Wanting America to be better is not America-hating, it’s patriotism.

I agree they like some policies that are progressive, but the progressive brand has been damaged by the pronoun movement.

Also, the hard right has successfully misrepresented and exploited gender, bathroom, voter security, and immigration issues; appealed to bigotry ...

A lot of people fall for the disingenous framing of cultural issues and PAMan (essentially being a Republican) falls for it, too. The nuts and bolts of progressive policies are healthcare, education, wages, and taxing the wealthy. The simpletons think it’s pronouns.

Universal healthcare even polled at 38% (or thereabouts) with Republicans in some polls.

Dems should make major gains in Congress in 2026. How will gerrymandering and voter suppression influence the outcome? Will there even be an election?

Did Democrats vote for Trump or stay home?

Yes.

 
How significant was voter suppression efforts?

Kamala was a walking talking Democrat suppression effort.


Can we still call urban blue collar social conservative swing voters Democrats?

No, because they flipped due to all the woke progressive bullshit.

Some. Far from most.

6 to 12% With another 12% not voting for either.  24% was not chump change and decided that election.

Well done "Independent" Bernie. Next time just run as a Republican since you are just doing their work anyway.

Bullshit.

We see these damn polls all the damn time and yet when the rubber hits the road, people are not pulling the lever for Ihlan Omar for President.

Kamala Harris is for they/them, President Trump is for you.  That is going to work every damn time.

Read the article with the focus group lady. People are not voting for Dems who are for "they/them" as that means that they are not for "you" regardless of all these polls and policies. People outside the Blue City Cocoons do not trust Progressives due to all the cultural baggage and gun grabbing. It is as simple as that. We just saw it in action.

As I said, PAMan will fall for the banana in the tailpipe virtually every time.
