Even the mere suggestion should be impeachable.

44%. That’s the share of voters who said they would back a Democratic candidate in the midterms, according to an Economist/YouGov poll conducted Jan. 9-12, versus 40% who would back the Republican candidate. The poll is in line with other recent surveys on which party is favored in November, with an average of polls by RealClear Polling finding Democrats have a 4.3% advantage over Republicans as of Thursday.
Jesus tapdancing christ. 44% to 40%. Just… wow.
My compete and total lack of faith in the mental competence of the American electorate is certainly coming to a middle.
I fucking hate it here.
1,600 people were polled.

that’s not enough to represent the country, and who knows what their methods are
But the headline creates clicks and engagement and that's what matters most.

I fucking hate it here.
If you mean planet Earth in the 21st century, then I'm right there with you.
mmmmm. mmmmm. kick in the groin or a handshake. mmmmm. mmmmm. they are just so similar. I think I prefer the one. slightly. so hard to decide.
I mean have the Dems just tried being better?
I mean have the Dems just tried ~~being better~~ ?
There, fixed.
They are better than the alternative, but folks want them to be perfect when Nazis are running around killing Americans and if they're not then fuck em.
folks want them to be perfect
Well I want the Dems to literally light themselves on fire for what they did to Gaza, but really "folks" just want Dems to be decent. Like Dems don't even want to defund ICE, they just want to put down bullshit procedural crap that they'll face zero consequences
No actually, they haven't!
it's hilarious that in a post about the racist rapist pedophile nazi fascist con man dictator talking about canceling elections, we STILL have people in the thread bitching about DEMS LOL
Yeah because the Dems didn't go after the racist rapist pedophile Nazi fascist con man dictator when they had the fucking power to do so 🤦 because they gotta protect the racist rapist pedophile Nazi fascist elites loyal to their faction of capital 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Are you seriously suggesting dems aren’t better than Hitler 2.0 and his regime? Get real.
Not at all. I'm suggesting that they just be good enough, as opposed to merely being less shit than the GOP.
It seems like every fucking election is like this...
The "I hate everyone and everything, I'm going to abduct your neighbors, how dare you suggest billionaires get taxed anything at all" party
vs
The "I guess healthcare should probably be affordable and gay people exist and deserve dignity" party
40% and 40%...
The remaining 20% are outside eating rocks or something...
Democrats don't have until elections to manifest a palpable resistance.
