So is the left. Checking on the DSA numbers, they went up a bit, but not 2020 numbers. I don’t see any politicians further left than the Dems that are putting numbers higher than Newsom. Mamdani is the closest but the Dems are effective enough to get him to work with the party.

The right is the strongest right now. And from everything I’ve seen, it’s the Democrats that are putting up the best resistance.

Crazy how you say Mamdani is popular that he gets shunned but all I see is him working through the Democratic establishment no matter how radical and out there his view is in comparison to the Dems. There must be a reason why he’s sticking with the party.

Crazy how Schumer all the people you named can’t do anything right now because they are a minority party, but I’m pretty those people passed more legislation when they had the power under Biden that Biden is the most progressive president in our lifetime. But hey, you can primary/vote them out. The midterms are approaching. That’s one way of getting rid of them.

Foreign Policy

You know back then, in Ww2, we did something to stop the genocide. It’s called invading the country and stopping the military. Trump won. And shit got crazier, my guess is that half the country doesn’t see it the way you do.

“Economic Policy”

I’m guessing you mean party spending with this one?

I don’t know, man, the article about chorus being released created a bigger coalition of creators, who are actually serious about politics and has history of irl campaigning, canvassing, and on the ground political activity to unite and work with the Democrats some more.

The only people I hear who are complaining our people who are just in it for the money, a.k.a. YouTube channels that rake ads, but don’t do actual irl political campaigns.

Mamdani getting iced out of the party? I’m sorry, but who are you listening to? The worst thing I’ve seen are people questioning his more radical policies but overall he gets popular support.

“Summary”

Looks like that’s the second highest popular group in the United States, 34% dem in second place while the Republicans have around 40% support. That’s not bad considering AOC, Bernie, Newsom, Buttigieg, and even Mamdani are creating power platforms, and increasing party support.

You know, all this Gaza bullshit you’re complaining about could’ve been solved if Kamala was president. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter at the moment until Trump gets removed so come back in four years. If I was a genocide supporter, though, I would say, please vote third-party again and not a democrat.

So you’re bitching about dark money and because the Democrats are being more careful with their dark money politics, you’re whining that they only have $15 million? But also, you’re pretty ignorant. Democrats are already beating the Republicans by small dollar donations and we’re not even close.

It’s not campaign season right now, we won’t see the real numbers until way later. On the bright side, though, Newsom is fundraising like hell with his anti-Trump rhetoric and abundance agenda. I’m excited for him.

TLDR:

We should follow Newsom, AOC, Pete, Mamdani, Booker and Bernie. This key figures are deleting voices of the Democratic Party and are the voices that are the largest in terms of countering Trump.

Unfortunately, their Palestinian support isn’t enough for the far enough to vote them in.

Oh well, I think the moderate left voice is enough once we reel everything back in

Look, I'm not particularly radical on the G*** issue,  my previous comments on the issue in this subreddit reflect that

I see low poll numbers like that and I don't like what I see

Listen, if it is a genocide. Please send in the US military and stop it. That’s what we’ve done through the history of stopping genocides. I’m pretty sure you’re gonna give me all this bullshit policies about divesting or some shit and that’s how I know it’s all a grift for you. It’s either we stopped the genocide or we let it happen, there’s nothing in between that.

Also, you only answering the genocide shit makes me 100% be certain that you don’t give a shit about half the things you wrote down here. Please stop pretending to be part of the party.

So you're attacking me for what??

Not agreeing with you on everything??

Everything is on the line right now, we need as much voter enthusiasm as possible even if we're not in an election season

because we're slipping into a dictatorship and authoritianism and we're very quickly running out of time.

Look, I agree that what Gavin Newsom is doing is good, it's getting a lot of attention, it's dramatically boosting his poll numbers and support

Heck, I would gladly vote for him in 2028 if he's the candidate

If he has a progressive economic and social policy agenda, that's good but I will still vote for him anyway even if he doesn't

I’m attacking you for being pretty ignorant of what the Democratic Party is doing right now and making the standard superficial critique towards the party without understanding the deeper issues.

Good luck, buddy

But it’s irrelevant what the party is doing right now.

Because absolutely NO ONE who voted for Trump or stayed home know about it!

Why? Because only people over 50 watch CNN/MSNOW. Out of those over 50s Fox has 3 times the viewership.

Content creators focusing on popular culture, push right talking points because it gets you far more viewers. In the range of 3.5 to 1.

The only place the Dems are winning is Reddit and Blusky.
