Democratic Party hits new polling low, while its voters want to fight Trump harder
Unlike in Trump’s first term, Democratic voters say 2-to-1 they want party leaders to fight rather than compromise, even at the risk of not getting things done, per the NBC News poll.
-
Voters: Free Luigi, eat the rich
Elected officials: 💁♂️

Exactly.
Eventually something minor cannot be done, we want democrat politicians to stop cooperating with Republicans... but no, they just roll to expose their belly and vote in the budget bill.
-
-
Democratic leaders blearily looked up from their mid-afternoon cocktails on the decks of billionaire's yachts and said, "They want us to what?"
-
Indeed, they're just too status quo.
-
-
So, trumps polling all time low numbers, democrats are polling low numbers.
I feel like if I release T-Shirts that just say "Everything sucks", they would be universally popular.
-
Trump is actively killing democracy. Some Democratic politicians have chosen the most pathetic, inexcusable response possible: bland indifference.
I’m torn between fear that our government will collapse, and the cynical realization that maybe it deserves to.
-
Unfortunately I think the people need to start fighting first. Neither side can count on their elected officials anymore. One side is just too stupid to realize it yet...
-
Need some serious, if not injurious protests. Time to fight and make some noise.

Kamala dropped the ball with the presidential campaign. She had no opinion on any issue that majority of voters really cared about. No wonder the entire democratic party gets backlash
-
Harris didn't, at least not alone; 2024 was a party platform problem.
-
She should have never been the candidate. Biden put her in an unwinnable position. The old geezer's ego cost America it's democracy.

US voters want to fight against the one party state .... the Democrat/Republican Party
-
I'm eagerly waiting to see US voters fighting against Republicans, I'm not sure I've seen it in my whole adult life

"oh but why won't people vote for the democrats?!?!"
Because they're fucking pussies. Time to vote for the Black Panther Party. I don't care if you're white. I am too.
Now dawn that black beret and start marching with rifle in hand. We're going to go form some fucking cooperatives!

And those same people won't vote for an AOC or Sanders in their district because... Reasons?

Democratic party is owned by capitalists. They will never fight for policy that actually improves living conditions of the working class, and thus their sole ‘popularity’ has to stem from people who think they will fight against fascism (they won’t and they don’t).
-
Leninism and Stalinism is every bit as bad as fascism. In fact they are practically the same thing. That why Stalin made a military invasion pact with Hitler against Poland.
They will never fight for policy that actually improves living conditions of the working class
You mean like social security, medicare, and the ACA?
thus their sole ‘popularity’ has to stem from people who think they will fight against fascism
This is backwards. Their unpopularity is because they aren't fighting nearly enough against fascism.

Democratic party is the party of status quo.
Conservative party is the party of destruction/cancer.
The people want a party of progress.
The people will never get what they want with these two parties in charge of everything.
Just a sad fact. Things will get worse before they get better.
-
fight rather than compromise
Why are there so many stupid people that can vote? Because that is how fascists and authoritarian governments get to grab power.
History has given us some of the best documented examples of how it can go terribly wrong. Specifically Hitler and how he first destroyed democracy. Every step Trump is taking is the same as Hitler did.

Hungary is another good case of how the right got into power and then changed laws to make it extremely unlikely they will ever be unseated.

Fuck Americans. And I say that as an American.
A good chunk of you dont give a fuck about voting and that's why were here.
And they probably aren't smart enough to sign up to Lemmy.
So eat it up. Everyday. Wake up and smell it. All the shit.

Man I wish they'd get rid of this phony nerd routine this guy pulls with his idiotic rolled up sleeves and over the top presentation. Theres plenty of real data nerds out there who'd do a better job.
-
Big brain voters love AOC and Bernie and then somehow manage to vote third-party
-
Third party votes haven't been relevant since Ross Perot. They are brought up as a distraction by failing Democratic candidates.
