I think the analog to the Tea Party was the Sanders wing of the Dems. The Tea Party seems to have morphed or given rise to MAGA, and Sanders gave rise to today's progressives.
"protecting democracy"= dislike of Trump
Because Trump is on the ballot. Only reason. Oz gave everyone Mitt Romney vibes.
Could be. I just don’t know if they can overcome the part of the party that just wants to win. That’s how Biden got the nod in 20 and it’s why she’s there now bc of Biden’s mental decline.
It’s all a show. The politicians saying it don’t believe it. But many of their followers do.
Walz said something to the effect of "If your grandpa sounded like that you'd take away his keys."

The fact that they say it's especially driven by negative responses from Republicans might help explain why this election is so close. The opposing party always says they are worse off, so big deal. If I were Harris I'd be very concerned with how Democrats respond to this question. Very easy to lose motivation when you don't feel you are getting a return on your vote.@TheOriginalHappyGoat got it right
Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago
The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.
Yeah, none of it is good for her. I'm just saying if the low numbers are primarily driven by responses from Republicans, then the electoral consequences will likely be muted.
The 14% on abortion is low and unrepresentative because the LV metric does not capture first time voters. Esp ones who registered after Harris entered the race.And in both MI and PA the female share of the early vote is higher than it was in 2020...
Anybody that predicts Trump to win the popular vote is not playing with a full deck...
DBM read a post that said they "nailed" it, so he repeated it. That's all this is. He has no understanding whatsoever of polling.Anybody that predicts Trump to win the popular vote is not playing with a full deck...
If you want to claim that Atlas was most accurate in 2020, I'll accept it. But if you're going to claim they were the most accurate for 2022 and didn't undervalue Dems, I'll need some receipts...
In the PA Senate I couldn't find an Atlas Poll, but Marist had Fetterman +6. In fact it seems Atlas basically quit polling in Oct, except for GA Senate. So I'm not exactly sure what they "nailed"?...
Meanwhile heading into Nov 9, Marist was on fire.. In addition to Fetterman ahead comfortably they showed Warnock ready to force a runoff, as well as Kelly winning by 4 and Cortez-Masto winning in a huge upset as well.
The reason I bring up Marist is because they nailed key races in 2022 and their poll this week shows Harris up 5.

Democrats believe keeping any and every person who has ever lived in the state, living or dead, u.s. citizen or not, is necessary because you don’t want to create “obstacles to voting”
The DOJ suit against Youngkin/VA is downright comical. Also tells you they know VA is very tight.
He should go to a gun range next. Gotta keep up with gun totin’, fryer working Harris.
That was very strange. He can say anything crass, ridiculous and/or stupid, and his hard-core supporters will ignore it.
In the meantime Harris is running ads during the nfl that trump wants a national ban on abortion and will implement project 2025.
