You lack vision. The Rock seen as a centrist/ common sense/ conservative is the perfect branding to usher in economic populism.


You people are unserious—and that’s exactly why Democrats keep losing. It’s 2025, and somehow you’re still clinging to the same tired “common sense conservatism” that’s been hollowing out the Democratic Party since the early ’90s. These policies haven’t just failed—they’ve actively sabotaged progressive momentum for decades. And now, not only are you doubling down on that broken framework, you’re doing it behind a centrist coward in the rock—someone who doesn’t even understand the basics of political strategy, let alone how to lead a movement. It’s embarrassing.

I don’t understand why you clowns continue to edit posts then go into a tirade that is addressed by the portion of the post you deleted.

I guess it’s easier to construct straw men that way.

The gambit isn’t that he’s actually a conservative it’s that he’s perceived as a centrist conservative which gives him the political capital to run on economic populism while avoiding being called a communist or socialist

The Rock isn’t just perceived as a centrist conservative—he is one. Let’s stop pretending otherwise. He joined the board of a right-wing corporation not by accident, but because that’s exactly where his politics and priorities align. He’s the kind of centrist who only takes political risks when there’s a guaranteed financial return. If it doesn’t pad his brand or boost his bottom line, he’s not touching it. And let’s be real—he barely even acknowledges his own racial identity in public discourse, let alone uses his platform to challenge power structures. But sure, go ahead and fantasize that he’s going to torch his business empire to run on economic populism. You can’t be serious. That’s not political strategy—it’s wishful thinking dressed up as delusion.

Why did Rock endorse Biden? Why did Rock not endorse Trump in 2024?

Trump was seen as a democrat and a limousine liberal prior to him becoming a birther.

You don’t know what the Rock’s actual politics are. You’re just fooled by his perceived ambiguity which is what makes him the perfect candidate to fix the Democrats toxic image to mainstream America

I answered that above

" He’s the kind of centrist who only takes political risks when there’s a guaranteed financial return"

Trump was never seen as a democrat, Trump was a billionaire who operated in nyc thats it.
You don’t know what the actual Rock’s actual politics are.
Hence why he's a political coward. Where was his endorsement last election? You want to know why he didn't ? Because political risk

Why didn’t you endorse Biden in 2024? Stop with blatant hypocrisy.

Rock took a financial hit by endorsing Biden in 2020. He knew a lot of his wrasslin fans were MAGA

So you’d be open to supporting The Rock if he ran on a “common sense affordability” platform which is really economic populism?
:mjlol: I would have to see what the rest of the field looks like, but I'll tell you this, if The Rock is the most sensible candidate running in the Democratic field, something has gone horribly wrong.

@the cac mamba might be right. Progressives don’t have a presidential candidate they believe in.

This place is so unserious. Of course there is one. They just haven’t revealed themselves yet. And when they do, if they lose, it’s because Centrist Voltron formed against them. And not because they waited til the last minute to reveal themselves to 140+ million voting people.
