Democrats today are more likely to say they want their party to become moderate than they were four years ago, according to a Gallup poll published Thursday. The survey, conducted in the first week of President Trump’s second term, gauged partisan preferences on the ideological direction of respondents’ respective parties. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 45 percent say they want their party to become more moderate, while 29 percent say they want the party to become more liberal, and 22 percent say they want the party to stay the same.
This is what I hear and it’s not a dig at you but the Democratic party: "Let’s try the things that didn’t work harder, rather than something that worked for Roosevelt to Nixon?!”
I have no idea what the solution is, but whatever the Democrats are doing right now isn’t working. I would LOVE for them to move further left AND win because of it. It would not only take the country in the right direction but would also feel less like the country is permanently fucked up. I would ACCEPT for them to move further right in order to win back control. I wouldn’t be happy, but at least we could get some sane people back in control.
This country has 100 million people who don’t care enough about anything to bother voting at all, 80 million of whom aren’t even registered to vote even though they are eligible. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to see what’s going on right now and not care about voting to fix it. There are 70 million people who are HAPPY about what Trump is doing. Our country is fucked if 170 million people are either happy or don’t care about what is happening.
70 MN who are happy? Is that why the sitting president felt the need to tweet that republicans showing up at their R reps town halls were paid troublemakers? These are bipartisan turnouts.
