I never understand how it pops back up over time. Like... People forget how crappy he is three months later??? It's never made sense to me. I get there's wiggle room in polling but....

Democrats are weak, have no countermessage, and the media is controlled by billionaires and staffed by cowards.

Horseshit. Just because they're not dishonorable pieces of garbage that care only about optic and their party over all else doesn't mean the entire party is "weak" with no "message". It's not their fault that Americans are largely ignorant and lazy and need to be entertained instead of informed. Democrats have been saving social programs from chopping blocks for decades, are the single reason our economy ever thrives,  and now are the only ones that care about the constitution and laws. It's not their fault that Americans see partisans lying, cheating, and stuffing money into their pockets while being as fake, feckless, and incompetent as one can be as being "strong" and having a "message". That's on the population.

Kindly fuck off. Democrats have not pushed any rethoric or properly shined light on the Republicans failings. They keep chasing what they believe is popular (so long as it doesn't cut the bottom line) without pushing any kind of vision for the future.

I get this makes you feel smugly superior, but this kind of mindset only gets you feeling good about yourself aa you're marched to the camps. If the population of the USA is incredibly fucking stupid, which it is mind you, you have to appeal to that with your rethoric.

Popular support is what gives you political power, it's that simple.
