Top Democrats Question Their Party’s Strategy as Midterm Worries Grow

T. A. Gardner said:
Yes, Democrats really are that stupid.

Issues that apparently matter to Democrats and the Left:

Abortion
Getting Trump convicted on something (aka Jan 6)
Greentard stuff
Retaining power

Issues that apparently matter to the other 80% of the population:

The economy and inflation
Energy prices
Open borders and illegal immigration
Supply chain shortages
Keeping the lights on versus playing at saving the planet

The Democrats don't get it. As James Carville, strategist for Bill Clinton put it succinctly, "It's the economy stupid!" Yes, the Democrats are stupid.

Indeed, T.A , great post but evidently, the Democrats are too stupid to admit that they are completely out of touch with hard working Americans.
 
T. A. Gardner said:
No, she questioned the outcome of an election just as a multitude of other people before her have done--Democrat, Republican, and independent alike. Unless you are willing to admit that there is a mass of Democrats, and many prominent ones like Al Gore and Hillary Clinton that have questioned and claimed election outcomes were bad, then you got nothing.
Lake's position is that questioning elections is nothing new, both parties do it, and it is reasonable to do so. The current Democrat position, and apparently yours, is that questioning elections is okey doaky when Democrats do it but evil and wrong when Republicans do it.

That's what an election denier is.

So, you admit that there are lots and lots of Democrats that are election deniers too...

There have been, sure - though that list of Lake's has a lot of silly stuff, like Clinton smiling when someone said she won the election.

Hillary Clinton conceded. Al Gore conceded. These are big differentiators. Abrams didn't, but scale matters. Trump has done tremendous damage to our republic by comparison.

So, you admit that you were wrong when you said Kari Lake is not an election denier?

Hillary still to this day says the 2016 election was somehow rigged. Al Gore conceded only after the Supreme Court weighed in and stopped recounts in Florida. If they hadn't done that, the election would have stalled for possibly months in political fighting with Gore looking for a few more votes in the Nth recount in only Democrat friendly voting districts.

Trump was nothing compared to Gore and the Hildabeast is on a level playing field with him. Oh, there were much larger riots that went on much longer after the 2016 election so don't go there either...

The FL recounts were allowed by FL law. Gore made a mistake in making them selective - but he had every right to pursue those. And as you correctly point out - he CONCEDED when that avenue was shut off.

Hillary conceded too. The day after the election. Both urged their supporters to unite behind the new President. This is a vital American political tradition, and it's done for a reason.

As usual, you're in denial about Trump. By comparison, he has absolutely destroyed election integrity. Nothing Gore or Clinton did is even in the same ballpark. Statistics and polls back that up.

So, you admit that you were wrong when you said Kari Lake is not an election denier?
 
In any civilized nation, the equivalent to our Democratic Party would be the furthest RIGHT party on the ballot, and people like our Republicans would be in prison.

There will be some interest as long as we are hearing new information and starting to convict for seditious conspiracy. The last videos by Alexandra Pelosi were revealing. Democrats won't be happy until they charge Trump for something. They want to stretch the coverage until the 2024 election. The Republicans will start some investigation when they take control of the House they hope will affect the election---but there is no real interest in Hunter.

Glad that doesn't exist here. We don't need people in prison for their political views.

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has sounded alarm bells that Democrats are struggling to motivate working-class voters. Former President Barack Obama, who is traveling the country to campaign in some of the tightest races for Senate and governor, urged Democrats not to be “a buzz kill” by making people feel as if they were “walking on eggshells” when it came to issues like race and gender.

And several prominent Democrats have worried that their party has not fully acknowledged the pain of rising prices — or effectively pointed the finger at Republicans over the higher costs.

Are Democrats really this stupid? "Trump organized a violent coup on Jan. 6. The GOP supports him." That is all the Democrats should be saying.

Brandonpresident, nobody cares about Jan6. Get a clue.
Maybe this explains a lot for those still fixated on Trump,

New study links suffering from long-lasting severe depression to reduction in brain volume
A study on a large sample of patients found chronic, long-lasting depression to be associated with reduced brain volume. The reduced volume was found in brain regions relevant for planning one’s behavior, focusing attention, thinking, learning and remembering and also in regions relevant for regulating emotions.

That's why this nation has become a dumpster fire.

I like the Pollyanna ideals as well, but real life has made it pretty goddamned evident that they don't work.

You've been saying for TWO FUCKING YEARS and by all indications next Tuesday you morons will lose control but you still think THATS the solution to your problem. So to answer your question, yes democrats really are that stupid. The democracy threat narrative doesnt work, but i say keep on doing it.
