O think the voters failed miserably.
The voters and the media.
The point I’m trying to make is that people are less informed now than they were then and they don’t even believe in the same facts anymore the Republican Party is more intractable than it was then
And MSM would never have covered Biden‘s age while ignoring Trump‘s cognitive impairment.
I doubt Social Security, Medicare, Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act
Social Security, Medicare, Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act would pass today.

That USED to happen (Social Security, Medicare, Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act

The ACA passed 60 to 39 but only because Kennedy had died in August and Kirk had been appointed by the Democratic governor.

I thought the guy sounded a little Trumpy and then once I heard him say the “Democrat Party”, I said, OK, I’m done.”
11/2/2025: Heard you on the Daily Beast podcast today discussing young men and Trump.
You sounded fairly pro Trump and anti-Democratic Party to me,
But once I heard you say the “Democrat Party”, I said, OK, I’m
done.”

McCain was a strong opponent ACA, he didn’t help them pass it.
Why do you think they need excuses sometimes it’s just a matter of your voters telling you not to vote for it.
There was a problem with abortion in this particular
““70% of voters think the Democratic Party is “out of touch”
I think you would do much better if you spent the rest of the pole asking them why they think this using specific examples of what Democrats have done what Republicans have done and ask them so how do you arrive at that conclusion? .
People don’t care about climate change until the next big storm then it’s a major issue.
I think the real problem is not that the Democrats are out of touch, but that too many voters are just misinformed and too lazy to be better informed.
When LGBT people are treated horribly, we care very much once we take for granted that they’re OK. They can go back to treating them horribly again and tell their base, “ Oh look they care more about them than they care about you.”
And yet candidate who ran for only three months lost by only 1.5%
The main problem that we have is people care about issue a until the Democrats solve it, then is it creeps back up again and Democrats address that they claim Democrats care more about that then a phony Rep issue.
“70% of voters think the Democratic Party is “out of touch.” Most voters, the group found, believe the party over-prioritizes issues like “protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans,” and “fighting climate change” while not caring about “securing the border” or “lowering the rate of crime.”

I think first thing we need to do is pundits and the consultants.
But having an identified masked men snatching people off the streets and out of their homes is an idea that appeals to moderate America?
It was only a few years ago we were told of Americans wanted Republican light. They would just vote for Republicans.
Caring about working people is a left-wing idea Caring people about vulnerable minorities is a left-wing idea. The belief that the gov should mind their own business and let families make their own choices as to trans issues is a left-wing idea?
I agree, what are you do about it?
Especially those people who cannot believe that something like this would happen in America so they won’t believe that something like this is happening in America.
Well know never know if someone tried but couldn’t get in.
Ever since Trump, I always said that if they had reality shows in John Gotti’s day, (he was popular and better liked than Trump),
He could’ve had a national following, gotten elected president and had all the charges against him dropped.
At least he stood trial.
I’m saying, I don’t know if we really do that or if we just keep saying that we do.
It always seemed to me that Democrats rely more on ActBlue than the DNC.
Are we doing it now?
I don’t see it, but I do see that when Democrats do something great for the rural area they think it’s Republicans who did it.
