President Joe Biden

Yea. This your guy. All your guy.

WASHINGTON, March 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's public approval rating fell to a new low of 40% this week, a clear warning sign for his Democratic Party as it seeks to retain control of Congress in the Nov. 8 election, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.

This op-ed pretty much explains how not just Biden, but dems in general, have lost my vote. Too much batshit crazy, not enough quality leadership.

It isn’t ‘fringe left’ hurting Democrats — the fringe IS the Dems

What’s the distinction between super wokeness and ordinary wokeness when the party’s oldest and most mainstream members are all pushing ideas that would have seemed outlandish in the Obama era? …

The "Dems" problem is that they don't get out in front of messaging allowing batshit crazy rightwing loons to write the narrative . . . then the casual observers sees that as the reality.

So I will concede there are some Republicans that are various levels of crazy, but honest question, what policies of the right are bat shit crazy? Some are a good faith difference of opinions like abortion, but I don't see policies like "defund the police", "cash bail", "retrofitting every building in the US", etc. We've already seen the disastrous results of "soft on crime" policies.

Youj are skilled at "putting things in quotes", but do you have any " meaningful thoughts to express" on those quoted topics?

Yes, that will be her claim if she changes her tune on a matter before her. But she was unequivocal that that would take a biologist to determine, and last I checked biologists study biology. But lets both be honest, it was a punt by her to avoid answering a question that was asked for purely political reasons. Regardless, its all Kabuki theater. At least the opposition is actually sticking to her cases and legal writings and not her high school yearbook.

My thoughts are irrelevant when we have prima facie evidence that these policies have had disastrous results.

In the Kavanaugh hearings, we saw witnesses testify under oath about the juvenile behavior of the nominee. I didn't find anything there to be a disqualification, but his intemperate reaction was how he failed the job interview.

In the KTJ hearings, there was no testimony and we saw several Senators posing for the cameras. Cruz was even observed to be checking his social media impact after his performance.

I can't say I disagree much with this observation. However, Kavanaugh's behavior didn't justify the ugly behavior of the opposition (and vice versa).

Quality leadership in politics no longer exists...

What behavior did you find to be ugly?

So its your claim that none of the Dems behavior was ugly? What behavior of Kavanaugh did you find intemperate?

This could go on forever but I'm not really interested in playing your coy games. (Queue: What coy games am I playing?)

Whose, written or proposed, “policy” includes “defund the police”? The others on your list I have never heard of. Opposing abortion is one thing circumventing law is yet another. I also see polls of Americans, including Republicans and gun association members that show a large majority of us want common sense gun regulations yet congress (and yes a few of those are dems, but almost 100% of Republicans) won’t budge due to gun lobbyist influence. GOP election reform based on trumps lies and a need to limit some from voting are obviously being sold as a solution, a solution in search of a problem. Governors like Desantis making anti-mandate laws taking governance away from local authorities. And again the critical race theory mania in search of a place it’s actually being taught . . . yet another solution looking for a problem.
Yes I can go on . . .

“disastrous”? Please show some evidence of that beyond spin and opinion.

I agree with you on some of the common sense gun regulations. In terms of voting reforms, whether the context is based on Trump lies or not (which I would argue is left spin), it's irrelevant when the underlying reforms are fairly common sense. We can have a good faith debate, but I hardly see requiring some form of identification and fraud prevention elements as "bat shit crazy'. However, I do think its crazy that some Republicans believe Trump won the election...I'll give you that.

As far as defund the police and cash bail goes, exhibit A is NYC which implemented both including eliminating the plain cloths unit which was incredibly successful at fighting crime.
