Gentle Reminder

[angrychair]

According to a ABCNews/Washington Post poll, 45IQ is taking a beating in the numbers. He has lowest job approval number of any president at 9 months in since polling started in 1946 (37%).

66% say he lacks the personality and temperament to serve effectively as president.

49% now think it likely the 45IQ committed a crime in a conspiracy with the Russians.

These things are great BUT there are things that are not so great in the poll as well.

91% of those that voted for him would vote for him again.

Most important to us:

And marking a still-struggling opposition, 61 percent of Americans say Democratic leaders are mainly criticizing Trump, not presenting alternatives.

We should continue to call out everything 45IQ is doing but we need to make sure we as Democrats and Democrats running for office and Democrats in office are offering a clear and better way forward that does not rely on how much of a corrupt, racist idiot 45IQ and his how much of bunch of corrupt racist idiots his administration are right now either.

Two points I’m making here:

1) we have to be completely nested in reality and take to heart not only the poll numbers we like but the ones we do not.

2)we need a better message. I’m not saying it, the majority of people are saying it.

1. but yet

the down ticket isn't being effected in Virginia. The democrats should be winning that race by 10 points instead of it being close.

2. Don't need better message. Message great. Need better messaging.

The nation is majority Democratic, majority progressive, majority liberal.

Ask about the Affordable Care Act (don't call it ObamaCare for the poll): a majority approve.
Need for progressive climate change measures: majority agreement.
Need more gun control? Majorities approve.
Do not cut medicare spending? Majority agreement.

Need to control language better, counter gish-gallops better, exploit alternative media better, hammer traditional media to drop pretense of "fair and balanced" when sides are lop-sided or one side is nonsensical, etc.

Need to kill gerrymandering permanently.
