Trump's approval rating still negative while the public sours further on Democrats, CNBC survey shows
The Dems are like the Keystone Cops bungling around while a wannabe dictator continues to take America apart.
Even if the Dems had decent candidates, their strategy and tactics are ineffective.
It’s like we get the worst of anyone who wants to be a politician, either side of the aisle.
Simple reason is....it takes a ton of fucking money to run a campaign. Even small county judge races cost at least 50-80k. How many good, down to earth people can drop their job, spend 80k on campaign shit and get out alive?
Even with party money, you'll still be struggling. Plus, who wants to be holden to the same old bullshit system?
Very good points. It’s why money needs to be taken out of politics. Many other countries have figured that out.
Citizens United really was the nail in the coffin for American politics.
I mean, Mamdani and Bernie proved that this is a very solvable problem. Small dollar donations are more than enough to get a candidate with popular policies into victory.
Democrats were recently caught having a fund raising scheme so corrupt that it should be a capital offense to run such a thing. Those spammy text messages we were getting asking for donations? Turns out 98% of the money donated to those went straight into the pockets of consultants. The party's primary reason for existence is not to advance policy goals, but to steal money from liberal donors.
It was only very recently that the US legalized paying a wage from campaign contributions, too.
Almost like it was all rigged, something trump admitted out loud, more than once.

Anyone with enough brains to be an effective leader has fucked off into retirement. Nobody wants to renovate the Titanic when it's already halfway underwater.
The Titanic has the largest military force and nuclear arsenal on this planet tho
In a functioning democracy this would be a great time to launch a 3rd party.
Unfortunately we wished for it on a monkeys paw and we got the America Party.
Who cares about ratings when you don’t need elections?
Elections in the US won't ever be free or fair ever again now that the child fucker is back in charge, the GOP have spent decades taking control of the courts & gerrymandering their way to absolute control.
The only way that democracy and workers rights can be restored at this point is if everyone starts picking up their guns and starts systematically executing billionaires & their puppets. There are more of you than them, it's time you started acting like it.
Also let's be honest Trump could just send Ice to go arrest every Hispanic voter in line during early voting and he would scare enough people away from voting to win in a landslide. There's absolutely nothing I would stop him from doing that. What did the Democrats going to do? A sternly worded letter?
I knew the American public was fucking stupid but I didn't think they would continue declining this quickly.
You public is equally stupid, i guarantee it. Neoliberal parties are cratering across the globe because they are advocating for the system that is grinding everyone down. Labour, the SDP, and Rennasisance, are all getting clobbered in the polls because they keep advocating for the same failed system that led us to the mess we are in now. Hell, Italians keep voting for Mussolini's literal centerold granddaughter. Or the Dirch voting for PVV, or Hungary and Orban, or PiS in Poland. And since Western powers have spent the last 80 years crushing any actual leftist policies, people everywhere are supporting rightwing parties because they are the loudest voices offering a change. what is happening on America is happening all across Europe right now. Or are American voters responsible for how people in Europe vote as well?
You saw/read handmaids tale? It’s that. That’s the goal. And I’m not making a joke.
I mean, I'm souring on the Democrats because they haven't fucking done anything to divert us from this disaster.
The Dems are fairly low on my list of the blame game. But they're still on the list!
They could do the bare minimum.
Fuck, pick at least 1 and I don't get paid $200k with life time benefits and insider knowledge.
They're very high on mine. They created the conditions that allowed Trump to take power. They've fought tooth and nail to keep everyone who might have been able to prevent this disaster away from the levers of power. The Democrats are the rachet preventing the rest of the country from stopping (or gasp reversing) the Republican-led march to fascism.
If Joe Biden had put Donald Trump behind bars on his first day of office for the January 6 attack we wouldn't be here right now. Everything good he ever did is irrelevant because he failed to stop the coup
The house is burning down. I'm obviously blaming the arsonists, but I'm also lying blame at the firefighters who decided to not do their duty.
When they get the ball, they won't play offense. When they lose the ball, they won't play defense.
Dems are perfectly happy with feeling smug in their political moral superiority and their insider trading. Why take power, and have to work hard? Chuck Schumer would rather compose stern letters to people who can't read.
Well, no, but let's not forget they did a whole lot to contribute to it. Remember Joe Biden? Yeah... We could have had Bernie.
Voters made sure to put them in the minority in all levels of government.
What did they do to get people to vote for them? Because they spent the last 4 years doing the "Everything is fine" meme while everyone's quality of life rapidly started to deteriorate. Even candidates in Democratic strongholds saw their numbers nose dive last year because they have nothing to offer people other than "we aren't Trump".
