    How are they still saying this stuff after what transpired in the midterms? The people are concerned about what America will look like, and that concern is about the extremist GOP being in control.

    I mean, he still is Herschel Walker. Let's not pretend like this is the dumbest thing he's said, even this month.

    It turns out Biden wasn't a fool to close with Democracy and voters care much more about it than we thought.

    New Polling Shows Democracy Mattered In The 2022 Midterms
    By Paul Blumenthal
    Dec 1, 2022, 01:01 PM EST

    Six in 10 voters cited protecting democracy as an extremely important reason that they decided to vote in November. This put the issue ahead of inflation (53%), abortion (47%) and crime (45%). When asked to choose the top two issues that motivated them to vote, 50% chose protecting democracy, second only to inflation at 55%.

    These findings are largely in line with preelection surveys from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CBS News, NBC News, Quinnipiac University Poll and the Grinnell College National Poll, as well as exit polling from The Associated Press, NBC News and CNN.

    The issue of democracy “was really one of the most dominant factors” for Democrats and independents in determining whether they would turn out and “decisive in decision-making in terms of whether independent voters were going to vote for the Democratic candidate or the Republican candidate,” Murphy said.

    Among Democrats, 73% cited protecting democracy as an extremely important reason that they decided to vote. Fifty-one percent of independents similarly cited it as extremely important, on par with the 53% who cited inflation.
