Baker Boy 1,485 Posted August 22, 2017 The Democratic National Committee just posted its worst July fundraising numbers in a decade, raising questions about why the party machine cannot capitalize on President Trumps low approval ratings and whether new Chairman Tom Perez is up to the task. The DNC raised $3.8 million last month, compared to $10.2 million for the Republican National Committee. The tally fit a pattern for the Democrats, who have posted a string of depressed fundraising numbers month after month this year, even after new party boss Perez took charge in February. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/22/dnc-cash-crunch-fuels-dem-frustration-questions-about-perez-leadership.html Does anyone know what their platform is?

Everyone is saying Trump's approval rating is so low (which is debatable considering the source) but there is some truth even in most lies. What if 35-40 percent is the new "normal" simply because of how divided the country is right now. But anyways, back to my point, everyone says his approval rating is extremely low, I would LOVE to see what a DNC candidates approval rating would be right now if they had one. What could it be? 20 maybe 30 percent tops? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe screaming Russia and Nazi isn't as compelling an argument as they think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,567 Posted August 22, 2017 They have "A Better Deal" They had a big rollout of it a few months back with Chuck Shumer and Nancy Pelosi and the usual suspects showing up to promote it. I wish I could tell you more but sadly, I'll have to let you down. I saw the headline and the accompanying photo a couple of months ago but didn't actually bother opening the link to read about it. I'd hoped somebody else might do that for me, but nobody bothered making a thread and I just forgot about it until now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electric Mayhem 35 Posted August 22, 2017 I think the climate is finally in the right place to support a 3rd party candidate. Most people despise Trump, and most/many people are weary of a DNC platform that wavers and has no clear path. A fiscally conservative, socially liberal moderate candidate that could trade barbs with Trump could take hold and run away with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,485 Posted August 22, 2017 I will acknowledge this. You have said this many times over the last year and twice in this thread and I am starting to feel bad for you. You can work on your next sound bite now, I suggest: The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But, under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened. - U.S. Socialist Party That is a good one!

MDC 5,902 Posted August 22, 2017 Not surprising: Voters are waking up to the fact that we essentially have one party that's in the hip pocket of Wall Street and the military industrial complex, and against workers, consumers and the American public. This hurts the Democratic party more since the Dems at least pretended to be different than the GOP at one time. Republicans make no bones about being slaves to their corporate overlords. As long as they keep giving me candidates as bad as Hillary and Trump, I'll keep voting third party. You'd be an idiot not to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bush President Obama may talk a big game about economic fairness, but his record on the issue doesn’t quite match up. . Suez, who’s known for his work on the income gap, has highlighted a surprising and discouraging fact: during the post-recession period of 2009 and 2010, the rich snagged a greater share of total income growth than they did during the boom years of 2002 to 2007.
