plot?After the disasters of populists globally (Trump, BoJo, Bolsonaro) there will be a short term swing away from them.

Given the current political divide I think the country will balkanise into Republican and Democrat dominates states, causing a devolution back to strong individual state identities with local power structures that have little Federal influence which looks more like pre-federation (or a federation that was originally setup up but devolved into the centralised mess they have now).I do not think American republicanism can go back to what it was.
I genuinely think they are a few bad leaders in the wrong place at the right time away from a full blown civil war.Given the current political divide I think the country will balkanise into Republican and Democrat dominates states, causing a devolution back to strong individual state identities with local power structures that have little Federal influence which looks more like pre-federation (or a federation that was originally setup up but devolved into the centralised mess they have now).
WA have been in succession limbo for decades, the state parochialism is quite evident (I am a native btw). The hard borders have entrenched many further into that mentality.I genuinely think they are a few bad leaders in the wrong place at the right time away from a full blown civil war.
But then, I think we were a bad month away from the dissolution of the Australian federation a good 12-18 months ago (think, when Morrison and co were agitating for McGowan to open the borders, with Clive Palmer trying to force it legally. Things go differently - McGowan says no, Dutton pushes Morrison into sending in the ADF to 'protect business interests and the freedom of the Australian people' and forcibly opens the borders, WA petitions the high court to leave the federation - and we're off to the races) so I could just be a bit weird.

Aren't the Democrats and ALP both centre right parties?Do we need a thread asking how does the right gets its political mojo back and win power?
It's the answer to the thread: in order for the left to win power, they have to if not full on become right wing at least affect the pretense of doing so.Aren't the Democrats and ALP both centre right parties?
