However, 100% of wealthy corporate donors think the current leadership is doing a perfectly fine job of guaranteeing that no major office will be held by a Democrat who might do something that would negatively affect their executive pay packages or lead to them having to actually pay taxes, so the party leadership are going to ignore this poll, and continue to slurp up soft money, run on "blue no matter who," and blame the voters when they lose.

Better narrative: only 1/4th of Democrats polled agree that Democrat leaders are doing a good job.

Wow thanks extremist lefties for ruining the party by making it so that people who vote for the party want better things than we used to offer them, our jobs used to be so easy and we could literally laugh in their faces while screwing them over.

sigh I miss the old days before being a person in power became too woke.

Democrats should be replaced.

It would be cool if they weren’t just the controlled opposition party but that’s all they are as of now

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

That seems like a low number.

DNC explicitly doesn't want any Dems replaced, and voters love dropping to their knees for incumbents. As the saying starts, you can wish in one hand, and shit in the other.

So 48% need to be taken out to pasture
