I have a question about what is currently happening behind the scenes. Do Dem political types wait to see the outcome of the election before starting to plan the next move or are there people who, right now, are figuring out what’s next in either a win or a loss scenario? I just feel like the GOP is always thinking 5 steps ahead and I need some reassurance that Dems are too. At a more macro level, do Dems have a well-articulated, well-defined, laser focused 20 year plan like the one that is coming to fruition now in the judiciary and state/local government for the GOP/Federalist Society? Or are we more the party that is constantly playing defense? Because I have to say, feeling like we’re always on our back foot is pretty exhausting.
No mention of Congressional Democrats’ not getting anything done. Why? Don’t you think legislative wins would increase Democratic Party enthusiasm? Biden taking action on student debt? Whatever happened to adding Puerto Rico and DC as states?
Nothing is getting done to get people enthusiastic about anything. On top of that …
We were told the exit from Afghanistan would not look like the one from Vietnam …
Inflation was supposed to be short term …
Jobs are going unfilled …
The supply chain is a disaster …
No family leave … no free community college … and maybe no bills …
Voting rights …
And in case you don’t know how politics works, why doesn’t matter. The buck stops where it always stops.
And you don’t see any of this explaining the enthusiasm gap?
That swing in “education” voters is disconcerting. It makes deeply concerned about the ignorance and/or lack of critical thinking/judgement of the populace. If it plays out I fear even more for the country and our democracy.
Inflation + Covid + Retread Candidate = Trouble. In the minds of many voters, who's to blame for the first two means nothing. McCaullife is lackluster at best. Also, I wonder if all the mail-in ballots, typically favoring Democrats, will arrive on time with you-know-who still in charge of the postal service.
