The data show the Democratic Party retaining advantages among people of color and young adults, but in 2023 it was in a weaker position among these groups than at any point in the past quarter century. Democrats’ reduced support among Black and Hispanic adults should be especially concerning for the party, given Republicans’ continued strength among White adults, who remain the majority of the electorate.
Surly this will in no way backfire on them. Just ask rural whites in red states - they’re doing great, nothing but opportunities and wealth. Except no, wait, I’m being told they’re still neck deep in poverty. We’ll I’m sure it’ll work out differently THIS time.
Biden draws bipartisan applause for calls to ‘fund the police’
Then there’s the fact that Democrats voted for a border wall like Trump/Republicans wanted
And the fact that Biden is openly okay with genocide and doesn’t care about internal people getting treated poorly, like LGBT, BIPOC, Women, and more.
Like it’s not really a shock.
The victory lap on the economy didn’t help. I feel like there was one millennial in the meeting and he got thrown out the window when he suggested they instead message about making things affordable again.
Was that ground taken by the Republicans or something else? Because my own position is that while I still hope that the next election is blue instead of red, I have hope that the people of America will find a third solution that involves neither current party. Not necessarily during this next election.
It was not taken. They’re going independent. They’re just saying they’re done with the Democrats. When the ideology polls come out it’s clear their still left leaning ideologically.
We could really do with some Socialist policies in the US right about now. If only half of the country wasn’t scared of the word, by itself.
I mean, they just supported an utterly horrible border policy. We just moved 8 steps to the right on immigration, and gained precisely 0 for it.
8 steps to the right from Trump’s position. We never backed the border down from his less insane but still cruel policies. Like keeping Asylum seekers in Mexico as some kind of giant ad hoc refugee camp with none of the services and protections.
Consider further complexity - Ukraine desperately needs funding to fight a resurgent Russia. Put simply keeping that conflict isolated prevents a broader one across eastern Europe and us out of it. A strong Russia helps Iran which makes that conflict worse.
The immigration policy has a lot of bad in it - but it’s reform the GOP demanded to pass other issues. They just refused to accept “yes” to their own policy and have to run on that. Consider if that flips the House and retains the Senate actual, far better policy can be enacted.
The GOP is backing Russia and is desperate NOT to solve….anything. Democrats are at least attempting to polish the current DC turd. Biden has to back Israel and is telling Netanyahu to back off Gaza. The GOP sure isn’t.
The nuance is the GOP policy should be blamed on them. It was a master stoke to call their bluff and say “ok, pass it”. They never wanted it to actually pass any more than they wanted to lose Roe v Wade as a campaign issue. They’re screwing themselves.
That’s not going to flip the house. Republicans are cheering them because of course they aren’t on Fox admitting they torpedoed their own plan. They’re saying they blocked Biden from letting in all the Communists and giving them your job.
And Biden does not have to back Israel. You are never required to support genocide.
Democrats have to find a better way. it’s why leadership is hard and few are good at it. It means finishing jobs and bringing ways through.
Biden is a joke of a president, and a bad one. We were told that we had to not fight too hard in the primaries because we that would empower Trump.
These strategies focused on damage reductions dj harm mitigation have done nothing but make the situation worse.
This was an entirely terrible play by the Democrats. They are shit at politics and worse at strategy. We need real, bold leadership right now and Biden nor the rest of the Democrats are up for it.
This dumb ass play will be followed by another, worse idea now than the media has patted their backs for it.
People who end up voting for a party that abjectly hates them rather get the party they deserve but not the party they need.
I don’t understand those confused Hispanics. I’m Hispanic myself and I’m well aware of those minority-hating politician fuckers.
Oh look, another poll in which they ask you how you feel instead of who you plan on voting for.
Polls have been complete garbage since 2019 & have gotten even worse since. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, there is a nine+ point difference in the Democrat’s favor between the polls & actual votes, natinonwide.

A poll of who you want to vote for won’t reflect that.
Missing the point. Polls nationwide currently do not reflect reality & haven’t for some time now.

Won’t that make it hard to be a reactionary karma farmer?
How much support and how many elections against deranged fascists do these neoliberal idiots have to lose before they admit that it’s the fault of THEM for not earning people’s votes rather than the voters they take for granted and that it’s not fucking 1992 anymore??
