The reason for the disparity between Biden’s dismal poll numbers and the Democrats’ steady support in their own state races is the presence of an ideologically driven, very anti-Republican electorate on the Left. Many of those who support the Democratic Party are indifferent to what’s rattling the other side. Or if they do notice that things are going south, they blame Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, or the now broken and bankrupt NRA.
I am expressing these thoughts without pleasure and would be delighted if I am proven wrong. Yet the Democrats don’t have to worry about internal critics who are the equivalent of the Bulwark, the Dispatch, the Lincoln Project, or Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.). Their partisans move in lockstep and always find reasons to support their candidates, no matter how crazy these politicians sound, e.g., when they tell us men get pregnant, gender-specific pronouns are Nazi, or white people (except for members of their party) are racists and terrorists. Democrats also enjoy media support, the protection of the deep state, and even the tender care of secret surveillance agencies. Why should something as trivial as Biden’s tanking popularity doom the Democrats in the fall elections?
And media-protected election fraud is always there as a last resort.
Sadly, there is a lot of truth in the article. Democrats simply don't care whether the people they vote for deliver results - just look at any large urban city that has been run by Democrats for decades. Rather, they care about hating people who disagree with them. So they vote Democrat no matter what.

Absolutely. I'm afraid we won't see a change in party control , either in the mid terms, or in the general. I really hope I'm wrong though, how much more can our country take with an administration such as this one destroying it.

I was largely with the sentiments in the link until the last sentence, about a stolen election.
This guy is talking out of both sides of his mouth - noting the fractured Republican party and infighting, and going on to reach the opposite conclusion, that election results are rigged.
Transgenderism, deep state fears, and even immigration simply do not place highly on most people's lists of issues facing the nation. What does? Inflation, abortion and gun violence. Republicans are nominating people who have no ideology other than a stolen election and immigration. Inflation is the big issue but Republicans have no answer to inflation which, in all likelihood will be largely abated by November anyway. As for abortion and gun violence, they are on the losing end of both of them.
I think many dems would vote for Satan, even after he tells them he will burn each of them in the fires of hell after the election, rather than vote for a sane person with aspirations to turn this country into a robust representative republic again.

How about we hold you to that. Let's revisit this thread in November and see what sort of tune you'll be singing... still... when a loaf of bread is breaking the ten dollar mark. What do you think gas will be at that time?
We'll see. No one here has a crystal ball. But my bet is that you are dead wrong. So far since you've started your cheerleading posts, things have gotten worse and worse, rather than better. So, sorry, you're not a "horse" I dare place any money on. In fact, even now, you are running with a bit of a gimp.

I agree. Whereas states like Texas who have their own power grid which routinely fails, is run by Republicans, and they continue to vote republican.
The idea of sides is the problem. We've allowed ourselves to be pigeonholed neatly into Democrat and Republican camps, they have to other next to nothing other than "don't vote for the other guy". This is how a democracy dies.

Which is it?
Bunch a nothing burger. There's plenty of fracture in the Democratic party as well between the progressive and old dog Dems. They're just more civilized and flexible. Plenty of Dems don't care for AOC but she's not actively hated the way RINOs like Lincoln Project or Cheney are. There isn't a divine figurehead that one must worship to be part of the club like the Republicans have. Certainly not all and I do hope they return to more normal times. But until then, yeah, it's pretty much accurate at the core. The Dems would really need to screw up. The Dems voters may be disappointed but what's on the other side is a trainwreck.
