Democrats In Disarray Is Total BS

While new polling coverage is focused on the sinking popularity of the Democratic Party among Democrats, it misses the fact that Democrats are unified in their desire to stop Trump.

You can understand a lot by looking at what the mainstream media chooses to cover. Both CNN and NBC News decided to focus on Democrats in disarray narratives instead of the fact that both polls showed that Trump’s approval rating is underwater, and he looks like a failing president.

The mainstream media wants to talk about how Democrats are failing as the minority party instead of how the president that they helped to put back into office is faceplanting in front of the nation.

However, within the same polling that CNN touted as Democrats in disarray is the opposite of chaos.

Democrats appear to be united in a common mission.

CNN reported:

Democratic-aligned adults’ views of their party and its leadership also divide sharply along demographic lines, the poll finds. Those who call themselves Democrats are far likelier than independents who lean toward the party to express favorable views of the Democrats (72% to 37%), and to say the party’s leaders are taking it in the right direction (53% to 34%).

And while the party leadership earns positive reviews from most Democratic-aligned women (57% of whom say they’re taking Democrats in the right direction), people of color (57%) and those without college degrees (60%), just 38% of men and 32% of White college graduates say the same.

By contrast, majorities across demographic lines say they want to see Democrats work to stop the Republican agenda, with little daylight between the views of those who describe themselves as Democrats, and those of independents who lean toward the party. The only remaining Democratic-aligned group to edge in favor of compromise are moderates: they say, 51% to 48%, that Democrats should mainly try to work with Republicans.

Democrats have not found a leader to carry their message, but they are unified about what they want. Democrats want to fight.
