The Democratic Party's Slide Into Irrelevance
Attaching a poll ... Dems unfavorability rating increased from 45% to 57% during the Biden Administration.
It's amazing how hard you work to try to find any speck of something a democrat might have said that may be construed negatively and completely ignore the corrupt serial liar rapist and the litany of horribleness of his bootlicking republican party.
What part of Lozen's post did you disagree with?
Biden should have gotten with a younger and hotter wife, like a true Republican man of God.
You thought wrong.Hillary Clinton had no such cognitive issues, and was more than qualified to be POTUS. But morons chose Trump anyway, making it clear that the “Biden was too old/demented” is just bullshit to try to justify their unjustifiable vote for Trump in ‘24.Trump is a disaster, and pretty much everyone knows it. But they’re too cowardly to admit it. Just own it. Li
Hillary was more qualified to be POTUS, that's why I voted for her.
But Biden was old and demented and Kamala was an empty vessel who never won anything let alone a primary. So she deserved to lose. As ****ed up as Trump is Kamala was worse.
She won three different elected offices. But I agree she wasn’t the most inspiring person. Seems like a petty reason to prefer Trump over her.
Her being an empty vessel would be much preferred over the current cult of personality. I expect she would have had many competent advisors over and against the nightmare that is in the white house right now.

Harris won a statewide election for attorney general in CALIFORNIA by less than 1% while Jerry Brown carried the state by 13 points.
Do you have any idea how anemic a performance that is for a Democrat in California ?
The "Democratic" Party did not have a primary in 2024. The voters had zero say in choosing their representative. That's about as undemocratic as it gets. Also, homelessness increased by a record 24% in 2024 during the last year of the Biden / Harris administration and it wasn't discussed during the campaign. An indication of leadership out of touch with the experience of average people and loyal to wealthy donors.
There is absolutely nothing about her which inspires enthusiasm.
I'm not a Trump supporter. I've never voted for a Republican. But the Democratic Party establishment has completely lost touch with any notion of populism.
The Dems don't give a damn about winning. They are false opposition. What party that wants to win makes a guy like Schumer a party leader when he is more than -20 with the general public ? The obsequiousness to the wealthy is not petty. They are transparently fraudulent.
Is the GOP better ? No. But at least they give some hateful people what they want.
Bet you can't name a single policy that Kamala Harris inspired you with .....
In poker .... there is something called a "tell".
A party that wanted to win the general election would choose the candidate who was most popular in the swing states. There is no scenario in which Democrats are going to carry S. Carolina in a general election. So why do they allow S. Carolina to be such a decisive state in the primary ?
Because neoliberals like Obama and James Clyburn get to tell the voters there who to support and they are conservative and obedient.
Obama is a plague upon the Democratic Party. A wolf is sheep's clothing. In my opinion, that's more evil than Trump who doesn't hide what he is.

Why would I need to be inspired by Kamala’s policies? This is politics. I don’t always get exactly what I want out of my representation. And frankly, I may agree with progressive economic policies but I can’t say I’m inspired by progressives’ utter lack of desire to actually do the politics necessary to get it passed.
That’s why there are all these delusional fantasies about doing M4A by executive order or locking people up unless they vote for M4A.
Populism plays well to the voters in some cases, but it also makes for silly political fantasies and delusions.
Anyway, you already acknowledged the most important thing to me, which is that Republicans are just not better than Democrats and Trump doesn’t belong anywhere near the White House. You of all people with how single-mindedly obsessed about mathusian visions of resource scarcity should realize the danger of a climate denying authoritarian like Trump.

If one guy lies about being an ******* and another guy tells the truth about being a sociopath, I’ll take the lying ******* over the honest sociopath.

Harris herself couldn't even name one. She literally said she couldn't think of anything that she would have done different than Biden.
Who knew that Biden was a perfect President?

Harris defeated the lovely and talented fellow-Democrat Rep. Loretta Sanchez for Senator. (Several years earlier Sanchez had unseated Republican Robert "B-1 Bob" Dornan in his congressional district.
Again, you are incorrect. Trump’s broken personality and sociopathic inclinations make him orders of magnitude worse than any major party nominee for POTUS in US history.
The fact he still hasn’t conceded 2020 and incited a riot on J6 is frankly all anyone should need to know to recognize Trump should not be allowed anywhere near the WhiteHouse
Piss poor judgment. Piss ****ing poor.

This is not a well-informed opinion for several reasons. First, individual states have ultimate authority on when to hold their primaries, although the DNC obviously has a lot of sway in persuading states. Second, for 2024, the DNC voted to move South Carolina and Georgia into the first five primaries and Iowa out of the top five. At this point, the Democrats are about as likely to win SC as they are Iowa, and more likely to win Georgia than they are Iowa, which cuts against your narrative. (Georgia didn't end up in the top five in 2024, presumably because the state didn't vote to do what the DNC recommended.) Third, your narrative doesn't really make sense. Even if the Democrats were more likely to win Iowa than SC in a general election, it wouldn't follow that the the winner of a Iowa Democratic caucus would be more likely to win an overall general election than the winner of the SC Democratic primary. To the contrary, states like SC and Georgia are less homogenous than Iowa. For that reason, winning primaries in SC and Georgia likely is more indicative of an ability to win a general election than winning a caucus in Iowa. Fourth, none of this even mattered for 2024 because of the timing of Biden's withdrawal.
I'm always confused when people cite Trump's transparency about who he is as if he made some sort of virtuous choice to be transparent. Trump lies far more than any president in history. Yes, we still know who he is. But that is is a testament to how unbelieveable most of his lies are, not a testament to some sort of commitment by him to transparency.

You're not understanding why winning South Carolina for a democrat is so important. Nobody "allows" them to have importance. They are important because a Dem that does well in SC will probably do well in AL, MS, AR, LA, MO, GA and that's a ton of votes in the primary. If a Dem does well in NH, great but who cares? There aren't a ton of other votes to be won for a Dem by appealing to white rural voters. Nobody is allowing SC to have power and NH not.....it's just vote counting.
The pearl clutching over "profanity" is snowflake bs.
As I've said before, I'm not sure I have ever heard an intelligent comment from someone who uses the term TDS.
I think you are a right-wing troll who does not value what anyone has to say. So the answer to your specific question is no.
Let me ask you a question - do you think there are consistent left wingers on here that fly off the handle if you post anything that isn't completely 100% anti Trump? Do you think there are ANY conservative views you would see as valid?
