In reply to the discussion: The Democratic Party seems to have no earthly idea why it is so damn unpopular [View all]Rollo
(2,559 posts)The near equal unpopularity of both Reps and Dems leads to a logical conclusion: the unpopularity is linked not to partisan stances, but to politicians in general.
There are clear ideological differences between the R and the D. The Tweeddle-Dee-Dum meme is invalid. As long as people despise politicians, both parties will suffer unpopularity.
But this doesn't mean that the D's can't put on their big girl panties and come back fighting with an agenda AND candidates that appeal to the masses in the face of powerful manipulation by oligarchs and billionaire Mussolini imitators. It means hard work, honesty, and dedication not only by our party leaders, but by every registered Democrat (and many independents) to spread the word at home, at work, at church, at school, at social events: everywhere. Unless we do that, we're doomed to be crushed under the thumb of wanna-be dictators like DJT.
Resist is far more than a bumper sticker.
