  1. Ask them again when the average new car costs 60K. Frankly I don’t care what they think before the stove is truly touched.

    Americans priorities: paying higher for imported products, hating minorities, and owning the libs

    Sorry, I’m not changing my priorities to racism, bigottry and economic illiteracy just to appease the American people 🤷🏻‍♀️

  4. I think that, while the country may even agree with Democrats on the issues, it seems they very much consider social issues “luxury issues.” Things to be worried about only in times of economic stability and prosperity. Which may be extra difficult for Dems considering social issues is the majority of what drives their base and activists.

  5. I’m not sure the average Trump voter will care about price increases. Everyone hopes they will but I’m not buying it. I think it’s a CULTural thing at this moment and they’ll watch it burn while seal clapping.

    Dems have about a year to start targeting non-voters and energizing the base. Otherwise gg.

  6. The average American is a bad person. When you understand that, it is far easier to operate in the political landscape.

    Democrats just need to lie to placate the average voter because if the average voter gets what they want, we are fucked.

  7. These polls seem designed to make a person say “You know what? Fine. Kill our once-great country. Put a bullet straight through its head. Let ours be the great downfall story of the 21st century. Let people for a thousand years use us as the prototypical example of inexcusable, disastrous failure. See if I care.”

    Remembering the innocent people* who will suffer is what brings me back.

    * – not you jerks, naturally

  8. > Asked to identify the Democratic Party’s most important priorities, Americans most often listed abortion, L.G.B.T.Q. rights and climate change

    I don’t get why everyone ITT is getting so bothered, this is literally true.

    Dems need to just spam way more economic messaging and turn the beneficial climate stuff into a byproduct of the *jobs* they created through IRA/CHIPS/BIL. (They need to be proactive here and actually *own* these before Trump can).

    People think Dems prioritize LGBT, social justice etc because the left-of-center messaging they see on sociaI media consists of a non-profit/pundit/activist class of highly educated people who value these things more than the median voter and talk heavily about them, and an “official” Democratic party messaging stream which is split between the economy, anti-GOP, etc but ALSO LGBT/social justice. Voters associate the first group with the party and then think that these issues are 70% of the platform.

  10. Most Americans have next to no idea how their government functions, even in theory, and support politicians that advocate for policies that run directly counter to what they say they care about.

    Examples abound from economics, foreign relations, crime, entitlements, healthcare, etc etc.

  11. Folks, it’s beyond time for Democrats to get behind voter ID.

    Literally zero downside, it’s pure inertia and delusion in thinking that low-propensity voters still vote Democrat.

    Democratic Party priorities: climate change; environmental conservation, green energy, education reform, health care reform, free trade, I could go on

    Republican Party priorities: annexing Greenland, starting a trade war, harassing minorities, destroying civil rights of LGBTQ people

    Evidently Americans are fucking idiots
