The Democratic party’s favorability rating has hit a record low, according to a CNN survey released Sunday.

The survey, conducted March 6-9, shows 54 percent of U.S. adults say they have an unfavorable opinion of the Democratic party, while 29 percent say they have a favorable opinion and 16 percent say they have no opinion.

((Proof that capitulating to MAGAites is not doing the democrat party any favors.))

Just be aware of the users post history - they're Russian and a putin supporter.

FYI on voyager you can make private tags for users.

Whats fun about this is that AOC's individual popularity... is not trash.

Same with Crocket. Al Green. others.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I mean people pretty much have always liked individuals over the collective.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The 10 who voted for cloture do not enjoy comparable levels of popularity.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Nor should they

Money buys elections - period. Money buys the news. Money buys influence. Money tells a significant portion of the population what to think. Money keeps people ignorant. Money makes people believe lies.

Burn it down and rebuild with progressives, going further right isn't going to win.

The party of like under 10 useful people and the rest are NPCs that forget to resist Republican initiatives.

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 5 points 1 day ago

Calling people "NPCs" is always fascist.

In my opinion, some far-right terms is very useful even for anti-establishment leftists.

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 1 points 16 hours ago

If you enjoy dehumanizing people, you're not a leftist.

[-] NimdaQA@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Despite the terms MAGAts, bots, etc being household names in the house of Neoliberalism?

There is zero reason for me not to use such terms like NPCs.

The Democrats are clearly not going to save us. We're gonna have to save ourselves.

Mutual aid. Community gardens. Community mesh-networks that don't connect to corporate internet.

In other words, building parallel systems to support one another. Gotta get mobilized on a local level and build systems outside of capitalism for support leading up to (hopefully) a General Strike.

The violence is coming, that's almost assured. We don't have to invite it before we have a plan and ways to take care of one another.

The Black Panthers and the community work they did need to be used as a roadmap. There will be infiltrators and agent provocateurs trying to dismantle it from the inside. We need to be smart like Afeni Shakur.

Your solution is to wait for the violence and then play defense?

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

The Black Panthers got a lot of headlines and got wiped out without the Establishment breaking a sweat.

You're completely dependent on the electrical grid, the internet, the roads, and the rest of the infrastructure that Trump is going to control.

And, as you pointed out, the entire Movement was riddled with spies. Think Blackwater is really going to let you have your little garden?

[-] sleezer@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

We need a shake up that includes multi parties and ranked choice voting system. This two party system isn't working anymore. Now would also be a good time to start a new party with some of these Dems that actually care

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 days ago

Almost like the Democrat's strategy of pointing at the Republican's doesn't work for getting votes

[-] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

It would be nice if Dems had someone who could identify both a cohesive vision AND a path/plan for execution. You know. Actually governing.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
