Democrats at 18% approval, all time low

[Raze]

I can speak to this - the Dem's brand is in the toilet because the Democratic base wants: 1) A party that fights back against Trump's authoritarian power grab. 2) A bold agenda centered around affordability.

Instead, current Democratic leadership seems content to roll over for fascism, and make small tweaks to an economic system that's not working for ordinary people.

Unlike the GOP which is a Cult of personality with a built-in approval rating floor (around 30% of the country will support Dear Leader no matter what), the Dems have to earn their approval rating. And Democratic leadership is doing a terrible job, practicing an outdated style of politics from thirty years ago. 

This isn't about the age of people running for office (at least not entirely), it's about an Old versus New style of politics (think Chuck Schumer versus Mamdani).

Yes. That's how fragile democracy is. That this is the winning number.

Selective reading? Can't read the rest of my post?

 

Cope harder. Democrats are winning seats they haven't won in 60 years. You're polling entitled Americans, look at what these socialists on here post complaining about and then look at what the people from other countries make fun of them about.

Ah I see you are trolling.

Carry on.

Here let me try: America is in great political shape, best in years.

One decently competent dictator and you are all cooked.

Democrats just lost the presidency, and we're into a 7 year and going recession, why the hell would any American say they're satisfied. You're crazy, grasping at straw to...... once again tarnish Democrats instead of campaigning against Republicans, just like you all did against Harris. Pathetic.
