this is not an approval poll! i disapprove of the Democrats and will vote for any Democrat.

This is why I say stop quoting that 2 month old 27% Dem approval poll. It’s old and outdated.

lol when that approval poll came out I said the same thing - people who think the low D approval rates are good for R's are going to be very surprised, I think

Disapproval, disapproval never changes.

flowvoid.bsky.social•1 day ago

(You can tell the moment they decided high-frequency polling was a waste of time).

ijeftomi.bsky.social•1 day ago

If they know you vote for them anyways, why should they concern themselves with your approval?

needmoreclones.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fundraising, popularity, primaries come to mind immediately.

Only in America will people believe that parties float above the earth without any consequences over the internal struggles and enthusiasms of its members

theophite.bsky.social•1 day ago

what the fuck are you talking about

hotrollhottakes.bsky.social•1 day ago

it's agreement with the prior chained post that fundraising, popularity, and primaries are indeed important, and provide the difference between a committed institutionalist and a party line voter who is nevertheless not a committed institutionalist

smorc.bsky.social•1 day ago

because i will also vote for any dem primarying my incumbent congressman, and donate to significant number of primary challenges across the country

It is funny to see Trump supporters look at the disapproval ratings and then think it means that we secretly like Trump.

They are not going to be ready for the pendulum swing.

daltimusprime.bsky.social•1 day ago

They are banking on the pendulum not swinging back. The only explanation for Republicans' behavior is that they do not fear having to compete in free & fair elections any time soon.

They don't care about disapproval rating because they expect to be able to just dissappear you into the night soon.

OH MAN I had forgotten all about that.

There are many people in the party's base who find Chuck Schumer 'unhelpful' but still go to the polls voting for the Dems candidates up to down ballot just wanting the GOP to 'die'.

joshsteich.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not enough. People need to understand that voting Dem is NECESSARY but NOT SUFFICIENT.

sneakys.bsky.social•1 day ago

Right. I want every last GOP member of Congress and member of the Trump administration to be sent to jail forever, but since that is not a ballot option, I have settled on voting for the Dems.

passwordismiket.bsky.social•1 day ago

Dems are the worst option except for all of the other options.

chazhoosier.bsky.social•1 day ago

I feel like we all should have learned by now that the approval of the opposition doesn't really matter because the party that holds the White House is held responsible for everything.

jgschraiber.bsky.social•1 day ago

I will vote for any Democrat, and I will especially vote for any Democrat that says they will impeach Trump.

herserenehighness.bsky.social•1 day ago

You know your vote and your "especially vote" count the same, right? .

atpm.bsky.social•1 day ago

primary votes are a thing and while i'm sure you might vote for haley stevens in a general i'm not so sure you would in a primary.

herserenehighness.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not a Michigander, but from what I know, she would be my primary choice. Not sure why you assume otherwise.

joshsteich.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well, yeah, but organizing, donating, phone banking, etc., that's "especially vote."

mike10010100.com•1 day ago

We did the whole "withholding votes" thing this last round, bud, it gave us Trump, we're done with that game.

humblenovice.bsky.social•1 day ago

Remember when they accused us of emotionally blackmailing them to vote blue because of Trump? Well, looks like they have no problem doing just that to one of their supposed bulwarks.

beefreeferlives.bsky.social•1 day ago

I would sincerely hope so.

However, after America selected this lawless shitbag over hyper qualified candidates TWICE - I just don't know...

pathulhu42.bsky.social•1 day ago

i think america hates politics and politicians and wants the government to work without them

randyhermanlaw.com•1 day ago

Yeah I disapprove of the Democrats and will 100% vote for them given the alternative

mattpb.bsky.social•1 day ago

...ANY Democrat? :-/

sneakys.bsky.social•1 day ago

Same. Completely furious at all of them. Will crawl over glass to vote for them.

American parents have been screaming for help with the internet for 2 decades.
Our children are exposed to things daily online. Most of these exposures are forced on them by their peers. America has a problem that neither party will fix. Because it helps them.
