If you want to say the Biden presidency isn't working because of x,y,z from an actual policy perspective and not the right wing extreme media version of it...then ok im with you..

What do you think I've been doing?.......X,Y,Z?

I've covered most of the alphabet pointing out the insanity of this train wrecked Administration.

The commentary on this board that passes for analysis by some is mind-blowingly stupid and incredibly lazy.

First, a couple of definitions:

Rare: "seldom occurring or found"

Exceedingly: "to an extreme degree"

Alright, a few polls:

* ~80% of Democrats who had heard of CRT had a favorable view of it.

* ~70% of Democrats think that racism is a big problem:

One year later.....

* 28% of Democrats were strongly in favor of teaching students that the US was stolen from others - another 21% were weakly in favor of this.

* ~46% of Strong Democrats endorsed the firing of four people who lost their jobs over giving offense to woke sensibilities

* 45% of Democrats think that decriminalizing illegal border crossings is a good idea:

* 63% of Democrats and Leaning Dems say they have heard of someone preferring to use pronouns, and another 25% said they know someone who prefers to use pronouns. (in other words, there's a lot of use of pronouns out there).

* 66% of Democrats say they are comfortable using pronouns:

* 61% of Democrats think that kids should be able to pick their pronouns:

More polling: https://today.yougov.com/topics/poli...ouns-2022-poll



* 55% of Democratic voters would support a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine

* 59% of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

*48% of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.

A couple of other surveys of interest:

* 64% of Democrats say that someone can be a man or a woman even if that is different from the sex they were assigned at birth:

Again 'ville, quit clowning around. There are ZERO politicians in DC, that are advocating for "free guns" or No immigration. Your examples are silly.

However, there are PLENTY of politicians in DC, that openly support radical Defund Police and Open Boarder policies.

Well, NYC is requesting credit card companies create special codes for gun purchases. While the Rs have never proposed "free guns", the Ds are doing what they can to go after them (even if it's not within their power).

[Xuperman]

What I think we all need to recognize that just as MSM glorifies everything the Dems touch and diminishes the right....these republican publications are doing the same just vice versa.

Are you suggesting that the ENTIRE MSM construct, ABC, NBC, CBS news, along with their cable affiliates. ALL of the big city print media rags, along with the smothering Progressive Social Media outlets, are seriously challenged by FOX News, Conservative Radio and a some insignificant extremist blogs?

It's not even a close fight in who is controlling the National Political narrative. Stop with the nonsense.

Wow Lou,
That is a impressive amount of work.....thanks for posting!!!

Everything there really describes the progressives are winning the narrative. The complicit MSM is mainly responsible.

[Xuperman]

Yeah Paul..some whackadoodle right wingers tweeting is totally the same thing as a nation-wide, party-backed movement that literally put ballot initiatives forward to defund local law enforcement. Totally apples to apples on that one. Some of your finest work IMO

Fantastic Post!!

[Xuperman]

It’s amazing how many of the Democratic candidates are trying to distance themselves from that now that they see it could cost them the election. Anyone want to bet they go right back to wanting to defund the police if they’re re-elected?

It is a rock solid assurance they WILL. That's what they do.

Remember Biden campaigning on being the GREAT UNITER? What a F'ing joke! EXACT opposite.

[Xuperman]

do you have 100% faith in that one? You don't think whackadoodle Margorie and her ilk wouldn't be for those things?

I disagree with your "plenty." im sure there are some...squad and those idiots.

This is my point though...you are taking extremes and applying it to an entire base. It's just not accurate

It sounds like you are referring to a "voter base"? I am am laser focused on the POLITICIANS that this "BASE", voted into positions of power.

The "Squad"? Yeah, they are so far left that it's to INFINITY at this point. F them. I am talking about ALL the upper DEM LEADERSHIP, that is responsible for the disaster currently in front of us.

[GoMuskies]

Our new "common sense Republican" participant in the thread walks right in and aligns himself with Lou. Perfect.

I recall XVille as a pretty staunch conservative/Republican type, but at this point I expect he'd vote for Elizabeth Warren in '24. Point being, I don't think you guys are doing a very good job at being persuasive, which is kinda important in politics. At least it used to be, because the Democrats (here and elsehwere) really suck at the art of persuasion these days too.
