It's insane to me they would rather split the vote and put one of Trump's puppets in office rather than move their platform slightly left of center.
It makes sense when you think about how they are closer to Trump policy wise than they are to being left of center.
"But, them democrats is all libuhruls!" ~ Most of MAGA.
But, there are some MAGAs who know it's all a ruse but don't care because they want the bigots to win. So, they stoke the fire under the ignorant masses.
Modern Liberalism claims to be for individual equality but that's kind of a lie. It has the same mechanisms to distribute economic and political power than Classic Liberalism, Libertarianism or Neoliberalism. Capital rules everything.
MAGAts understand that the Democrats believe in inequality just like the fascists do, just inequality based on class instead of on identity. So for them it's perfectly logical to choose identity instead. They are not wrong about the hypocrisy of liberals, pretending to care about equality for some specific group but ignoring the inequality for all. It was fine until prosperity started to plummet.
