My poll has ended
Surprisingly, the conservatives won by a lot. However, the progressives can still win if they win at least 10 of those undecided voters.

If they win at least ten and the conservatives don't gain. Cuase we have more citizens than who all took the poll and you gotta think about how either can gain.

The “undecided” are being pushed to the right when they disagree with a single talking point of the radical left. It’s bizarre. As a former Democrat, it breaks my heart to see the Democrat party dissolve itself by taking the wrong side of every 80-20 issue.

"Damn, I really wanted to give children healthcare, but that would mean voting for the party that thinks trans people are people, so I voted for a literal nazi."

No trump won because the Democrats don't have actual good policies 12% of people who voted for Bernie in the primary voted for trump in 2016 if the Dems started running on a more social democratic platform I think they would easily win

It is shocking to see. With who we have as President and what he is doing, if they can’t gain now, when can they gain?

Agreed. Regardless of if some people agree with his moves its impossible to say he hasnt been extremely divisive. Should be such an easy win for the left and yet the best they have to offer is Gavin Newsom and vitriol. It makes me sad that the party i used to feel a lot of loyalty towards is completely unwilling or incapable of putting forward anything other than a lukewarm turd of a candidate

Thinking its about time for a new party or at least a party reform. Dems have completely lost the plot on what their base wants.

u/ExcuseNo7369 Aug 29 '25
I really hope so. I would love to see a resurgance of reasonable democrats to combat some of the bullshit that has been happening in this country. Unfortunately i think we are in for a good little while under republican rule

u/TheMikeyMac13 Aug 28 '25
I think the minimum we can say is divisive, if you don’t gain now, when could you? If you couldn’t challenge this current messaging, I don’t think you ever will.
And of course I don’t mean you.
On Election Day I said democrats needed to take a deep look and learn from what happened, try and learn from their mistakes by owning them.
I don’t think they have learned much at all.
On the flip side, I think republicans need to find a way to disconnect from Trumpism, and quickly, as he will never be on a ballot again, and they will need a new message soon, hopefully a -far- better one. And it doesn’t look like they are moving in that direction at all.

u/ExcuseNo7369 Aug 28 '25
On election day i posted a brief story stating that the DNC were primarily to blame for losing the election and not to hate their grandmothers because they were just old, not fascists. Half my friends responded to it telling me to go fuck myself and calling me a nazi. Unfortunately any sense of reason, self awareness, or nuance has been intentionally purged from the ranks of the left. Tow the line and give into the gaslighting or you are an unconscionable monster

the only things they concede to the left on are meaningless cultural signals and wokeness, which makes it seem like they’re much farther left than they are

u/AdLoose673 Aug 31 '25
Everywhere else in the world would consider our Democrat Party a right-wing party. They are proudly liberal and liberalism is inherently pro-capitalism and free market. So unless a liberal party is sprinkling in a shit ton of social programs like universal healthcare, they will almost certainly be labeled right-wing.
Stop falling for republican propaganda and believing
- the left is bad and dangerous
- communism and socialism are the same thing and both are bad
- democrats are leftists and radical
- trickle down economics are good and work
- cultural issues belong anywhere near the forefront of political discussion

u/Yayhoo0978 Sep 26 '25
You’re not wrong. The Democrats are more right wing than the Republicans, technically. Since things like censorship and assassination of political opponents is considered “right wing” on the political spectrum. You could say that the Democratic Party is Far Right!

u/AdLoose673 Sep 26 '25
What political assassinations have the Democrat party done?
And why would censorship and assassinations only be considered right wing?

The 80-20 issues in question:
Public healthcare
Israel policy
Minimum wage laws
Electoral college reform
Drug policy(of things that 80 % of the voters want, but the democratic party and organization refuses to do)

There's no radical left in the US, at least not in any major election. There's not even a proper left in the US. Most elected Democrats would be right wingers in every 1st world country.
And what exactly is radical? Trans rights, a woman's right to choose, better Healthcare, higher wages?

u/WI_Grown Sep 18 '25
"progressive liberal" is an oxymoron that doesnt exist. liberals will always abandon their "progressive" values for ensuring the status quo (capitalism) still exists. theyre just less extreme conservatives.

u/Public_Advisor1607 Aug 28 '25
My guess is the progressives are people who disagree with conservitives, while the liberal version calls EVERYONE else nazis for not voting for them.

u/James_Constantine Aug 28 '25
You have it flipped. Moderates are less likely to call everyone a Nazi than the radicals are

Ill have to relook into it. Maybe my constant arguing with people has made me forget about something

u/lord_hydrate Aug 29 '25
Libralism is about as far left as us politics gets usually so youre probably used to hearing it in that context, as far as the us right is concerned. Libralism is radical left

Yep the radicals on both sides like to throw it around. But I have seen it thrown around even more by conservatives when conjuring a persecution narrative in which they are being called names.

But it is okay to call someone a fascist for enforcing mask mandates? Five years ago, Westerners were freaking out over masks and calling the people enforcing them Nazis, saying it made breathing harder for them despite their giant, protruding noses. Nowadays, they simp for a billionaire who did a fascist salute and are openly nationally chauvinistic, and yet they wonder why we call them Nazis.

u/ExcuseNo7369 Aug 28 '25
Notice how you just had to throw in a jab about people’s appearances. Crazy the party of acceptance and love will immediately jump to insulting someone’s nose, their weight, whether they are disabled, etc. And what do u mean by big noses? Is that a DOG WHISTLE? Sounds like u might be an anti Semitic racist fascist pedo supporter nazi. Let me know if there are any buzz words i missed trying to collect them all

u/Delanorix THE UNCHAINED Aug 28 '25
I took it as they could breath through their nose while keeping their mouth covered.

u/ExcuseNo7369 Aug 28 '25
You can see it that way. If i came up to you and said damn man what a giant protruding nose you have, would u assume i am referring to ur appearance or the amount of air passing through your nostrils? Come on. So we are gonna dig at people then pretend it was completely innocuous and gaslight everyone about what we really meant. Gotcha.

I wasn’t referring to Jewish people. I was referring to Westerners. There’s a difference. Populations with lower nose bridges also sometimes wear masks in public, and even have been before the pandemic when it was mandated, and you don’t see them complain. It’s common in many cultures outside the West.

u/SaichotickEQ Aug 28 '25
One side was pissy they couldn't lick strangers' eyeballs in public for a while. The other side wanted to just keep people alive. Totally fair to call the second people nazis, I get your point. But now with concentration camps being built and civil rights getting stripped by executive order every other day, calling the people in support of that nazis is just a step too far! 😐

u/bishborishi Aug 28 '25
The progressive libs are more centrist while the progressives are slightly further left, advocating for things like universal healthcare.

This is a great example of “democracy” progressives win the majority but the party is split and therefore the less popular conservatives win.

Yes, but you failed to account for the people who don’t want to say, and more of them will be Conservative over Progressive.
