        Maybe if they support genocide even harder, do even less to hold wealthy criminals accountable, throw even more minorities under the bus, and get a few more Cheneys on board, they will peel off exactly one republican vote.

        Aw, who am I kidding? They would happily do that regardless of how few votes they got.

    The poll surveyed 1,006 adults across the U.S. and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, at the 95 percent confidence level.

    Not a very good poll, IMO. However:

    Of fucking course their polling is low. They’ve sat with their thumbs up their ass this entire presidency. That’s after running a terrible presidential campaign, that came on the coattails of another terrible presidential campaign, that came on the coattails of a terrible presidency.

    My surprise level: 0%

    Yeah, because they suck as Democrats. They aren’t even good Republicans. They are just greedy, unappealing people who don’t have a conscience when they have to do their job of representing their constituents.

    Democratic leadership also sucks so they would rather keep their like-minded predators than have anyone with empathy and personality gain a leadership role.

    Good, give away two supreme Court seats, neglect to put protections into law and abdicate congressional authority to the executive is solidly on their shoulders. The Republicans have been very public with their goals for decades and the Democrats still insisted they could negotiate.

    Dealing with an emergency and all they have is old men who don’t have what it takes to take on the rabid GOP. Never understood why the US system is dominated by such old people.

      They should just gate the whole American leadership and treat it like a giant old age home at this point

      Tell them all that they’ve been sworn in for a lifetime and just pump them all with anti psychotic drugs, pretend that they are actually doing things and having meetings and just contain them all for the rest of their lives.

        Only because that’s the way the Democratic party decides it is. Republicans don’t follow the same practice. These are informal rules agreed upon internally, not anything legally binding

        And to get seniority you need to stay in office and to stay in office you need money and to get stable money you need corporate money and there’s always something they want in return.
