Democrats have been alienating their own base

Democrats have been alienating their own base. Recently many Jews, but before that many whites, many heterosexuals (mostly men back then but women now too). Then they alienated blacks with increase in crime in their neighborhood and females seeing transgenders over taking them (mostly in sports, for now, i.e. some controversy in women's chess now too). Recently they alienated Muslims with their lgbtq+ school curriculum. And most recently Jews with the increase in antisemitism.

I don't claim to predict who will win next presidential election, but it does not look good for democrats.

I've never voted Republican. I have voted Democrat in the past, in the very distant past, not in recent elections however.

How have democrats alienated white people? What policies specifically?

How have democrats alienated heterosexual people? What policies specifically?

How have democrats caused an increase of crime in black neighborhoods?

Transgender athletes are super rare. The number of people being impacted by that is miniscule. The fearmongering is far larger than the occurrence.

What lgbtq+ school curriculum? What are you talking about?

How are democrats being antisemitic? Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic. And barely any democrats dare to do that much.

This sounds like it's entirely made up of right wing culture war talking points.

Aren't those groups classified as Christians?

(1) Democrats are not monolithic. The don't have a single leader whose voice drowns out all the rest. Democrats have a big tent containing many points of view, and not all in agreement.

(2) I have yet to see a shred of evidence that either blacks or jews or homosexuals who formerly supported democrats are now supporting republicans. If you've got the evidence, please present it. If your response is "do your own research," that's further admission you don't have a shred of evidence.

(3) Elections don't happen in a vacuum; there is a choice among imperfect candidates. The real question in 2024 will be who looks worse, trumpsters or democrats. Nobody I knew was enthusiastic about Biden in 2020; we voted for Biden to block Trump. Since losing in 2020, Trump has only strengthened the case against him.

(4) If you've never voted republican and stopped voting democratic, then feel free to continue throwing your vote away on candidates who won't affect outcomes or policy. Makes no difference to me.

Their base doesn’t care, they will blindly vote for them anyway
@Prison1203 The Dem base didn't necessarily vote "FOR" Biden last election. They voted against Scammy Davis. And by the numbers (nearly 8 million more voted for Biden) and the number of flipped traditional Red sates that went for Biden......so did a lot of Republicans.
Prison1203 · 61-69, M
@anythingoes477 you mean the voting machines flipped the count s as they did in the judges votes here just recently
@Prison1203 Oh you mean the voting machine conspiracy theory that FOX admitted was a total lie and paid nearly $800 MILLION for telling it to suckers??? That was bebunked what??? A year ago now???? Might be time to find a new one to pass around as "truth"...don't ya think??? It's nearly 2024 now. Catch up, Even trump has admitted that was bullshit.
Republicans are also alienating swing voters with their extreme position on abortion. The vote on Issue 1 in Ohio next week will clarify how significant this will be next year. Their problem is, if they aren’t as extreme, they will alienate their base.

@LeopoldBloom if blacks didn’t vote democrat, your side would never win again in any race
@Prison1203 If whites didn't vote Republican, your side would never win again in any race. And if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass a-hoppin'.
Prison1203 · 61-69, M
@LeopoldBloom sorry buttmuncher but whites make up 66% of the population and Hispanics are very conservative

As we say on the other side of their extremism..."They have begun to turn on themselves and eat their own young."
GlitterEater · 36-40, F
This sounds like a Republican fantasy. You want people to feel that way but they don't.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@GlitterEater Oh really? Head for the southern border, millions moving to another country, thanks to your imbecile in the white house
GlitterEater · 36-40, F
@sunsporter1649 Yes, really.
@sunsporter1649 OOGA BOOGA!

To ask any questions..
you’d be labeled a far right extremist nazi trump voting bible/gun clutching homophobe

How long did they think their own voters would stay silent and just conform ..
as their cities are torn apart by their own immigration policies.. just ONE example
Get fucked, nobody is falling for this.
I think you missed several of the standardized talking points of every right wing radical in America. Probably an oversight............or you got tired typing?? If you had of added in "Biden is a pedo" and something about "Lizard People" and "Covid was a hoax"....you could have touched all of the trump cult bases. Maybe next post, huh?

The Democrats spread acceptance. The Republicans spread hatred of anything not WASP enough.

@sunsporter1649 I think I understand you now. You accuse others of your flaws, like Trump does.

@SW-User You are close... but the right answer is that the man is pretty r*tarded.
TrashCat · M
@SW-User Republicans lie, steal, only care about their own pockets, their corporate donors...they don't give a shit about the lower.and middle classes trying to scratch out a living. Our healthcare costs are not affordable, but that cool. We need to make sure that the upper.class who can afford to pay their taxes don't have taxes to pay. We should be greatful to feed on their crumbs.

Is it alienating or is it not kowtowing to groups in search of grievance and enemies who don't subscribe to "justice for all?" Democratic leadership isn't anyone's Daddy.
And it actually looks VERY good for Democrats in the next election.
You are right.

You've been nipping at the cough medicine bro

Source, citations, examples. Otherwise, it's just water cooler chat.

Which Democrats are anti-Semitic? (Except two members of the Squad).

Biden has the opposite problem, losing support in Michigan, for being too pro-Israel.
@Bumbles So basically, none at all.
Bumbles · 51-55, M
@BohemianBoo Why would I take the time to give you my reasons when all you would do is yell something about bullshit, liar, etc. You've proven yourself incapable of reasoned conversation. All you do is emote. You're incredibly obnoxious.
@Bumbles Which topic did I do that with?
WalksWith · 51-55, F
No, they aren't. And this is a lie you're spreading.
@WalksWith polls seem to support the view The Dems are losing support.
PatKirby · M
Or as they say "another day at the office."
True. They've been one hundred eighty degrees apart from the majority of the public for decades. But nobody thinks the majority has any power. Things change.

How are they going to fit an executive’s desk inside his cell after he wins though?😏
