[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what Democrats should do. Even after two months of Trump, they still poll below Republicans. Democrats are associated either with geriatric and compromised leaders like Schumer or with unpopular identity politics and performative virtue signaling. The only Democrats that I'm seeing who are breaking through and giving voice to the anger and outrage are [b]Bernie Sanders and AOC.[/b] I'm impressed with both of them. They are rising to the moment. And most importantly they are authentic. You can disagree with them, but at least you know where they stand. I think Democrats should follow their lead. Keep the focus on economic issues, fighting oligarchs, and Republican treachery. Be angry. Be outraged. Do town halls everywhere. Go grassroots. And for God's sake, understand the media universe these days. Babbling platitudes on Face the Nation is so 1983.  [/quote]

Are you insane? Two people who are guaranteed to tank the Dems. AOC in '32? Maybe. But just as with people voting for Trump because they couldn't take another 4 years of "Biden" in Kamala, voters will also hold their nose and vote for the R if their only other option is AOC. Bernie is too old.[/quote]

And here begets the problem.  “People couldn’t take another 4 years of "Biden" in Kamala,”.  Biden/Kamala who worked to bring down inflation and be sure our economy was the best following a global pandemic.  Biden/Kamala who invested in Green Jobs so we can actually have working class jobs.  Biden/Kamala  and Dems who pushed through an Infrastructure package that is soo badly needed to address Road/Bridges/Airports and much more. Same team passed USDA fresh food.   But because folks said yes we will acknowledge that Trans people deserve rights, folks are willing to blowup all the other stuff.

And yet still can’t answer, What has the GOP done for you?  Again, if folks think the GOP is the party that’s going to make everything right for all of the US, then why do the DEMS need to anything?  Surely what’s going on is exactly what folks wanted.[/quote]
