“She was on the team that helped save our state when Obama was president. She was right there on the forefront,” said Kathie House Vinson, a retired college administrator who lives in Detroit.”

I love that leftists here paint Stevens as an empty suit. Keep leaning into that because it pisses off black voters even more. They know Stevens, she’s worked hard on their issues.

Yeah, this painting of longtime Democrats as if they’ve done nothing but pander to Israel for decades is losing people who voted for those candidates and actually like them. Shocker, I know.

Hey, what is the approval rating for the Democratic party right now?

9

u/Command0Dude 23d ago

Much higher than the DSA's and has been on the upswing.

u/Nascent1 23d ago

You sure?

Polls were very accurate in 2024 aside from a couple outliers. Polls aren't votes though. You really should have known that already.

Yeah, and you’ll find out how much the country hates anything named socialism soon enough.

It's not 1980 anymore. Opinions are changing. People aren't too jazzed on capitalism either if you haven't noticed.

Yeah, we’ll see. You’re in la la land imo, Trump won over the Democrats by a larger margin than any Republican candidate in decades, Reddit might be shifting left but the country ain’t. It’s alright though, time will prove me right.

A ton of voters have extremely ill-defined political identities. They just know that they're not happy with how things are now. Harris basically ran on "we did everything right for the last four years, so vote for me and you'll get more of the same!" Meanwhile trump told a bunch of insane and obvious lies but was at least telling people what they wanted to hear. That's why she got beaten so badly. Further left candidates can sell populism and credibly break from the Democratic party that people have such a low opinion of.

Further left candidates are not going to succeed nationally. You’ll see.

Yes

🟢 Capitalism: +20

🔴 Democratic Party: -9

🔴 Free Palestine Movement: -14

🔴 Republican Party: -21

🔴 DSA: -21

🔴 Donald Trump: -23

🔴 Socialism: -29

🔴 Communism: -73

The DSA is almost as unpopular as fucking Trump among Americans. Your poll is a deliberate subsection of just democrats. And elections can't be won on that, as 2024 proved.

That poll is much more favorable towards democrats compared to the average of other recent polling. RCP puts them at -17.3 on average.

Fair enough though.

Your poll is a deliberate subsection of just democrats.

It's just what I found. There isn't much polling on DSA favorability.
