(8,646 posts)is because Democrats refuse to do what is necessary to take back power. Let's get this straight: it's not because people are shitting on the Democrats that they cannot take back Congress. The reason the Democrats cannot take back congress is because they have moved so far to the right, have become so distanced from a populist message that voters have become apathetic. They don't feel anyone is there for THEM. Those of us who can see this, do the shitting. It's not a chicken or egg question in the least. Democrats have been talking one game and acting on another for some time now. People are starting to realize this. I criticize because I want to see them succeed. I want to see them win, and FOLLOW THROUGH on their promises. Or at least fight tooth and nail to follow through.
The ONE REASON Republicans win is because they have a strong message and they stand behind it. Rarely do you see a republican waffling in public about core conservative principles. Democrats need better party whips and fast. And they need a populist message. If the republicans are able to get out a populist message and stand behind it as fervently as they do their idiotic other stances, Democrats will have a slim chances of winning the House and Senate again in my lifetime.
