This guy just doesn’t get that the Democrats are rotten right down to the core. And for the most part, so are the Republicans.
They’re NOT going to change. If they changed, they’d have to give up their perks, luxury, and lifestyle. And they’d have to stop screwing the American people to do it. None of these are acceptable to the DC ruling class.
But because his sense of self-worth is wrapped up entirely in his politics, he’ll never question that.
Pelosi, Schumer?
follow these, “leaders”? BARF.
Its obvious that their message is just not getting through. They need to shout it out louder and more often so that the proles can see them for what they truly are.
This guy should have paid attention to what he wrote just a few paragraphs above:
Huge grassroots movements, made up of millions and millions of people, are fueling the fight for a $15 minimum wage, fighting back against fossil fuels and the Dakota Access Pipeline, fighting to end fracking, fighting to remove lobbyist money from politics, fighting to end senseless wars and international violence, fighting for universal healthcare, fighting for the legalization of marijuana, fighting for free college tuition, fighting against systems of mass incarceration, and so much more.
While a couple of goals (removing lobbyist money from politics and stopping the practice of pointless wars) would have across the board support, most of those goals are exactly the reason the Democrat party is so unpopular.
I wonder if it ever occurs to any of those kids who support the Democrat party that their lifestyle becomes absolutely impossible without fuel. While they are protesting pipelines (and causing extreme damage to the environment while they are at it), does a single one of them ever stop to think that if they got their way, their precious iPhones, iPads, and other electronic toys would become useless? They claim to want "sustainability," but does a single one of them have a clue that without the high-intensity farming practices and other modern technologies which actually do sustain a high population, most of them would starve to death?
I would guess that the reason they are upset with the Democrat party is that they imagine this fantasy utopia is actually possible, and the Democrats have no compunction about promising it. However, the more intelligent elected Democrats realize just as well as any conservative how impossible that utopia is, so do not and will not deliver on their promises. (The Sheila Jackson Lee and Nancy Pelosis of the congress are actually stupid enough to believe that they can get utopia by more socialism and ludditism.)
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Republicans now control the House, the Senate, the presidency, and the overwhelming majority of state legislatures and governorships.
And all they are doing with this power is continuing the democrat agenda and renaming democrat policies with republican monikers...
The guy’s initial point is correct - I don’t remember a time when Republicans were actually MORE POPULAR than Democrats, not even Reagan’s day, as the Dems could always promise the Candy Store to Americans, where the Republicans were much more of the ‘tough love’ types.
But now the Dems have run out of promises, and simply sit there to thwart Trump at every turn...and people are getting very sick of that, particularly since most of Trump’s agenda is VERY POPULAR in the country.
Huge grassroots movements, made up of millions and millions of people, are fueling the fight for a $15 minimum wage, fighting back against fossil fuels and the Dakota Access Pipeline, fighting to end fracking, fighting to remove lobbyist money from politics, fighting to end senseless wars and international violence, fighting for universal healthcare, fighting for the legalization of marijuana, fighting for free college tuition, fighting against systems of mass incarceration, and so much more. But mainstream Democrats aren’t really a central part of any of those battles, and, to be clear, each of those issues have deep networks, energized volunteers, and serious donors, but corporate Democrats virtually ignore them.
Yes the Democrats are losing because they are not more Socialist. By all means move the Democrat party further left.
Those millions of grass root supporters are for the most part in the coastal socialist bubbles of big cities and universities.
Move out of the bubble and you will find people who want smaller government, control over our borders, lower taxes, and less government regulations.
My dad...a life-long FDR Democrat...absolutely hates the Democrats now. Thinks they’re intentionally destroying the country. I just tell him, yes—they are.
They advocate any policy which will make Americans poor and miserable. In this way, they hope people will increasingly vote for Liberals to fix all the problems and take care of everyone.
“What exactly is the strategy of the Democratic Party to take back the government from conservatives across the country?”
Lie a lot.
Maybe to show he is down with the sister this fake Negro should hire the female fake Negro as a researcher to help him churn out fake news. Just sayin.
It’s hard to believe this clown is still being published by the Daily News. His writing is atrocious and illiterate, his insights are on the level of a high school kid, and all he ever talks about is himself. Who would look to this guy for guidance? Pete Hamill and Jimmy Breslin must be rolling over in their graves.
Why are Democrats unpopular? Simple...Look at the people with a D behind their name. That should explain it all.
GOP leaders have nothing great to cheer about with this poll. While Pence and Trump get nearer to a majority than the Democrats, the GOP itself is less than 1% higher in the poll than the Democrats.
I think the GOP leaders greatest failure is not their ideas. It is their horrible skill level at communications. They can’t and don’t sell very well even the best ideas the GOP has.
Bottom Line, the elitist media in NYC, Washington and LA are non stop attacking Trump and qre perhaps the most disrespectful crybabies in history - that continues to do just the opposite of what they wish, they are making Trump more popular and exposing the weaknesses and hatred of the Dem Party.
More good news - they don’t realize that their hate filled attacks hurt their cause and will continue this effort - winning!
The writer was a toddler hitting the keyboard and said toddler got published. Matter of fact, I think my youngest brother could write better.
