The Democratic Party’s image has eroded to its lowest point in more than three decades, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll, with voters seeing Republicans as better at handling most issues that decide elections.
The new survey finds that 63% of voters hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party—the highest share in Journal polls dating to 1990 and 30 percentage points higher than the 33% who hold a favorable view.
Hard for them to capitalize on something like everyone being pissed about ICE, when the Dems are releasing literal thank you letters to ICE for their work.
If they wanted to beat Trump, they’d have to not support his policies. And that’s ultimately where Harris failed. It was just the same policies filtered through a PR agency.
This, for me, was the moment when I went from “man, these people really suck as an opposition party” to “They’re either incredibly incompetent or they’re just straight-up controlled opposition.”
You can’t oppose Trump while thanking his Gestapo for their service. Fuck that.
This is how I’ve felt and haven’t been able to put it into words. Harris could have curb stomped Trump if she had effectively distanced herself from rightwing policy. Her stance on immigration was unforgivable and served to normalize what Trump would eventually do.
She was a DA for several different jurisdictions in California for a BIG part of her career before she got onto Biden’s ticket. Her stance on ICE and hardline immigration policy was unsurprising, and the fact that she leaned into consultants urging her to emphasize that is similarly unsurprising. In that regard, she was straight up the wrong candidate.
Oh yeah, it was definitely was unsurprising given her record. But it was still unforgiveable.
They even tried to implement a terrible gop bill while they were in power, and only didn’t do it because gop thought it would be a win for dems if anything passed.
They’re even blaming minorities for their loses after doing that
Same policies? You’re fucking high and stupid. A fucking idiot that takes in the “ThEy’RE All ThE SamE!” bullshit, and repeats it like a moronic parrot.
At one point I was like you so I am not going to judge. I will just say pay more attention to their actions and not just their words.
That’s just an accidental admission you weren’t paying attention during the Biden admin.
