@StupidMoniker made a very compelling argument in another thread that the Democrats aren't the party of the rich.
Jim Crow Joe and the democrats are intentionally destroying this country to force their agenda through. god help us
Republicans had another purge when they chose Trump in the 2016 primaries. They will secure flyover and populist votes if they don't address their coastal bias.

Watchdog group leader urges FEC to take action against liberal donor https://thehill.com/news/3498660-wa...ges-fec-to-take-action-against-liberal-donor/ Watchdog group leader urges FEC to take action against liberal donor by Rachel Scully 05/23/22 7:33 PM ET Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of Americans for Public Trust, urged the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to "take action" and investigate a complaint against a Swiss billionaire who has sent money to Democratic causes. The May 2021 complaint alleged that billionaire Hansjörg Wyss is not a U.S. citizen, which would make donating to political candidates or political action committees illegal. The government watchdog group urged the FEC to take action in April in a lawsuit in a district court in Washington, D.C. on Monday, which alleges the FEC has been slow to act on the complaint. During an appearance on HillTV’s “Rising," Sutherland said that there has been an "indirect pattern of passing money from one non-profit to another." "Until the FEC takes action and investigates that daisy chain of pattern between the money flow, we will not know the full extent of his involvement in our U.S. politics," she said. The case is significant as the watchdog group found that Wyss has given millions to so-called dark money groups that fund liberal causes through operations like The Hub Project and Demand Justice. Sutherland specified that Wyss had given over $135 million to the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which she said gave 60 million dollars to super PACs that supported President Biden. "A foreign national can absolutely not contribute to a super PAC," she said. "A foreign national...is contributing to a group and that group has then financed super PACs that support Joe Biden, U.S. Senate candidates, ballot initiatives, everything across the board." "That is what we're seeing as indirect participation and it would also be illegal and that's why we asked the FEC to investigate."
https://althouse.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-democrats-lost-election-they-never.html May 31, 2022 "The Democrats lost an election they never expected to lose. They... lost to a reality TV show host when Hillary Clinton had all the backing of the establishment in the world." Posted by Ann Althouse at 7:02 AM "And instead of asking, what is it about our ideology that ruled the country for eight years, that drove people away from us into Donald Trump's arms, they instead decided they were going to blame everybody else. The Democrats simply replaced Trump with the same ideology they governed with for 8 years under Obama that caused people to run away from them as fast as they could. And now that people are doing that again, instead of asking ‘why is that happening’ they're getting poised to blame the electorate for being stupid -- for thinking the economy's bad when it's actually good." Said Glenn Greenwald, quoted at Real Clear Politics. I remember when the incumbent President lost to a Democrat who said "It's the economy, stupid." Now, apparently, the message is: If you think it's the economy, you're stupid. By the way, who was getting called stupid in the 1992 Clinton slogan "It's the economy, stupid"? Was he calling the campaign workers "stupid"? It seems as though he was compelling them to focus on the economy by internalizing the taunt "Stupid!" — to be triggered if they ever stray into any other topic. It might have been heard as an insult to the President George H.W. Bush. He's so out of touch, he doesn't know the people are hurting. He's stupid. It can't be that they were calling us, the People, stupid. That wouldn't work. Anyway, right now, the Democrats aren't blatantly labeling us stupid. That's Greenwald's rhetoric. He's saying the Democrats are telling the People they are stupid if they think the economy is bad. So, I would add, that means the Democrats are taking the George H.W. Bush position and are vulnerable to the attack that brought down Bush: "It's the economy, stupid."
Wow...I didn't know the following: 1. Defunding the police was called for prior to Columbine 2. Riots were called 'peaceful protests' prior to Columbine 3. Students were 'locked down' prior to Columbine. More bullshit
Democrats Losing Support From Some Black Voters An attack on voting rights, as well as expanded support for law enforcement, are just a few reasons for Black folks' withdrawal. https://www.theroot.com/democrats-losing-support-from-some-black-voters-1848997769
Yep. Their lack of protection of voting rights is a major issue for me. Why should i go through three countries and 20 hoops to vote for you . . .when you won't do the simplest thing to help me vote? Democrats have taken the black vote for granted far too too long. The only thing they offer black people is . . .. "We're not the Repubicans" or "The Republicans will do you worse!" Honestly more and more . . .black folx don't see the difference as far as our issues are concenred The Republican refuse to help The Democrats say they will help but have a million excuses why they don't End of the day . . . nothing is done A week of attacks on Asians .. . BOOM Anti-Asian legislation meanwhile . . . black still waiting on voting rights protections they have been asking for pretty much my whole life You think a demographic that votes 85+% for you would be important to you but We are not . . . .. so I feel less enthused to go out and vote for them Black Folx are not going to vote republican . .. they simply not going to vote In alot of black people's mind . . . cause it doesn't matter. . . we get the same thing either way Rocket River
facts Democrats are weak and a joke I already know how things are gonna go down after this Uvalde mass shooting…a bunch of tweets, and then ultimately nothing…par for the course…all talk, then a bunch of excuses or reasons for why there’s no action
Democrats Misunderstand the Suburban Vote And Why It’s Not Likely to Save Them in 2022 https://theliberalpatriot.substack.com/p/democrats-misunderstand-the-suburban?s=r excerpt: In sum, the Democrats’ plan to turn the election around by targeting suburban voters on abortion rights and gun control seems mathematically challenged and unlikely to work in the current environment. Once again, the Democrats may be basing their strategy around an electorate that they wish existed but does not in the real world. Perhaps after November they will reconsider this approach. more at the link
Opinion Why losing the midterms isn’t the worst thing for Democrats https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/06/06/democrats-losing-midterms-success-2024/ excerpt: There’s a pattern here. After narrowly winning the presidency in 1992, Bill Clinton immediately set about trying to rewrite the social contract and embroiling himself in distracting cultural issues. He became the first Democrat in almost 50 years to lose control of both chambers in the ensuing midterm elections. Clinton moderated his message and stared down the new Republican majority over its shutdown of the federal government. He was reelected easily. Twelve years later, Barack Obama swept into office on another Democratic wave, went on his own government-expansion bender and suffered his own stinging midterm rebuke. Recast as the lone bulwark against Republican radicalism, Obama was returned to office by a comfortable margin. Biden, similarly, has spent most of the past two years trying to satisfy the ascendant left of his party — the cringy-sounding “Squad” and so forth — in a mostly vain effort to enact some kind of sweeping agenda. The party in charge has spent inordinate amounts of time talking about police reform and college loan forgiveness, while the rest of the country worries far more about rising crime and the price of gas and groceries. No one at the White House will say this out loud, certainly, but the fact is that losing control of the House (and possibly the Senate) in November would instantly make the presidency a more manageable job. It would curb the power of the Sanders-Warren wing, freeing Biden to pursue the kind of mainstream liberal agenda — his landmark infrastructure law being a good example — that the voters thought they were getting in the first place. Not sure I buy the Clinton and Obama comparisons here, but an interesting theory that it would free up Biden to just be Biden more at the link
