2. EXACTLY. But that requires Dems to work as a team

and actually agree on a set of principles. AIPAC gives $100,000,000 or so to Democrats each election cycle. It is hard to present any consistent party message when so many of the candidates are so tainted by dirty money. It isn't just AIPAC. It is big tech, it is the HC industry. It is defense contractors and so on.

Dems think they can win just by being against Trump. That may work in 2026, but it is not the way to win a governing majority. We must give voters reasons to vote FOR us. We must tell voters what we are really committed to doing.

23% support from independents? Every Democrat should be ashamed. This is terrible -- the proverbial "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory"

They really can't afford to be too much of a free agent, if they're getting money from the DNC. Omnipresent Mar 31 #6

The YouGov poll I find that was released today has different (worse for Trump) than you are citing. Wiz Imp Mar 31 #4
