Part that drew my eye,
The poll also comes days after the Senate failed to advance a bipartisan foreign aid bill with major new border provisions.
Americans find there is blame to go around on Congress’ failure to pass legislation intended to decrease the number of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border – with about the same number blaming the Republicans in Congress (53%), the Democrats (51%) and Biden (49%). Fewer, 39%, blame Trump.
More Americans trust that Trump would do a better job of handling immigration and the situation at the border than Biden – 44%-26% – according to the poll.
So that bipartisan border bill stunt was terrible policy, and it doesn’t seem to have done anything for the Democratic party politically
Can we please stop trying to compromise with fascists now?
Isn’t this why you have the VP running mates? You vote for them just as much.
this is certainly why you have primaries. not participating in the primaries is like saying “I don’t care” when someone asks you what restaurant you want to go to then complaining about the menu selection when you get there.
“So, do you want dog food or do you want someone to shit in your mouth? No, the Mexican place closed. No, the Italian place closed. No, the Chinese place closed too. … Dog food it is then!” - Democratic primary 2024
VPs are chosen for ‘helping to win an election’ reasons, not processional/competency reasons.
They’re usually chosen to pull in very specific groups of voters/states to ‘shore up’ what the president can’t pull in on his or her own.
Surely that is not what the job is supposed to be though.
Its not, but it ends up that way.
