America has more independent voters than Democrats or Republicans. Are they changing American politics?
America has more independent voters than Democrats or Republicans. Are they changing American politics?
Yes, if the democrats did care about these things, they would have emptied the concentration camps instead of writing the most draconian anti-immigration bill in recent history, then overriding congress when it didn’t pass, defunded the police instead of advising states to divert covid funds to them, stopped giving Israel the bombs to carry out a genocide, and stacked the court during the 2 years they had a majority and could have done so, instead of changing the rules so they couldn’t.
You don’t get to campaign on maintaining Roe V Wade, then do nothing to prevent its overturn, and claim you cared about Roe v Wade.
So by “Democrats,” you mean “members of the Democratic party who have been elected in their districts or states, not necessarily because all of the Democrats in that state wanted them to run,” and not “registered Democrats,” which is what this is about.
Or are you under the bizarre impression that America is a direct democracy?
Yes, obviously I’m talking about the people with actual power.
So you’re changing the subject from what OP posted about.
If you had made that clear in the first place, I wouldn’t have wasted my time.
Are you being obtuse or do you really not understand how the democrats failing to represent the will of their voters connects to registered democrats leaving the party?
Again, if you had simply made that connection at the beginning, I wouldn’t have wasted my time.
