Democrats' Own Poll: "Everyone Hates Us, We Suck", The New Republic: "What If the Political Pendulum Doesn't Swing Back?"

[The Duke]

This was predictable for the Democratic party for many years. They willingly became a half of America's one party system, which created inequality that was no longer tolerable to the working class. They never tried to bring about social reform.

History could then predict that a democratic country would turn to accepting fascism.

America's future now hangs on a thread and could be determined by one event. One last act of defiance to stop fascism and save democracy.

Where will the US military stand?

So the Chinese will try to incite a Civil War in America?
Is that what you're saying?

 

[The Duke]

I don’t know about that.

Democrats ran an absolutely terrible campaign in 2024. It would be difficult for them to match that level of stupid in the next election.

They can only improve after that disaster, I think.

Have they come to the point of realizing and admitting their mistakes yet?
They seem to have a bit of a problem with that.

 

[The Duke]

This ain't Canada, duck. Your projections hold no water, simply nonsense.

Dime to a dollar, that one's really in China.

 

[The Duke]

Yes, this an example in history that admittedly buttresses your argument.

On the other hand, you haven't mentioned the Whigs or the Know-Nothings.

What happened to them?

Idk about the Know-Nothings, but the Whigs went the way Democrats are going.

 

[The Duke]

My party….

Passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill
CHIPS Act
Obamacare
Environmental Protection

What has your party accomplished in the last 25 years?

Fake Green New Energy Bill
Chips was already in the works
Obamacare is a disaster. Nothing but a step in the Cloward-Piven direction.
Environmental Protection like the bridge fail and train fire in MIssouri and Gold King Mine
disaster, really? FAIL!

 

[cnm]

Everything starts with Obama, according to white racists. Let's start with this fact: the Republican Party is dead.

Well, it's been rebranded, granted.

But the Democratic Party establishment is doing everything it can to guarantee the Republican Party's survival.

It resolutely and continually rejects basic desires of its imagined vote share, driving them away, preferring to fight for continued membership of the best aged care facility in the country.

 

[cnm]

So a democratically elected President who pushed a bill through Congress via votes from folks who were also democratically elected is now a dictatorship?

That's what a lot of the bill is about.

 

[Man With A Plan]

No, it’s because the party in power goes too far and pisses everybody off.

ie. The Tories in the UK

Wouldn't that be what the Democrats did with the open border? So have they swung the pendulum back on that? I'm not seeing it, Don't. I'm seeing them doubling down on that and going to the streets to riot over Trump's correction.

Infrastructure was roads, bridges, ports, railroad, comms network, water systems

Name one that has been fixed by now, then. None have. FAIL!
Just like the "broadband for all" thing. FAIL. Nothing even got going.

The only group that are having such a problem are white suburban Democrats.. Republican leadership is not young. It's time to stop allowing Republicans to own the narrative. Hakeem Jeffries is not old.

There was no open border, and when Democrats proposed a border bill endorsed by the Border Patrol, Trump sabotaged it. You don't want to see things. Trump is not correcting anything.

The first two years of Joe, authorized trillions and trillions of dollars and we have seen little.

 

[IM2]

Republicans have only won the popular vote in a presidential election twice in this century. So they really need to stop this. 86 million people did not vote for either candidate, which means Republicans are not liked either.

Railway workers didn't come off too well when a geriatric Democratic POTUS forced them back to work with a dime for their trouble.

 

[cnm]

He just acts like a geezer like Schumer. Jeffries is more concerned with donors than voters from what I've seen.

President Biden stood on a picket line with striking laborers. He is the first sitting president to have done that in the history of the United States. Trump didn’t do that, and in fact he showed up at a non-union business barking bad things about labor, yet he was the one who they said connected with the working class. Historian Eric Loomis gave Biden a higher grade on his labor policies than any president since FDR. The Biden/Harris administration awarded 36 billion dollars to save the pensions of over 350,000 workers when they saved the Central States Pension fund. This fund paid the pensions for warehouse workers, construction workers, truck drivers and food processors.
