CNN Poll Shows Only 29% of Electorate Approves of Republican Party; Only 41% Approve of Democratic Party — 20 Comments

  1. Approvals from the gangsters getting $$$$ from the tax slaves —

    govt officials, contractors, welfare, etc. ???

  2. Kinda make sense, But really Democrats should reach low as 37 or 35% for not taking responsibility for its voter base and against the real current reality.

  3. BAN only promotes pluralistic polls but really there is another way to poll known as pure proportional representation (PR).

    In the 10th USA Parliament poll the Republican Party has about 10% support and the Democratic Party 3% under PR.

    Not only that but the 10th USA Parliament consists of unity candidates from all parties and independents who are team players, who support PR, and we’ve been doing it right by uniting diverse candidates for more that twenty-two consecutive years.

    We’re good Democratics and good Republicans, who work together for free and equal treatment for all parties (and independents) under PR, and PR works fine.

  4. Walt Ziobro…. because of Gerrymandering and voter suppression. The Repubs have fucked themselves over though. They’re going to lose a ton of seats in 2018 and this will be detrimental to their ability to control the drawing of districts after the 2020 census.

  5. EurAsia and Middle East Province

    Proportional representation is the difference-maker.

    It’s September, so we’re working now on the EurAsia and Middle East Province. These 18 countries fall within the effort:

    Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sri Lanka, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Oman and Kuwait.

  6. It seems to me that if Democratic voters didn’t show up on Election Day in 2016 because they couldn’t stand the thought of voting for Hillary Clinton, then the Democratic Party suppressed their own vote by nominating her. It seems that a lot of “voter suppression” can be traced to the tendency of both major parties to nominate unappealing candidates.

  7. This is an indication of a continuing problem: people want to throw the bums out, but then just replace them with the bums they threw out in the prior election. It reminds me of that definition of insanity as doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.

  8. The top hacks in both the Donkey/Elephant party gangs are now super-extremists

    — think Stalin/Hitler deja vu all over again.

    Scotus hacks and the media have made Prezs into KILLER gods / monarchs since 1861 Civil War I / 1917 WW I / 1933 Great Depression 1 / 1941 WW II / 1950 Korean War / 2001 AQ attack / 2009 Great Depression II.

  9. Demo, the only thing ‘extremist’ about the ‘top hacks’ in the Democratic Party is how much they hate leftists trying to change the party, and how much they support the desires of big business and corporations over the actual people they’re telling to vote for them. There is not a single ‘top hack’ in the Democratic Party that is anything close to a communist. You should talk to some actual communists and socialists before saying the Democratic Party is extremist to the left, because it’s an absurd claim.

  10. @Chris Cole Yea pretty much and that why more people lefts these parties to becoming Independent or few third parties like Greens and Libertarians without verbally abused/scolded at.

  11. JM4 –

    The top Donkey hacks since 1932 do NOT want a total govt takeover of the economy ??? —

    ie having hack dictators regarding what and where all goods and services are produced and who gets to consume such g/s ???

    What is the latest / greatest revised / amended New Age definition of *communist* ??? —

    a Bernie / Pelosi / Schumer or even H. Clinton *progressive* / *socialist* ???

  12. Bernie is a social democrat, as there’s a lot of socialists who won’t even claim him. Pelosi and Schumer are, at best, center-left on their best day, and usually corportist with social issues throw in to make them look progressive, not approaching even a social democrat, let alone anything more leftist. Hillary I’d frankly throw in the center, as her warmongering views offsets any of the meager social policy issues she half-heartedly supports. The Democratic Party has changed a lot since 1932, though I’m sure the multitude of communist and socialist parties in the 30’s would disagree with your assessment on what the party position actually was.

    The 90’s Clintonesque moderate, pro-business, third-way economic polices own the national party, and those are what the party stands for, again, with social issues throw in to make them appeal to progressive minded folk. There are more liberal members of the party, sure, and some are even elected, but even they still, generally speaking, fit into the establishment paradigm. I think you’re absolutely insane if you think Wall Street Schumer and Hillary even approach communism. And once again, go talk to some actual communists instead of calling anyone left-of-center communist. Frankly, it’s embarrassing, especially since it’s tossed out so often by people who use it as a buzzword without any actual proof backing up their claims.

  13. Hillary is in no way a moderate. Moderates of the party are Steve Bullock and Joe Manchin, and as recent as 2014 had Senators in the south (Mark Pryor in Arkansas, Mary Landrieu in Louisiana.)

  14. Quicker the better that the USA (and many other regimes) peacefully splits into communist and libertarian regimes — to see which collapses the sooner.

    See the 1917-1991 dead ex-USSR regime of tyrants, slavery (gulags) and mass death (Ukraine purge 1932-1933, Stalin purges, 1936-1939, etc.) for a fine example of a communist regime.

    What was the approval rating of such USSR regime in 1991 in the USSR ???

  15. @Brady Olson Hillary is definitely calling herself as centrist since she stuck self-subscribed as “Progressive” in 2016 election.

    And calling Jon Manchin as centrist sound why it’s so retarded because if you try look his voting record and policies is way so center-right or he’ll even right-wing in West Virginian standards.

  16. Hillary is a centrist corporatist; Manchin, Donnelly, and Heitkamp are all centrists at best, more likely center-right. Pryor and Landrieu were just plain conservative-lite, so if they were ‘moderates’ (which, as far as I’m concerned, is not the same as centrist), they’d be moderate conservatives, certainly not moderate liberals.

    Brady, what do you think Hillary was politically? I see her as a neoconservative warhawk and a Wall Street shill with no actual leftist positions besides a couple social policies she didn’t seem all that invested in?

    I live in a town were people put up signs saying, “U choose liberty and freedom or communism” during the last election, and once again, until someone talks to an actual communist (they exist in this country), I think it makes one insane to claim there is a single iota of communism in the mainstream, quasi-center-left, corporatist Democratic Party. If Hillary was communism to the idiots in my state, what was Jill Stein, who I actually voted for? In my estimate, an under rational political descriptions, Stein isn’t even a socialist. I know you didn’t call her a communist, but frankly. it’s just mental laziness for anyone to just blanket-label Democrats as communist when there are millions of leftists in this country who flat-out repudiate that description for them.

  17. To the people labeling people as obviously right, or center-right, remember that the political spectrum runs along personal AND economic freedom and many of those people are not for economic freedom. Being a corporatist is not the same as being free market. This is why Trump is not actually very right-wing, his economic policies have many left wing stances (tariffs, and embargoes for example)
