I just heard about a poll that the approval rating of Democrats is at an all-time low. And no, it wasn’t Trump saying that.
I don’t belong to any party. I am registered as an Independent. However, I have never in my life voted for a Republican for president. I guess you can call me a liberal. I came close in 2008 with John McCain, but when he picked Palin that shut me down instantly, and then Obama rose, and that made it easy.
Today I am a pissed-off liberal. I get text solicitations every day by the likes of Mark Kelly, Jon Ossoff, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, Hakim Jeffries and dozens of others asking me for contributions to help them save democracy. This after the thousands of dollars I sent in increments of $25, $50 or $100 to anyone asking me in 2024 leading up to the election. Where did that money go? It resulted in the worst showing in decades against an opponent that should have been an easy one to pick off.
They had their chance before the election, and they failed. They didn’t read the public sentiment correctly, and now they are acting like it’s just money to correct that. I see the weakest Democratic Party I have ever seen. There is no star, there is no leader. After the stunt Chuck Schumer pulled with the funding vote, showing no fight, I am supposed to believe this party knows what it is doing? And don’t get me started on Fetterman.
I am not sure what the answer is, but 77 million voters wanted Trump to do what he is doing right now. It does not feel right to me. But I am not seeing anyone showing backbone and standing up for the other 75 million that didn’t agree.
Call me a pissed-off liberal.
