Fareed saab says that traditional successful Democratic leaders came from the South--- a faulty premise, that may be true only to a certain extent.
Bill 'lolita express' Clinton,
'Ayatollah--CIA ISLAM--ARC of Crisis' St. Jimmy one-term Carter
and 'Vietnam-Gulf of Tonkin' LBJ as leaders who could carry the SOUTH with their Southern colloquial twang.
So what about FDR, one of the greatest Presidents in America? He is from the South, No?: JFK....another Great President Catholic/Irish NE USA...cut short by JETHRO and the Deep State. Finally 2 term Barack Hussain Obama, with a Kenyan MUSLIM African 'nigger' dad. Can't get more exotic than that.
Finally, I thought in the 1960s the South went North and Republican? Nixon, the silent majority and the CONSERVATIVE REACTION TO THE swinging progressive '60s led by CALIFORNIA. From that time 1969 onwards...GOP strong in the centre and SOUTH ......and the DNC strong in the NE and SW....and California.....that is/thus Presidents like Barack Hussain Obama did not need the South to get elected in his 2 terms.
CHARISMA CHARISMA CHARISMA!
CHARISMA CHARISMA CHARISMA!
Is absolutely OK ....no really, I'm not smirking.... leaders in a banana republic CHARISMATIC leaders are really really OK...giving speeches about genocide and lynch mobs targeting people who don't agree with the party and so forth......GAY FAGGOTTY HOMOSEXUAL REPRESSED BEHAVIOUR FED an outlet and expressed through CHARISMATIC leadership, whatever that means. Installed into power by ISRAEL/USA EMPIRE/JACOB. The kind of leader that treats the electorate as 5th grade remedial special needs low achievers who need LOTS OF VIDEOS, COLOUR PICTURES, HAND GESTURES and even more banal colourful LANGUAGE to educate them.
Charismatic leaders whatever it means can be dangerous--HITLER, MUSSOLINI, and Trump. A sophisticated advanced modern educated informed country like the USA with free speech and relatively free flow of information should not need CHARISMATIC leaders to get elected...using exaggerations, hyperbole, fear, paranoia and insecurity to get elected.
Germany shuns charismatic leaders.

Thoroughly UNCHARISMATIC PEOPLE have been 2 term Presidents on the other hand. Great Presidents not so great Presidents in the USA.
FDR the aristocrat was not a CHARISMATIC LEADER---what he did exude in his 4 terms was solemnity, grim fortitude in the face of severe challenges at home and abroad, and finally a sincere WARM APPEAL TO THE AVERAGE JOE--fireside chats. Nothing fake no showmanship.
Eisenhower....2 terms.
Bush junior II 2 TERMS.....not a good President, but the Democratic candidates were weak.
I would add that Obama had CHARM but no real sophisticated Charisma---affable smile, mild non-confrontational language which was often very neutral and guarded, a compromise 'Bush light' who swam with the wishes of the Deep State and of course the epitome of tokenism-- a man of colour, from the humble middle-class background, a Harvard law professor, a thinking man becomes a very young President.
1. Party discipline
2. COVID-19
3. Pumping the economy
4. De-coupling from Obama and bringing in his own legacy
Withdrawal from Afghanistan is de-coupling from Obama
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL in its full extent, beyond tokenism, is decoupling from Obama
Voting rights is decoupling from Obama
Lots of African Americans who make up 15% of the population hate Obama, and voted for Trump! Seriously.
The same with the Latino/Hispanics who make up 20% of the population. This is where the Democrats future lies, and the registration of these voters should be the utmost priority.
