(23,272 posts)In March 2014, 48 percent of Americans said the Democratic Party was out of touch with the concerns of most people. Today 67 percent say so. And the biggest change has occurred chiefly among the party's own typical loyalists, with "out of touch" ratings up 33 points among liberals, 30 points among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents and 26 points among moderates and nonwhites alike.

Radical socialism, I tell you!

(42,862 posts)Or, are you suggesting the loyal Democrats just keep quiet whenever people (plural) smear and insult the Democratic Party and snub our brightest and most promising new Democratic candidates? Should women be quiet and say nothing when so-called Democrats (plural) indicate that women's rights are negotiable?
If anyone needs "something to think about" it's the ones (plural) who smear the Democratic Party.

Trump faces 2-to-1 disapproval (62 to 29 percent) among people who voted for third-party candidates or didnt cast ballots. Oh my, so let's stop the debating Bernie vs Hillary..shall we....
Still trying to find DEM figure...but looking at ALL the information - and there are plenty of numbers at link - and the POS in the WH is failing among Clinton supporters and voters..
