What If It's Not Woke And Identity Politics That Sunk The Democrats?

I converted to Catholicism.

So you are verifying the reports?

God Bless.

I see it as a promising turn of events for America, and therefore, for the world.

Jacobin Mag, a socialist supporter of the Democrat Party ran some polls that may surprise many.


1. "A recent CNN/SSRS poll from March 2025 found that just 29 percent of Americans hold a favorable view of the Democratic Party....This overwhelmingly negative public sentiment toward the Democrats was confirmed by a new study of voters in four Rust Belt states (Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) conducted by the Center for Working-Class Politics (CWCP), the Labor Institute, and Rutgers University. It found that over 70 percent of Rust Belt voters hold a negative view of the party.



2. ...there was a discernable negative effect of running as a Democrat versus running as an independent....the survey tested respondents’ favorability toward economic populist candidates who employed identical language around corporate greed, lowering costs, and protecting jobs — except that some were described as Democrats and others as independents.....Democrats performed 10 to 16 points worse in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio than otherwise identical independents delivering the same pitch.


3. ...the CWCP/Labor Institute/Rutgers researchers wanted to know why so many people dislike the Democratic Party,...Contrary to many analyses that have blamed Democrats for holding extreme positions on social and cultural issues that alienated swing voters, the dominant theme we observed was voters’ anger at the Democratic Party for failing to deliver. Among Democratic and independent respondents, the most common critique of the Democratic Party was its perceived inability to carry out policies that help ordinary people.


4..... substantial percentages of both independents and Republicans stressed that they felt the Democratic Party is untrustworthy, either because they lie or because they are corrupt. One Republican respondent reported feeling that the Democratic Party “has become extremely corrupt while pointing the blame at others. [They are] more interested in helping themselves than helping their constituents.” Along similar lines, an independent respondent charged that the Democrats were the “party of the rich and fraudulent.”
Only 11 percent of independents and 19 percent of Republicans explicitly mentioned “wokeness” or ideological extremism in their description of the Democratic Party.


5. ....the evidence suggests most voters who hold negative views of the Democratic Party are motivated less by the culture war than by a broader judgment that the party is captured by elites and not delivering tangible gains for working people.If Democrats have any hope of capitalizing on Republicans’ increasing political vulnerabilities, they need to work tirelessly to show skeptical voters — who feel burned by decades of false promises — that they are serious about reclaiming the mantle of America’s party of the working class."

Gallup Poll:

Neither Party Dominates in Favorability or Trust​

by Lydia Saad

Story Highlights​

• Republicans’ lead as party trusted more to keep country safe has shrunk
• Parties now tied in views of which is better for keeping country prosperous
• Americans tend to like GOP on issues, Democrats on political values

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans continue to see the Republican Party as better than the Democratic Party for protecting the U.S. from international threats, 48% to 41%, though the margin has narrowed since last year. However, the same survey, which began before the government shutdown and the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, also finds the GOP has lost its advantage as the party better for keeping the country prosperous.

In both cases, Republicans’ weaker position is mainly the result of fewer Americans than a year ago preferring the Republican Party for these responsibilities, not because of increased confidence in the Democratic Party to handle them.

I've read that large segments of the young democraphic have returned to religion, that would help the Republicans.


Any view about that?

Can confirm.

My church (Orthodox Christian) currently has 110 catechumens, and the vast majority of them are under 30.

In the past, we've had around 20-30 at any given time, max.

Republicans have run on identity politics for 60 years.

AI Overview

The phrase "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other" was famously stated by John Adams. Adams believed that a republic depends on the virtue of its citizens and that laws alone are not enough to preserve freedom without a foundation of morality and religious principles to guide individual behavior. His statement was a warning that a republic cannot function properly if its people lack moral and religious restraint.

AOC on the horizon

If AOC is their candidate for 2028, that bodes very well for the GOP as well as the country. She went from being the clown posing at the border fence crying at an empty field to fully embracing a Communist candidate for NYC Mayor. She is no more electable than Kamala and possibly more divisive.

Seems to be a large segment of the Democrat voting block.

The same is true for the GOP if Communist Mamdani wins the NYC mayor's vote.

It won't play well in the swing states to have this albatross hung around the Democrat Party's neck.

Said a Republican who is lying to himself. White grievance is identity politics, and Repubicans have used that since the Civil Rights Act was passed. It's funny how white republicans see things. Whites aren't a race(unless someone of color points out the white racism) to you, so when whites are complaining about anti white things they imagine, it's not race or identity. But if Democrats call out the overt racist messages presented by Republicans it's identity politics. If whites complain about things like DEI, it's not playing the race card or identity politics, but if the racism inherent in their complaining is called out or opposed, then it's playing the race card or identity politics.

It's funny how Repubicans think.

I must compliment you.
This is far more articulate, if bizarre and fallacious, than you usually present.


As you know, I am not white.

What are White grievances??????

Oppressed by blacks?

Censorship?

Cancle culture?



Try this: are there any policies of Trump's that you agree with?
How about cutting down on crime in DC?

As I know, you are an Asian who hates herself for being Asian. You went to an Ivy League school; you know what white grievance is. No. There are no policies of Trump's that I agree with. I don't support racists. Trump hasn't cut down crime anywhere, and soldiers in cherry-picked cities are not the answer.

This is the real problem.

Nothing you say is true, and I don't believe you don't know that.


Do you see that you just verified this from the OP:

What a mean racist thing to say to the champion of this board.

what else.

You're in way over your head bro,

But its fun for the rest of us.
You're in the ring with the best.

I wish that were true, but the truth is a Republican can't get elected in NYC right now. They're too far gone.

They need to elect Mamdani, let him burn the city to the ground, and then they can rebuild smarter. Hopefully.

Either that, or NYC becomes a bigger version of Chicago, Detroit, Oakland, etc. Completely lost.

[IM2]

I'm not concerned about your OP. Just sit back and watch Republicans get voted out of DC next year as the things Trump does get more and more extreme. You are laboring under a delusion, and this last weekend should have been a wake-up call. But like every other right-wing stooge, you will deny what was shown to you, and when Republicans get voted out, you will cry about a fix.
