@BeatInstinct@jeffhauser@RonBrownstein Who did? Do you not think that Mexico is a major country? They gave a landslide victory to the incumbent party in 2024, so the article writer clearly doesn't think so.
@zanghia28@jeffhauser@RonBrownstein Neither person here is MAGA. Jeff meant "are you saying that Mexico is not a major country?", in reference to the fact that Mexico did indeed give a landslide victory to the incumbent party in 2024.
@billyf65@jeffhauser@RonBrownstein Yes, you should read is tweet as "are you seriously saying that Mexico is not a major country?". It's a reference to the fact that Mexico has given a landslide victory to the incumbent party in 2024.
@jtesq60@jeffhauser@RonBrownstein That's his point. Maybe poorly phrased, but he meant "are telling me that you think Mexico is not a major country?". This is in reference to the fact that Mexico gave a landslide victory to the incumbent party in 2024.
@joe97559604@reina_amarillo@krystalball You didn't address the Mexico thing, where the incumbent's successor (basically same situation as Biden/Harris) handily won by running on the left.
@InAHandBa5ket@ArmandDoma Ok, but that essentially means giving up on abortion and adopting the republican position. That may be what Armand suggest Harris should've done, but I don't think most dem voters would like that.
@BennyisHere_215@ArmandDoma Ok, but that's unrelated to the screenshot we're discussing. Why do voters think Harris is too *progressive*, specifically?
@WASPmexicano@ArmandDoma On what issues do you think she was too progressive? What more conservative position do you think she could and should've taken to help her chances?
@loganb@ArmandDoma That'd make sense, but centrists also do that. They treat the left as agents, chastising them about e.g. their poor strategy, while treating the right almost like wild animals that need to be understood. Centrists are no more on the same tribe as the left than the right!
@ArmandDoma Flavor #2 also includes most democratic-leaning commentators, e.g. Matt Yglesias, Swann Marcus. They chastise democrats or the left for what they're saying/doing wrong, but talk about the GOP and their voters as unmovable obstacles that must be navigated around, or tended to.
