Trump's approval rating still negative while the public sours further on Democrats, CNBC survey shows
I mean, I'm souring on the Democrats because they haven't fucking done anything to divert us from this disaster.
When they get the ball, they won't play offense. When they lose the ball, they won't play defense.
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.
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.
They’ve had a bunch of long talks on the floor of congress.
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".
In a functioning democracy this would be a great time to launch a 3rd party.
I would really love to see one, but there is none. The Greens and Libertarians aren't it, and the America Party certainly isn't it.
There should be a broad party with just these four issues:
Run good, credible candidates for every seat on every level, and I don't see how you can lose.
Well, unless the media ignores you, which will probably happen.
How negative can it be if he keeps winning and doing whatever he wants?
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.
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
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?
Who cares? They don't need ratings. Why even post this?
Because we are all sick and tired of only having conservatives to vote for.
Dems have the uncanny ability to suck so much that they torch goodwill even when the public hates what Trump is doing. Replace the geriatric fucks with your people who can actually inspire the voting base again, like a certain guy in NY.
