Voters want radical changes.The promise of a return to a stable past is not so devastating
Adede (and Trump) lost again
Voters want radical change.Promises of a return to the stable past do not work as well as disruption
It's only been a year since Trump was re-elected.And a few hours ago, Biden lost it again without showing up.In fact, Democrats have won every key position in the United States, from Virginia to New Jersey, including the mayor of New York.But apart from dissatisfaction with Trump's policies after the first year, in which the American economy is far from the expectations that helped him win the presidential election on November 24, there is another dissatisfaction that explains the result.
You only have to look at the candidates who won the various elections to see who lost: the regulars.Losing is the Democratic Party establishment, or what Politico calls "Bidenism."Americans have not only voted against Trump's policies, but also against Biden's legacy.The strategy of promising a return to normalcy has failed.A radical change is taking place, best illustrated by New York's new and unconventional mayor.
Zahan Mambani is an unexpected candidate at the age of 34 (the youngest in a century), a left-wing resident (happy is Mr, the first Mussim, who was recently appointed by the city and his party against him.
The new mayor of New York is not the only one who has won over supporters by doing things that are not typical of the Democratic Party, which, as Argemino Baro says in the last episode of "Pause", which we recorded to evaluate the year of Trump, has spent a year immersed in trying to fight the fire of Trump with a knife.
In California, extremism has become not an ideology but a matter of method. In the face of Republican efforts before the midterm elections, Gov. Gavin Newsom moved to change California's nonpartisan redistricting process.He asked voters to approve a new electoral map that benefits the Republican Party over the Democratic Party as the only way to return to a new normal.
The idea that Biden promoted during his four years in office, that Trump had been an anomaly and together with everything back to normal, was proven a failure by the defeat of ex aequo Kamala Harris.Pre-Trump Washington no longer exists.Or normality.
The winner was not only Trump's opposition, but also Biden's.And it is not necessarily a question of ideological radicalism that unites them.In Virginia, centrist candidate Abigail Spanberger, who was a staunch critic of Biden before becoming governor, won.In New Jersey, the new governor will also be a woman, Mickey Sherrill, after a career in Congress in which she met Nancy Pelosi, the powerful speaker of the House of Representatives and a symbol of the Democratic establishment and classic anti-Trumpism.
Mamdani is a clear example that the pressure against Trump will not return to normal, as Biden argued in his campaign a year ago.After a year of rapid change, voters still want drastic change but in a different direction.
The promise of a return to a stable past is less compelling than the disruption.New York's new mayor is a radical leftist who has found success with viral videos connecting with generational change seekers, establishing himself as the voice of the disadvantaged against the Big Apple's millionaires and assembling a network of volunteers dedicated to the cause in unconventional ways.
But it remains to be seen how Tuesday's victory will materialize.The Democratic Party still has a lot to change.A poll conducted by the Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos found that 68% of Americans think Trump is more out of touch with reality than Trump (63%).This may be exactly what voters are looking for, but it's an alternative reality to the alternative reality presented by a president who doesn't really care about the facts.
The antidote to Trump, at least a year after his victory, is not to scandalize his heresy, but to denounce the fact that the cost of living continues to rise and that Trump voters are no different from a year ago, according to polls.It seems that he worked at Mamdani in New York, the largest city in America.But New York is not America.No one understood this better than Donald Trump.
It's been just over a year since Trump won re-election.And a few hours ago, Biden disappeared again without showing up.In fact, Democrats won almost every major seat in the United States, from Virginia to New Jersey, including the mayor of New York.But beyond feeling out of touch with Trump's policies after the first year, the U.S. economy is far from perfect, he won the November 24 presidential election that explains the results.
