Many Americans Say the Democratic Party Does Not Share Their Priorities

[CFordUNC]

Because a majority of people on the left support it. Not a single dem senator voted for something the common folks left voter supports. Just more ammunition the right has to show how out of touch the party is and to further drive home the message that the left is waging war on women.

lol. You clearly have no understanding of politics. There is no incentive for the Democratic Party to help the Republican Party pass any legislation whatsoever. None. The Republicans have majorities in both houses of Congress. Either get your shit passed on your own, or present legislation that features enough concessions to warrant support from the minority party. Can’t do that? Tough luck, buttercup. Kudos to those 45 Democratic Senators for not playing into the GOP’s transparently pathetic political theater.

Also, best of luck to the GOP getting people to give a shit about transgender people playing sports next year this time when we are balls deep in the worst economic recession in generations!

Stfu, the left waging war on women? You are almost too stupid to insult.

I will shit on your stupid redneck cranium if it's the last thing I do. Special thanks to the worldwide internet for making shit like that easy!!

So let me guess - Calla is somehow blaming Democrats for the majority Republicans being unable to pass their own legislation? Typical. Somehow, in some way, every Republican failure is the fault of Democrats. And even the victories they love to crow about - like Dear Leader beating Hillary and Kamala - is somehow chalked up to Democratic failures or weakness, not because Trump himself is actually popular. Even when they have total control of all levels of government and are gleefully riding roughshod over DC Democrats and the supposed "Deep State" Republicans still persist in seeing themselves as underdog outsiders. I hate to tell them, but they're the Deep State now, and they can no longer credibly play the victim or keep pretending that they're the underdogs, not that they ever really were.

I understand enough to know that the voters in your party repeatedly talk about how out of touch their representatives are and this is just another example of that. And that your party’s messaging is shit so I’m good with the way the vote went down because:

Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you” has instantly taken its place alongside the most effective political slogans in American election history, with “Morning in America”, the iconic ad that launched Ronald Reagan’s 1984 campaign and Barack Obama’s 2008 slogan: “Yes We Can”.

So then why didn’t Republicans get 60 votes if this is such a no-brainer of a popular piece of legislation supported by even the broad Democratic base? Should have been a walk in the park to get that sucker passed!

Dems have no leadership. Jasmin Crocket and JB Pritzker appear to have a pulse, though.

American actually agree with Dems POLICIES.

Dems have milquetoasted their response against mis/disinformation.

Blaming? I’m celebrating today’s vote. An overwhelming majority support the ban but every dem senator voted against it. That’s gold for the midterms. And since this thread is about the dem party being out of touch, this was just another example.

I cannot possibly beg the Republican Party enough to run on the transgender issue next fall, when inflation is at 8%, unemployment is at 6%, GDP growth is backpedaling faster than a defensive back trying not to get beat over the top, and we’re in the deepest and most prolonged recession in decades all because of Trump’s braindead economic policies. Cannot beg them enough. Please do it, Pubs. We believe in you! Tell MeeMaw and PeePaw that they might have lost their Medicaid and their disability and their veterans benefits and their cheap prescriptions, but by golly those four or five transgender people don’t get to play sports!

Cannot. beg. them. enough.

Lol you think saying fuck off = leadership? You guys have leaders but you seem to focus on the wrong ones.

If that happens then you may have a point. Until then, you guys seem to mis every single chance to show you have an ounce of common sense. Today was just another example of shooting yourselves ti the ass.

So, you don't actually care about the issues? Or at least this one in particular? I'm trying to figure out where on the hypocrisy scale this registers. This does give an awful lot of insight into why you thought we would all be happy about the way the Trump/Vance/Zelinski meltdown went.

Newsflash...my brain isn't controlled by party based animus the way yours is.

Oh they absolutely will, I guarantee you. That's what they've really been running on for decades - culture war issues. "Maybe you've lost your home and are living out of your fifteen-year old car going from town to town begging for work, and we've cut the social safety net so there's nothing for you to fall back on, but look over here at this transgender person! Your family is starving, but it's all worth it to keep this person from playing women's sports, ain't it?"

Agreed, the Democratic leadership response to all of this has been disappointing to say the least. I'm sure some will say they're playing the long game and just letting the Republicans dig their own grave, but to be honest I don't think they're capable of doing that. I think they've been mostly silent because they're as frightened and intimidated as Congressional Republicans and have no real response. A few weeks ago there was a news article about Congressional Democrats which said they had just been "overwhelmed" by Trump's EOs and publicity blitz and were still trying to work out some kind of response. How could they not have known that something like this was going to happen - it was out there for everyone to see (Project 2025, DOGE, etc.) Thank God for people like AOC and Pritzker and Chris Murphy who have been out there making some strong statements and forcefully pointing out what's going on.

“….Thank God for people like AOC and Pritzker and Chris Murphy who have been out there making some strong statements and forcefully pointing out what's going on.”

Your last sentence exemplifies why the Democrats don’t have a unified message countering Trump, Musk, and Project 2025.

You’ve cited a congresswoman, a Senator, and a Governor. None of them are party leaders. The Democrats don’t hold the Speaker’s Office or the Senate Majority Leader.

No Democratic governor or senator is a national figure. The Democratic opposition will be dozens or hundreds of voices.

It’s the nature of being the opposition party. Add that to Trump being 24/7 news and who will surface as the Democratic leader?

It’ll be the person who wins the Democratic nomination in 2028.

Once again, as I have said before, Kamala didn't mention trans people (people who actually exist, less than 1% of the population) once during her campaign.

Guess who did. Trump nonstop. Because he knew stupid rubes exactly like you would lap it up like Ralphie drinking Ovaltine.

You acknowledging the existence of a marginalized group has to be like Columbus discovering America. Shocked to a level that your rube brain can't comprehend.

You are a culture war bitch, who cries wolf incessantly.

 

[HintonJamesHeel]

Democrats are the party that’s good at governing but so so so so bad at messaging. Because they are so bad at messaging, nothing else matters.

To the majority of the country right now, they are a party focused on letting men play women’s sports, pro-Palestine and the party fighting against funding fraud in the federal government.

They need a leader who can be the point person to communicate why those are inaccurate but unfortunately they do not have that.

That commercial about the tax payer funded sex changes for prisoners was a real motherfucker. Folks were all up in a tizzy about it. I'll give the fascists some credit. They nailed that one. KAMALA IS FOR THEY/THEM. TRUMP IS FOR YOU. Those of us who aren't in the cult know that Trump is, in fact, not for you. Trump is for Trump. Trump is for Elon and most certainly without a shadow of a doubt Trump is for Putin (his daddy). Still, it was an effective political ad. Between the millions AND MILLIONS of transgender prisoners having tax payer funded sex changes and those goddamn expensive eggs we never stood a chance.

Fascists are effective, I will grant them that. Rube brains are moldable, like play dough. I am almost 100% sure a war is coming. Once enough stupid rubes realize they have fucked themselves and everyone they know.

In about 2 years.

Be safe MOUNTAINH33L, I will look to the stars, and hope for your good fortune!

My cousin got into a still unresolved fight with my aunt the day after the Elon Musk Nazi salute. It ended up with my cousin saying, you realize these fascists want to take away all the rights from my sister in law, someone YOU have spent a lot of time with and you claim to love. My aunt replied "I can't believe you would choose trans people over your mother..."

This is the future. Choose everyone over the fascists. Tell them they are wrong, fucking despicable and are going to lose. I'm not sure of the time-line of their loss, but I hope to see it in the next 40 years
