Im shocked its not lower.
Never listen to a centrist again when they tell you “how things have to be” to win an election.
If you gave all of Harris’s votes to the next leading progressive presidential candidate they’d still lose the election.
That’s how popular progressive policies are.
Popular enough to take a candidate from polling at 8% to disrupting dynasties in 60 days.
Keep pretending that Democrats want conservatives and you’ll keep losing elections for us. Maybe go be a Republican instead?
If you’re taking about Mandani I’m rooting for him but there’s no one nationally trying what he’s done and there’s no one going after the midterms yet so progressives are currently doing what they always do which is nothing but fight with each other.
Wow, good job! You remembered to inhale and exhale! I know that must be very hard to keep track of for you.
Sometimes I mix the two up and it sucks to exhale when I’ve got nothing left in my lungs.
While 76 percent of Republicans say they are satisfied with the direction of the country
What the absolute fuck?? These fucking people would be happy with the direction of north Korea. Decades of relentless propaganda have really done a number on these people and destroyed their critical thinking
When they are unseated in the midterms, we should deport them to pyongyang
Unseat Republicans? I remind you that faith in the DNC is also near it’s lowest. There are ZERO independents in the house and TWO in the senate (Bernie Sanders and Angus King).
It would take record breaking volunteering for the DNC across every state to fix that, or otherwise it would take a cataclysmic event.
Imagine you were a vaguely decent “Republican”, who sees what Trump is doing and his the broader party is enabling him, and dislikes it.
When you get polled, what are the chances that you decide to identify as independent rather than claim that Republican affiliation soon?
How do those protest votes feel now, assholes?
(to those voters, obvs)
Currently democrats are having a registration crisis while Republicans are having a boom, so pretty good?
Like you’d think those numbers would be opposite, maybe they are a continued indictment of the DNC democratic party that continues to ignore any candidate who has organic support like Mamdami.
Never underestimate DNC’s ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I dropped Dem for DSA in 2016.
I was just listening to an explanation of this effectively fake bit of information this morning. Basically, at least in MA and other states like it, both dems and republicans saw a drop in registration because registrations work differently now. Where registrations are automatic, they don’t default to a party affiliation and you have to actively select such, which most people aren’t going to do. As a result, an absolutely enormous proportion of registrations are now unaffiliated and BOTH parties are more or less taking a hit–however, because Dems get more registrations historically anyway and many of those are now no longer going in to register just party affiliation, they seem disproportionately hit. End of the day, not much is really changing that we can understand from the voting registrations, but we’ll see what happens in the midterms.
Oh interesting, i haven’t heard that fluffy little bit of cope. Every publication I’ve seen that’s covering the initial NYT drop is confirming the results from 4 years of data and they have a dozen bullet points of explanation.
But I haven’t heard that very comfy sounding one yet, you have the podcast link or article i can dig into?
This was discussed in the latest episode of the Horse Race. It’s a MA politics and news podcast so that was their focus. I’ve no idea how this relates to other states
Given that democrats are going along with fascism and throwing progressives under the bus after the primary, vindicating.
Keep crying instead of fighting trump
you’d have to be braindead to be happy with the state of the US right now.
Unfortunately a lot of Americans are.
So they are going to change their electoral tactics, right?
Right???
Yes the ones who voted this time will sit out next time
0% of Democrats happy with state of the US right now
MAGA: That’s how we know we’re doing the right thing!
Got nobody to blame but themselves and their Repuglican butt buddies
I voted for Harris. Republicans aren’t my butt buddies (nice gay slur there btw, fuckhead).
So go fuck yourself.
Yet they keep supporting Republicans at ever corner, at every step. If. A Republican drops something, a Democrat will go “ohh, let me get that for you”
What the fuck has been going on with the US for like the past 6 decades or so?
GOOD.
EDIT: Maybe next time they’ll actually go out and vote.
Happy to vote in a primary and not have a candidate coronated by the party heads yet again
Primary results are decided by number of votes.
Candidates you liked were invited to participate in the primary by the party heads.
K. Happy to have a primary to decide the will of the voters and who they would like to be the nominee instead of a coronation by the crooks in the DNC
i can see why

Nobody purity tests more than the democratic party. Back in 2016 they were screaming “NO MORE OLD WHITE MEN” at Bernie, then putting their full force behind biden four years later. The democratic party has every excuse under the sun for why a candidate shouldn’t be allowed through their completely party-controlled primaries but demands everyone submits to their pick, even if their pick supports genocide with billions in weapons, just as long as that candidate assures the rich that “nothing will fundamentally change” as things continue to get worse for everyone else.
Why are you blaming leftists anyway? If the big-brained geniuses at the democratic party calculate that leftists are so insignificant as to not bother listening to them, then how are they to blame when the democratic party loses against a clown yet again?
There were not even acceptable ones from DNC, they were not good for workers, not good for cost of living, not good for foreign policy, possibly just for lgbt and other social issues , but social issues can’t be first things
Oh for fucks sake. Ya think?
Gallup’s polling found Republicans were essentially just as dissatisfied with the direction of the country in July last year as Democrats are today. However, the partisan gap at the time was 35 points because only 36 percent of Democrats were satisfied with the country’s direction at the time.
ouch
