    USA:

    I would be running on a social democratic platform with a focus on urbanism, affordable housing and tough-on-landlords policies, de-escalation with China, stopping state governments from being aggressive toward Mexico, and introducing a bodily autonomy amendment to the Constitution, with rhetoric that attempts to take the notion of American pride back from conservatives and warmongerers.

    I was one of those people stopped being “anti-SJW” when Unite the Right happened, and later I flirted with anarcho-communist ideas (I’m still in my early 20s, this is more common with American youth than you’d think.) The former would turn off my social democratic base, the latter would discourage centrist voters. Also my views on race don’t align perfectly with the American progressive orthodoxy (it has a lot to do with being mixed race, though I don’t think my views are popular with mixed people either.) And I crossdress (might boost me with socdems but halt momentum with undecideds and old people.)

      de-escalation with China

      You’re probably not going to get your wish on that one. The Chinese government is…well, not nice, as the Uyghurs can attest. Maybe let’s let them dial back the oppression first, then make friends with them?

      Depends how sexy your crossdressing is… 🤔
