New polls show bad news for Democrats and they can only blame themselves.

    One possible explanation for the difference between the more positive response regarding party affiliation and the negative response regarding favorability is that a significant percentage of Democrat leaning voters are disappointed in what they consider the apparently weak response of the party's leadership to Trump's policies.

    It should also be noted that Democrats have been outperforming the expected results in the polls that matter i.e special elections.

    Democratic performance is improving in a slew of special elections, as a weary party looks for signs of hope

    How about the part that FIRES federal employees because they put out a report that the president does not agree with, simply because the president has gone around announcing that his first six months of his current term is the best in the history of the U.S., and the report is clear evidence that this is not true. He accuses the report writer of lying on the report without evidence, and fires her. Sounds like textbook fascism to me.


    Re: immigrants.

    What if getting rid of the Mexican immigrants is devastating for the U.S. economy? What if no Americans step up and offer to install roofs, pick fruits and vegetables, and work in meat packing factories for minimal wages? Are you going to volunteer for one or more of those jobs? Take one for the team? Hmmm?

    Yes, that's much more important than preserving democracy and stopping fascism. Why can't they understand what's important? I'm flummoxed. The HELL with democracy. Not playing women in men's sports is MUCH more important. Where are my priorities?

    For all of Corey Booker’s mean-facing, never once did he articulate what all that means.

    Is Corey Booker gonna be the one to tell the fringes how they are indeed the fringes?

    I mean telling the trans community that they welcome to be in it but not driving the car may be uncomfortable, but it’s both real and fair.

    Until I see Booker mean face that message he’s just another dude saying stuff.

    Do you not understand that compared to the end of democracy and the concomitant endorsement of fascism, this means next to nothing? Keep worrying about transsexuals. That is MUCH more important than preserving democracy and fighting off the end of the country we have had for more than two hundred years. That's what Trump wants you to do instead of preventing him from becoming our dictator. Congratulations on pleasing him and his merry band of fascists!

    Apparently you don’t understand that is indeed my worry, and these non-fights are facilitating it.

    While D’s fight these 0.5% fights they lose the 10% in the middle that are aren’t entrenched in theatrics and YouTube histrionics.

    If you want to stave off the 4th Reich, get off the clown wagon.

    By “you” I mean actual elected officials. This foot-stomping from Mean Face Booker is farcical until he says HOW.

    He is mad-baby-foot-stomping all around the giant elephant in the room. Boo effing hoo Corey, widdle cutie-poo!
