The Democratic Party in Trump's Fascist 2nd Term. Commentary, Ideas & Strategy (+ non Woketicism)

This is a Poll of people that voted for Biden in 2020 and then did not vote in 2024.

Who do you see the most?

fwiw here's a poll of the people who voted for Biden in 2020 and stayed home in 2024 (ie a big reason we lost). https://t.co/FCUcQl25EA pic.twitter.com/z7zbLRvVzD

Sorry about the potato quality chart. It's a screenshot of potato quality video. But the point should be very clear:



This is new voter registrations in California over the period denoted in the graphic.

For comparison, this is what overall registration looked like in California on November 4, 2024:

45% - Dem
25% - Rep
22% - No Party Preference
7% - Other

Here's the percentages for the new registrations:

0.1% - Dem
30% - Rep
52% - No Party Preference
18% - Other

Here's how I read this: This is after an election. So there are no major voter registration drives going on. That means most of these will be young voters who are registering for the first time. The Dems aren't losing many new voters to the GOP in California, but the GOP is out-performing their usual 25% registration by 5%. I'll credit that to better performance with young men. But the Dems are hemorrhaging new voters to Other and to No Party Preference -- in California.

That's how damaged the Democratic brand is today.

 

I should bookmark this.

The Ur crime of the facsists arguably is Bush v Gore, and a fair count would have elected Gore. I’ve “known” this for a while but if I ever need to argue with a fascist again, I’ll have the link.

Well..... at this point, it is universally accepted....

“Mallory McMorrow, the Michigan Democrat running in a three-way primary to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters, has shifted her stance on the war in Gaza and now believes it is a genocide,” Politico reports.

 

Context further tying this to recent events:Three members of SCOTUS were part of Bush/GOP’s legal team. Two more voted for Bush as sitting justices.

 

Credit where credit is due: kudos to the Dems for sticking to their messaging regarding the shit down and ACA subsidies. I was critical of this approach.

Im not sure the mainstream media’s strategy of making this shutdown a minor story while carrying water for the GOP is sustainable

 

Leaving shit down

Calling Hasan lib is wild. Also he's not part of anything "new". He's been doing this for gotta be going on a decade.

 

He is related to Cenk and he has been at odds with his uncle on several issues. Hasan is a leftist. He plays games, talks politics, and has no problem shit posting his fans and they seem to enjoy it. He does indeed review the news.

As for his claims about the FBI...eh wouldn't surprise me but could be BS. He has been stopped at the border at least once. His style isn't my vibe but I generally agree with his politics.

 

Hasan Piker is a scumbag. Abuses his dog, thought January 6th was funny and deserved more, and even said the US deserved 9/11.

Again, he sucks.

 

Is he a Democrat?

 

A progressive.

 

I really only know of the guy because when the "Rogan of the Left" discussion was ongoing, I saw some people put forward his name.
