The Democrats have serious problems, and they should be discussed and corrected... but I am amazed that the Republican are so blind to what they are they can only point at the mole hill of problems the Democrats have compared to them.

The Republican leader appointed a well known sex trafficker to be AG.

Joe Manchin is not a republican.

‘The Democratic Brand Is in the Toilet’: 4 (democrat) Writers Dive Deep Into the Party’s Distress​

Opinion | ‘Democrats Have Gone Beyond Soul Searching to Soul Spelunking’: 4 Writers Read the Party’s Fortune

Assessing newer voices, and future strategies.

Almost every day the NYTimes has an opinion piece about the party’s troubles.
Gaetz is a blip compared to the massive troubles (and there are many) facing democrats.

A bright spot for them in the article was how a few Dems succeeded in the last election by bucking the usual democrat narrative.
It actually reminds me of 2002 when Bill was forced to “triangulate”.
Basically caved in to Newt.

No. But they’re more in touch with mainstream America.
And think about this… people are fleeing blue states to red states in droves. And I seriously doubt they’re bringing those politics with them. It’s because of their politics.
Look at Florida. That used to be a swing state.

They are a mess, appointing pedophiles to be AG.

The Republicans are a huge mess. Democrats are not promoting pedo's.

States change, and Florida has been changing for decades. . . Texas is moving left.

As Joe Manchin prepares to leave Congress after nearly 15 years, the West Virginia senator — who left the Democratic Party and registered as an independent earlier this year — is further distancing himself from his former party, calling the Democratic brand “toxic.”

“The D-brand has been so maligned from the standpoint of, it’s just, it’s toxic,” Manchin told CNN’s Manu Raju in an interview that aired Sunday, citing the shift as the reason why he left the party.

Adding that he no longer considers himself a Democrat “in the form of what Democratic Party has turned itself into,” Manchin — who has long been a pivotal swing vote in the Senate — said the party’s brand has become about telling people what they can and can’t do, blaming progressives for the change.




“They have basically expanded upon thinking, ‘Well, we want to protect you there, but we’re going to tell you how you should live your life from that far on,’” Manchin added.

Manchin cast progressives — a small number of lawmakers within the party who he claims have an outsize influence — as being out of touch with the majority of Americans.

Fuck Joe Manchin. He was and remains a tool. His only interest was lining his pockets while his constituents live in some of the worst poverty known in America.

Manchin is a toxic mold who should go off on his yacht and leave us.

My point. This thread is about something Manchin said, then you blamed it on "republicans". You think that "republicans" should pay attention to what you want them to pay attention to... because you, apparently, can not walk and chew gum at the same time.

Focus. This thread is about Manchin, and what Manchin said about the party that left him behind. Not about republicans and what they think about the party they've never been members of.
