Democrats: Door #1 or Door #2?

[PoliticalChic]

Or....as the Great Yogi said: when you come to a fork in the road.......take it.
It's a humorous saying that encourages embracing change and opportunities. The quote is often used in the context of making important life decisions, suggesting that you shouldn't be afraid to try new things or take a different path. Google



1"....to demonstrate how unlikeable the Left has become, which is becoming a common theme on this (Maher's) show. The impossible standards, the purity tests, and the addiction to exclusionary antics have left the Democratic Party in its worst shape in 50 years.


2. Trump poll numbers are not sliding. That’s fake news. And even if they were, say, 43 percent, he’s still far more popular than the Democratic Party, with the rest being below 24 percent. Since the Trump coalition is the most efficiently dispersed voter bloc in recent memory—Trump could still win a national race at that rating. It’s only gotten stronger, and a multi-racial working-class coalition is hard to beat.


3. Maher seems resigned that there’s more than a good chance that his party is going to blow the next election because of this left-wing nonsense: a cabal of self-important, overeducated, predominantly white, and wealthy college kids who scream ‘black lives matter,’ but have done next to nothing to help that community except rob them of their voice within the Democratic Party structures.


4. It never ceases to amaze me how liberals don’t seem to get that non-white working-class voters, Hispanic men, and the youth flocking to the GOP might partially be because they’ve become insufferable on everything. The HBO host called it the excommunicate tendency instead of the need to communicate with those on the other side."

5. It is past time for the Democrat Party to stop mirroring the Fascist Jacobins of the French Revolution and go back to being an American Party. Please.

Door #1: Purity tests, pronoun wars, and vibes.
Door #2: Actually trying to win elections.


Pick one, Dems, before Bill Maher becomes your most reasonable strategist.

For outstanding posts. PoliticalChick is at the peak on this forum. She is brilliant, focused, informative and honest. I enjoy her posts very much.

As to the Democrats, they refuse to be cured, even though Bill Maher is trying to cure them. They are being led by their noses in the Media is a major problem for them.

 

[Foxfyre]

I wish everyone would stop trying to get the Democrats to change their tactics. For heaven's sake people, these people are without principle, ethics, morals, rudder. We do not want people with their mindset back in power.

When your opponent is losing, the smart thing is to not stop them from doing that.

"Media Critic Nails What NY Mag's Hit Piece on John Fetterman Is Really About​

Fetterman becomes more grounded at the center and supports Israel against Hamas, and suddenly, he’s a reckless, mentally ill loon who has gripped his staff with fear. They even yank his wife into this mess. Past staffers came out of the woodwork to pull a Julius Caesar on their former boss. Also, let’s play ball here with the narrative—now they’re worried about mental health. We have had half-braindead Joe Biden for four years, but now we all must be worried about John in this piece that’s aimed at destroying his political career. What a joke. From family strife to allegations that he’s not following up on his recovery.

....his politics have shifted to the middle. He is overtly pro-Israel in a party that is increasingly anti-Israel. He is open to talking to Trump and engaging with the other side at a time when his party wants to otherize the right. Jentleson and his other aides are Dem party operatives who will do anything to hurt their former boss. "

Do you really want a one-party governance?

Look at Califorinia and New York.


Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.


We need to hope that more sensible take back the party and jettison these:

Race and gender preferences

Language police

No punishment for criminals

Open borders

Attacks on the Supreme Court

Transgender sports competitions

Antisemitism

Wealth tax

Cancel culture

Welfare State

Government run healthcare mandates

Sanctuary Cities

Two-Tiered Justice system



Looking forward to the baby-shower for the new-born Democrat Party.

All you have to do is look at the postings “of them” here. Nary a bend, not a chink in the armor since all my days here. They have zero common sense and become more like the lowIQ yahoo crowd every day. Phony Mac&Cheesedic leads them to nowhere fast.

Well now I didn't say that did I. The odds that the GOP will become the only existing party are slim or none.

But the deep state that is almost exclusively Democrat is pervasive, strongly entrenched, dangerous and destructive to everything America was intended and could be. That we can appreciate a John Fetterman or Kyrsten Sinema or Joe Manchin or Tulsi Gabbard or RFK Jr. or others with common sense doesn't change that.

We need four years of Trump, eight years of JD Vance or somebody like him, and maybe another four to eight years of MAGA vision/intent after that to break the iron hold the deep state has on government, media, scientific institutions, education, big business, the entertainment industry, and even religious organizations. The deep state has been establishing itself as a primary sociopolitical force for the last 50 years and it won't be easily eradicated.

We need a few of the liberal mentality to stick around to remind us why we need to keep our eye on the ball here. But we sure don't need to help them temporarily paint over their spots so they can fool the public into putting them back in power.

Well said. PoliticalChick is not trying to help Democrats at all. They never will admit to what she said to begin with.
We need a solid 12 years to convert those who are entering voting age since by then our example will clearly show we are correct as you say above. Jimmy Carter Cured me of being a Democrat.

Yes Jimmy Carter made many rethink political affiliations and Ronald Reagan persuaded many that Carter, though well intended, was dead wrong and Reagan was mostly right. And that's when Reagan won in a landslide for two terms.

Unfortunately most of the Reagan Republicans term limited themselves out after the Clinton presidency and the NWO globalists took over in the party. They were nowhere near as effective or brave/persistent to get things done. Other than in his economic policies, GWB was far more old style Democrat than Reagan Republican.

Hopefully we now have a new wave of MAGA Republicans who can make a difference if they don't blow it in the midterms and in 2028.

I have never understood the attacks made on GWB given the Democrats he ran against. Reagan was followed by GHWB who did well following Reagan and improperly handled the war. Had Bush kept finishing off Saddam, Saddam would not have been the problem he later was. Democrats to this day defend Saddam Hussein.

GWB also improperly handled the war. Donald Rumsfeld said the dumbest thing they did was allow Saddam's Republican Guard to go home with all their weapons that were then, in the form of ISIS, turned against American and other allied personnel. That and the ill advised attempt at nation building that turned Iraq into another 'endless war.' Also GWB tried to micromanage education and had energy and immigration policies the Democrats loved.

GWB I believe is another good guy with honorable intentions, but his mistakes overshadowed his accomplishments. But he was savaged by the then deep state controlled media and the Democrats not because of his policies but because he had a R after his name. That made him unacceptable to them no matter what he did.

Just as Trump can do nothing acceptable to them now. But if we don't all rally behind Trump and the Republicans we likely will put the Democrats back in power in the midterms. Most especially if they are successful in temporarily painting over their spots and pretending to be something they are not. I don't want us to be guilty of helping them do that.

I don't think we are in any danger of becoming a one party system. But we sure don't want Democrats back in power so long as they are controlled by a deep state that has none of mainstream America's best interests in mind.

It's a well-worn roadmap to how the Dems destroy apostates.

We all see it for the obvious attack it is. Well, all of us except for the people doing it, and the dupes who follow along.

 

[leftwinger]

It's a big pot of money. 10% of $7T for criminals to go after. They will say or do anything, create any party to get into that much free money.

What would you do for only $1million free dollars instantly? They go for billions.

DOGE is scratching the surface, suddenly went quiet. It must be really bad. Bank robbers go where the money is, not to Circle K.

Oh boy, how fast Americans forgot about Paul Bremer who really took over Iraq for the coalition and it was not Bush at all but Paul who did what you are talking about.

I agree we are at the point where we either kill off Democrats as a party or they have one more chance to kill us off.

Apparently GWB was part of deep state. Explains his $88B to Africa for condoms.

He allowed himself to be humiliated daily to further the deep state (his butt-buddies) agenda during and after.

I think you, PoliticalChick and myself agree that the deep state really is our own major media. Democrats are not shy at all about trying to overthrow Trump again as they tried in his first term.
