And this is the lesser-evil party. The only advantage the Democrats have is that Republicans are openly worse. Though the gap has never been narrower.

They're mostly decorative plants...
Probably because even the masses are starting to recognize they are controlled opposition.
Just one more marathon speech in congress bro. Then the approval ratings will surely go up
Because they won’t fight and they’re complicit.
Hard for them to capitalize on something like everyone being pissed about ICE, when the Dems are releasing literal thank you letters to ICE for their work.
If they wanted to beat Trump, they’d have to not support his policies. And that’s ultimately where Harris failed. It was just the same policies filtered through a PR agency.

This, for me, was the moment when I went from "man, these people really suck as an opposition party" to "They're either incredibly incompetent or they're just straight-up controlled opposition."
You can't oppose Trump while thanking his Gestapo for their service. Fuck that.

This is how I've felt and haven't been able to put it into words. Harris could have curb stomped Trump if she had effectively distanced herself from rightwing policy. Her stance on immigration was unforgivable and served to normalize what Trump would eventually do.
She was a DA for several different jurisdictions in California for a BIG part of her career before she got onto Biden’s ticket. Her stance on ICE and hardline immigration policy was unsurprising, and the fact that she leaned into consultants urging her to emphasize that is similarly unsurprising. In that regard, she was straight up the wrong candidate.
Oh yeah, it was definitely was unsurprising given her record. But it was still unforgiveable.
They even tried to implement a terrible gop bill while they were in power, and only didn't do it because gop thought it would be a win for dems if anything passed.
They're even blaming minorities for their loses after doing that
Hmm! As a Democrat Strategist I think it's because we DONT take ENOUGH money from Billionaires while HELPING Trump enact his Agenda! If we want to Get people BACK to Our Side we need MORE Billionaires and to Help even MORE of Trump's Agenda through!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Damn, you know what they should do to combat this? Keep trying to be centrist and ignore their actual base while trying to get more republicans to vote for them.
For real though, there's more than a 4th of the population that doesn't vote that'd be easier to convince to vote for them than republicans.
Yeah well, they've proven themselves so incompetent they're complicit in the fascist police state that the US has finally brought out into the open
It’s like watching a very elaborate game of good cop, bad cop.
But, they will be elected again, soon, to be the good cop that rescues Americans. And will do enough good to setup the working class for more loss during the next bad cop cycle.
Their superpower is to allow centralists to sleep well half the nights during a decade.
Rupert Murdoch and his news corp rag says what? Didn't see this coming.
2/3 of Americans don't like Trump
2/3 of Americans also don't like the DNC
I wonder...
This is clearly fake news, actual numbers lower. Didn't read the article and whatever is cited isn't low enough
