Poll: Possible Path Forward for Democrats - "The divisions are clear, but there’s more common ground than one might expect within the coalition"

Poll Suggests a Possible Path Forward for Democrats - Nate Cohn
You’re reading The Tilt newsletter. Nate Cohn, The Times’s chief political analyst, makes sense of the latest political data.

Dante is not...

"A surprisingly clear majority of the Democratic coalition is mostly fine with where the party stands on the issues overall. Only 20 percent say it’s “too far” to the left; only 17 percent say it’s “too far” to the right. The dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party seems less about its ideology and more about its failures to stop President Trump — whether in the last election or once in government.

With Democrats generally satisfied with the party’s ideological position, the poll arguably contains the outlines of a potential path forward for the party. Respondents offered relatively clear answers on three basic questions that have divided the party since the last election: They say Democrats should embrace economic populism, oppose aid to Israel and find modest ways to shift toward the center on the cultural issues thought to have contributed to President Trump’s victory in 2024."

...surprised. Dante, does not follow the crowd. Our own observations and analysis has us agreeing with most all of what Nate Cohn reads in this poll Times/Sienna poll. Many Americans are far too comfortable with their lifestyle vs alternatives proposed, by the left within the party. Outside of the party? Bernie is Not a Democrat. Like Trump, he's a sideshow act in the unfolding experiment we call Democracy in America.

Both parties agree where it counts.
Israel and Jews.
In a captured nation, the only issues that matter are issues of the ruling class.

The issues is not whether Dems think they are too right or too left. The Dem party already has the support of Dem voters.

They need to convince the independents to vote for them. And many of them think the mainstream Dem party is nutsy-kookoo. So far left, it's horseshoeing to the far right.

They also don't have Trump Derangement and need a better reason than "Orange Man Bad" to vote D.

Actually the clear majority of the Democratic coalition involves the Independents who went with the Democrats ad those supposedly sitting on the proverbial fence.

"This week’s New York Times/Siena poll, there’s a lot more common ground than one might expect within the Democratic coalition — a group defined here as Democrats, Democratic-leaning independents and independents who voted for Ms. Harris."

See? Your screed shows it is you who is suffering with some kind of derangement syndrome.

Jew-Troll elsewhere Bubba...

Dante asks others to just ignore this Troll's posts.

Ok. They're perfect. No need to change even a tiny bit. Run Harris again in 2028. I'm sure it'll work out fine for the Dems.
