    I‘m from Europe, so maybe we don‘t get alle the press news. But from the outside, I wonder: Where the f*** have the Democrats been for weeks?

      They lack unity and any sort of definitive leadership. They’re a rudderless ship in a storm. What consensus they can muster among the older ranks is to not upset their wealthy donors, so any chance of creating a policy to invigorate the working class is out of the question. Any policy that is good for the working class will tap the brakes on the unfettered looting being done by the ruling class, so that’s a no starter for the establishment Democrats.

      The only chance we have is the total elimination of private money involvement in politics, and at this point I’m not sure if we’re so far gone that even that’ll undo the cancer rotting our system.

      They have, and the results of their soul searching are as clear as the last time they lost to trump: nothing.

      If anything, they’re more likely to double down and compete with the republicans on the corporate dick sucking, making it even more apparent to the working class that, with how bad the republicans are, they’re just not an alternative…

      Instead of splitting into a multi-party democracy, the US is just devolving into a single party state

    Maybe make the signs a little bit bigger… They need more Al Greens. Now. 31 % of the voters voted for trump. Around 40 didn’t even vote. They’ll loose more votes doing nothing, than actually doing something

    I read the same story on CNN this morning.

    Apparently the Democrats have a favourability rating of 29% (“a record low in CNN’s polling dating back to 1992 and a drop of 20 points since January 2021”) while the Republicans have a favourability rating of 36%.

      That GOP number is right around Trump’s floor, interestingly enough. The GOP is a cult and Dems are angry at their politicians, so this doesn’t surprise me.

    America voted for Trump, because America is a racist country.

    It’s not the Dem’s fault, it’s the fault of the racists.

    Lot’s of rich right-wing shits right now funding these propaganda news articles, to muddy the waters about how everyone hates Trump.

      It may not be their fault but we can still be angry at them for doing nothing back. They’re not supposed to only work when times are good
