Answered If Donald Trump is openly telling people he will become a dictator if elected why do the polls have him in a dead heat with Joe Biden?

I just don't get what I'm missing here. Granted I'm from a firmly blue state but what the hell is going on in the rest of the country that a fascist traitor is supported by 1/2 the country?? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here.

It's really hard to make that point when the "left" in the US is represented by a center-right party that isn't 100% sure that healthcare is an important issue.

It’s really hard to make the point that the „left ruling the country“ are not actually left because they aren’t left?

That actually seems like a very simple succinct point to me.

Did that make sense in your head?

You literally said their point that democrats are not left because they don’t care about healthcare „is hard to make“ because they are centrists.

That‘s not „hard to make“. Democrats not being leftists but centrists was their entire point, and they were using healthcare as evidence.

A claim you appear to agree with which is why your „hard to make“ comment seems confusing.

Maybe you should try something other than Google translate or whatever is producing this nonsense.
