But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on. **Further reading** - I’m a neoliberal.

Given that Special Counsel Jack Smith is asking for a Jan 2nd 2024 trail date, it's looking promising that the trail concerning Trumps effort to overturn the 2020 election will have concluded by the time we are casting votes in November 2024.
I know Trump has a pretty fanatical base, but Republicans still need to appeal to a respectable amount of moderates to stand a chance. And odds are looking decent that Trump will be a federal convict, something that I'm sure will be total repellant for said moderates.
Not to mention that Dems should have some really solid issues to campaign on. For instance, if they focus on enshrining abortion rights, that should help to secure some swing states. The most recent result in Ohio is promising in that regard.
I could go on, but I think Biden's strategy is sound so far. He has some really great stuff that he can focus on other than Trumps crimes. And hopefully some of those crimes will be addressed by the time the general election kicks off anyway.
I completely agree! I am also hoping that the January 2nd trial sinks Trump's entire ship, and I really hope it's not wishful thinking - he has never faced justice in his entire life. I really hope he does not find a way to weasel out of it, becuase then he will use it to fuel his entire campaign.
My main worry about his fanatical base is their propensity for violence. Too many of them are eager to create instability if they don't get their way.
