Democrats, The Joke That Just Keeps Giving

It is regular for me to talk down the Dems in Congress and elsewhere….to me they are as useless as tits on a boar.  They have rhetoric and that is about it….there is no fire in their bellies to actually work for the people they pretend to speak for.

Every election we get a plethora of ideas that they say they will fight for and then when the election is over they go back to the silliness of bi-partisanship.

It is not working and yet they hang onto the pipe dream.

So far all they have done is talk….one Dem senator broke the filibuster record….he talk for 25 hours and all he did was set a record nothing has changed since his long boring speech.

Dem loyal are starting to see just how useless the Dems in Congress have become….and the survey shows their disdain for these spineless toads….

Active progressive and Democratic-leaning voters are interested in seeing primary challengers to Democrats who represent the “status quo” and are “failing to meet the moment,” according to a survey from the group Our Revolution, which polled more than 4,100 voters meeting that description between April 18-20.

According to survey results published Wednesday, 92% want primary challenges to status quo Democrats who aren’t generating enough grassroots energy—and 96% support “transforming the party from within,” which Our Revolution defines as electing Democratic challengers who reject corporate political action committee (PAC) money and are “ready to take the fight directly to [President Donald] Trump and his enablers.”

Our Revolution, a progressive political organizing group launched as a continuation of Sen. Bernie Sanders‘ (I-Vt.) 2016 presidential campaign, said in a statement Wednesday that the results reveal a deep frustration with Democratic Party leadership.

Even when the Dem loyal tell them it is time to abandon this moronic centrists BS….they still are stuck in the center where nothing of substance ever gets done.

A survey taken by Harvard’s Center for American Political Studies and Harris between April 9-10 found that 72% of Democratic voters supported politicians like Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), “who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and ‘fight harder’,” rather than leaders who are willing to “compromise” with President Donald Trump.

Just 28% of Democratic voters said they support a so-called “moderate” approach. Across the political spectrum, 53% of respondents said they favored politicians who are willing to work with Trump—down two percentage points from the Harvard/Harris March survey.

Dems are such monumental losers….but why?

One indication is the youth vote…..they young do not trust Dems to get the things they promise done.

The Dems over the past 20-25 years has lost the support of the working class no matter how much crap they promise they still screw them every time…

The Dem shave their hands full between now and 208 to prove the working class that they have their best interest at heart.

Can they convince them that they will fight for their desires?

The problem is the party is in the hands of the old farts that are nothing but fat cats…..there needs to be a shake up…..and possibly that is on its way….

David Hogg was elected as one of five vice chairs of the Democratic National Committee earlier this year after promising to win back young voters who had drifted to the GOP—but some Democrats are angry about what he has planned. The 25-year-old says a separate group he heads, Leaders We Deserve, will spend $20 million in primary battles in safe Democratic districts to combat a culture of “seniority politics” and elect younger lawmakers who will take on President Trump more effectively.

  • “People say they want change in the Democratic Party, but really they want change so long as it doesn’t potentially endanger their position of power,” Hogg told the New York Times this week. “That’s not actually wanting change. That’s selfishness.” “This is going to anger a lot of people,” he said of the effort, predicting there would be a smear campaign against him.
  • He was right about the anger. Axios spoke to House Democrats who called Hogg’s plan “counterproductive,” saying it would divert money and attention from the party’s effort to retake the House. “What a disappointment from leadership,” said Democratic Rep. Hillary Scholten, who represents a swing seat in Michigan. “I can think of a million better things to do with $20 million right now.”
  • Democratic strategist James Carville, who helped Bill Clinton get elected in 1992, called Hogg’s plan the “most insane thing I ever heard,” Fox News reports. On CNN, he said, “I’m not part of the hip generation. I’m not very au courant. But I actually thought our job was to beat Republicans? How quaint, how quaint of me.” On NewsNation, the 80-year-old called Hogg a “contemptible little twerp” and said he should be sued, the Independent reports.
  • Hogg, who started out in politics as a gun control activist after surviving the 2018 Parkland school shooting, told the Times that the goal is to “make room for a new generation to step up and help make sure that we have the people that are most acutely impacted by a lot of the issues that we are legislating on.” He said age isn’t the only criteria, naming 85-year-old former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and 80-year-old Rep. Jan Schakowsky as two effective older lawmakers who deserve to be re-elected. “More than anything, it is: Do you want to roll over and die, or do you want to fight?” he said. “And too many people look at our party right now and feel like we want to roll over and die.”

I am with Hogg on this….please get rid of the do-nothing old farts and return the party to the people.

We need a firebrand one with guts and vision…..I waited to see how the DNC would react…..and now the wait is over….

The Democratic National Committee is going to force David Hogg to decide: Get out of the primary game or lose his DNC post.

During a member call on Thursday, DNC Chair Ken Martin is expected to announce a proposal to change the party’s rules to mandate all DNC officers stay neutral in all Democratic primaries, according to a person directly familiar with the plan and granted anonymity to describe private discussions. The move comes after Hogg pledged last week to spend millions of dollars funding challenges to “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats in primaries, igniting a firestorm inside the DNC.

Just as I thought….the DNC has no intention of updating their party….they want to stick to the spineless tactics they continue to embrace.

The party needs a transfusion for their blood now is stale, old and tainted and they will do everything to keep it that way…..they remain the impressive losers they have been for 40+ years.

The people of this nation deserve a party that works for them and not the parasites from K Street.

82% want the Democratic Party to stop accepting “Big Money” from billionaires and corporations, 70% said they are not confident Democratic leaders will do what’s needed to stop Trump, and 72% support moving away from a “cautious, centrist approach” in confronting Trump and the far right.

Heed the words of the faithful and stop what you are doing or we will find a better place for our support.

Even Dem governors are calling the party out for their lack of guts….

JB Pritzker gave the keynote address at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner Sunday night, and the Illinois governor was not pulling punches—against his own party. Instead of listening to their actual constituents, Pritzker said, Democrat lawmakers heed the words of “a bunch of know-nothing political types, … flocking to podcasts and cable news shows to admonish fellow Democrats for not caring enough about the struggles of working families.” Pritzker spoke to an audience of more than 800, the largest the dinner has seen since 2020, NBC News reports. Past presidential hopefuls have been known to attend the dinner, and Pritzker is widely seen as a potential 2028 presidential contender, the AP reports.

“Those same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on our defense of Black people, of trans kids, of immigrants, instead of their own lack of guts and gumption,” the governor, a billionaire heir to the Hyatt fortune, continued. (California Gov. Gavin Newsom, also seen as a 2028 contender, recently swung to the right on trans issues and called the case of wrongly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “distraction” from the issue of Trump’s tariffs, but Pritzker didn’t name names.) Pritzker, who is Jewish, also criticized Trump’s deportation efforts against students who have participated in pro-Palestinian protests. “Stop tearing down the Constitution in the name of my ancestors,” he said, to a standing ovation. Pritzker did not comment on his 2028 prospects, saying in an interview that he has not yet decided on whether to seek a third gubernatorial term in Illinois.

There has been much written about the troubles the GOP has been having with their town halls…..don’t be fooled the Dems are having a similar problem….

A Washington state Democrat came under fire during a town hall after backing a bill that would require voters to prove their citizenship when casting a ballot.

On Thursday, U.S. Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez walked into a town hall attended by hundreds of her constituents in Vancouver and was met with resounding boos.

Voters were upset she’d voted for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act and other pieces of legislation.

The second-term congresswoman struggled to speak over the disturbances during the hour-long event, according to KOIN 6.

Attendees told the outlet they wanted their representative to know they were outraged, even though Gluesenkamp Perez had told them the bill wouldn’t pass in the Senate.

“Americans believe that only US citizens should be determining the outcome of American elections. And any idea that I am standing to disenfranchise people is patently false,” the representative said at the meeting.

Anna Brouns, who lives in the congresswoman’s district, said: “I came here to hear what she has to say. Unfortunately, it always sounds like the same thing.”

She said she wants the representative to be angrier than she is and get more done.

It took a UK paper to bring this story to the US…..why is that?

Apparently the party cannot see how pathetic the voters view them for they are too dam,n busy counting all that special interests cash that is thrown at them.

If you have any thoughts please by all means voice them.

  1. Yeah, that is part of the problem…. everybody has become tired of the Democrats so they voted themselves a nazi into power….oh well– what will be will be ….now let the idiots suck up the chaos they have created for themselves. And, unfortunately, the rest of the peons are caught in their trap—-I liked America just the way it was —much better than I like where it is headed.

  2. I agree that the Dems seem to be sitting on their hands, sucking a lollipop. BUT … I also tend to wonder if part of the reason we think they aren’t doing anything is because the press is so wrapped up in reporting Trump’s antics? You have to admit it’s the topic du jour. Even us bloggers fail to say much about Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez and their efforts.

    Just a thought.

  3. As a lifelong Democrat, I am so tired of the “circular firing squad” approach to leadership…no focus on what mainstream America needs, far too focused on things that are important but only to the fringe of the party…yes, take care of them indeed but stop making their issues the only ones you talk about! Great insight as always, really appreciate the depth you bring to topics with the links….kudos!

      1. Seems like their influence is being challenged by the young guard…we will see, but the more they fight the worse their chances of taking back power will be…

      2. A ideological fight may be disastrous big in the long run it may be what this country needs. chuq

      3. When 60% of the freight ships are cancelled, all of this goods will soon sell out here…and there will be massive layoffs at the ports and for long haul truckers and more…he is singlehandedly crashing America’s economy for what seems to be his own ego and probably a secret deal with a foreign power…

      4. Did you see he is blaming Biden and sadly the idiots that support him will be echoing that ignorance. chuq
