A left-leaning think tank is sounding the alarm on Democrats for being too extreme and not in touch with voters, as what could be a big night for Republicans looms in Tuesday's elections.
Third Way warned Democrats that holding on to control of either the House or the Senate would be "in spite of the party brand, not because of it" in a memo shared with Axios Monday.
"Despite a roster of GOP candidates who are extreme by any standard, voters see Democrats as just as extreme, as well as far less concerned about the issues that most worry them," the memo titled "Out of Touch on Priorities ... Out of Touch Ideologically ... Out of Touch on Values" says.
The memo says Democrats are leading in polls with issues such as abortion and climate change but that with the issues voters care about, such as the economy, immigration, and crime, they trail the GOP.
"Democrats are benefitting from a perception among voters that Republicans are extreme, but they cannot fully reap the gains of this view, as voters think Democrats are extreme as well," the memo said.
The bleak report from Third Way comes as Democrats are widely expected to lose control of the House of Representatives and have lost their edge on the toss-up for Senate control, per polls and predictors such as FiveThirtyEight, for Tuesday's election.
They don’t care at all.
But I guess from a leftard’s perspective..it is merely “less”
This is why elections will have to be restricted to only the ‘correct’ candidates. Max Butt has already let the cat out of the bag on that one.
I think there are some “sleeper” issues that none of the pollsters—even Republican pollsters—are listing—and all of them are adding to voter anger—and create a climate of doom for Democrats.
—Vaxx mandates—even those who obeyed are bitter and angry—Democratic candidates will pay.
—Internet censorship—nobody likes to be censored—and it is the Democratic allies in Big Tech that are the censors.
—The questions of polls are too vague—the real issue not asked is shutting down domestic energy supplies by the Democrats—and the fanatical insistence on electric vehicles.
The general undiscovered theme is that the Democrats are treating the voters like cattle to be herded—and the herd is getting spooked.
Human rights and autonomy are the sleeper issue.
“Less concerned”?! How about “Not concerned at all”!
Not appearing to care about issues that matter is what you get when identity politics is your message 24/7.
So true. I just hope there are enough of them.
The world is on fire and democrats just want to cut the genitals off children.
No decent human being can claim democrat party affiliation anymore.
Drag Queen Story Hour for children IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!
To say that the Media-Dem Party is EXTREME is putting it mildly, INSANE would be a much better description.
Here are just a few of their policies:
Flood the country with millions of illegal aliens.
Flood the country with fentanyl.
Put drag queens in every school
Sexualize children starting in kindergarten.
Sexually mutilate children without parental consent.
Ban oil and gas.
Pay people to not work.
Actively seek to eliminate women as a recognizable group.
Voters see Democrats as ‘extreme’ and ‘less concerned about issues’ that matter: voting machines laugh at voters naivety.
“sounding the alarm on Democrats for being too extreme and not in touch with voters”
Their forever solution that they discover each time this happens: pretend for a while to be moderate and pretend for a while to be in touch with voters. And wait for the next crisis. Don’t let it go to waste.
