Survey: Democrats Favor Moderate Stance for 2028 Candidate

[jacksonlamb]

Which is why I question this poll. THey are running a Vegan who believes there are six genders, IN TEXAS. Running a Nazi in Maine. ...

The party has (irretrievably?) lost it's way. I thank God my dad is not around to see it.

Talarico is none of that, Rawley. Keep dreaming, because your nightmare is coming.

Of course our elected representatives and senators are supposed to represent all of their respective constituencies. That’s not exactly breaking news.

Then why don't they? Why do Presidents regularly sign bills that pass Congress on a pure party-line vote?? The reason is that both parties have signed on to the "culture war" circle jerk. And they'd rather fear monger than build consensus for a decent platform.

 

[buckeye]

Yes, that is exactly how most active Dems feel.

Transsexuality and immigration should not be "litmus" tests.

Then stop supporting the giant mouthes that run your party.

When you stop supporting Trumpers?

52 percent say Democratic presidential nominee should move party to center​

More than half of likely Democratic voters in a new survey said the party’s next presidential candidate should reposition the party ideologically along more moderate lines.

The New York Times/Sienna poll released Wednesday found that 52 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning respondents believe the party’s 2028 presidential nominee must move the party back to the center in order to win.

When asked about specific issues, 50 percent of respondents said they would like the candidate to move the party to the center on crime and 46 percent on immigration. On the issue of healthcare, 45 percent said they would like the candidate to move the Democratic Party to the left, while about a quarter each said they should stay the same or move it to the center.

Fifty-five percent of Democrats said they are generally satisfied with the party, while only 31 percent of Democratic-leaning independent voters said the same. Ninety-eight percent of voters in this independent group expressed dissatisfaction with the Republican Party.

I am firmly in that majority of Democrats that understand that our party will destroy itself if it doesn't move the center and quickly. After our last Democrat president, it is difficult to imagine voters saying, "let's do that again!"

Of course the most radical among us get all the attention from the media, so a moderate who focuses on governing well and improving the lives of their constituents is ignored because they are too busy giving a platform to radical Muslims who have managed to obtain U.S. citizenship and become office holders, and Gen Zers who grew up middle class and then ran for office in a working class area thinking the masses are gullible.

I've noticed that there are almost no posters on here willing to say "I'm a Democrat." I can understand why; I assume such posters are moderate Democrats unwilling and unable to defend frontrunner (per the media) Kamala Harris. I get how that's hard, but it's not what we need to do.

We need to promote moderate Dems. We don't have to claim that they are perfect, pure, and have all the answers. We just need to say that they - like Democrats have always - love the United States, care about the working class, and admire the successful.

The trouble is that the democrats have already cemented themselves into hate for TRUMP!. I don't think the leadership is capable of moderating.

So it is all about form instead of substance? We already know what happens when we turn over the White House to them. You people seem to have sold your souls to the Devil.

 

[TNHarley]

Big distinction. False either way.

Nobody is sending our forces “to die for other countries.”

Your petty-ass sound bites are absurd.

Liberals are for small central govt. You leftists are not.
Of course, that is complete BS.

 

[buckeye]

The majority of what Trump is doing is what he said he was going to do.

If you leave out the Iran war.

 

[dblack]

If you leave out the Iran war.

And the Big Bloated Boondoggle.

[BackAgain]

Then why don't they?

Again, they do.

Why do Presidents regularly sign bills that pass Congress on a pure party-line vote??

Because it would be pretty difficult to sign legislation that hasn’t been enacted.

The reason is that both parties have signed on to the "culture war" circle jerk. And they'd rather fear monger than produce a decent platform.

No. That’s not the reason.

The actual reason is that the process is akin to making hotdogs.

We talk a good game about accepting the need for some “compromise” But it does tend to lead to watered-down “solutions” to the problems being addressed.

Also, I see it as a reflection on the meaning of “compromise.” It is one thing to compromise on some aspects of a proposed Act; but it is another thing entirely to compromise one’s fundamental beliefs.

 

[martybegan]

If you leave out the Iran war.

Opportunity to get rid of something we have had to deal with since 1979.

The world will be a better place with a nice Constitutional Monarchy Iran.

 

[dblack]

Again, they do.


Because it would be pretty difficult to sign legislation that hasn’t been enacted.

But not at all difficult to veto a bill that doesn't have broad support.

I'll vote for the first candidate, from any party, who makes a believable pledge to do so.

 

[BackAgain]

Liberals are for small central govt.

That’s completely false.

You leftists are not.

I’m not a leftist — regardless of how many times you repeat that false claim. And l, I do favor smaller government.

Of course, that is complete BS.

You mean the crap you keep mindlessly and dishonestly spewing? That does qualify as complete bullshit.

 

[buckeye]

When you stop supporting Trumpers?

When Trumpers start supporting changing the sex of children based on their fantasies or forcing females to compete in sports with screwed up males or allowing long time criminals to not pay a price for their crimes or favoring one race over another or opening our borders to every degenerate in the world, I'll think about what you say here.

I hate the Iran war, but pretty much support what Trump has done.

Leftists are insane today, flat out insane.

 

[progressive hunter]

 

[buckeye]

And the Big Bloated Boondoggle.

I supported most of that. Better to overspend by giving tax cuts To US than fraudulent NGOs that kicks back to the democrat party.

 

[TNHarley]

That’s completely false.

I’m not a leftist — regardless of how many times you repeat that false claim. And l, I do favor smaller government.

You mean the crap you keep mindlessly and dishonestly spewing? That does qualify as complete bullshit.

Its literally the definition of a liberal.
You support leftist policies. You are a leftist.
How does a supporter of trump policies favor small government? Please elaborate on that moonbattery.

 

[buckeye]

I don't ever see that for Iran. I hope it, but I can't see it.

Too bad they don't have any moderates. They either expelled them from the party, or killed them all.
