This stood out to me:
The poll comes also as Republicans hold a slight partisan edge over Democrats, which shows that 45% of Americans are Republican or lean-Republican, while 42% are Democrat or lean-Democratic, per Gallup.
That’s a change from previous years, including in 2022, when an equal number of Americans said they consider themself a Republican or a Democrat.
Democrats held a partisan edge over Republicans in 2020, 2018 and 2016, per the average of Gallup party affiliation polls from those years.
As a Republican… we don’t like DeSantis because he’s a career politician. Republicans don’t like career politicians.
(Yes, that means we don’t like most republicans in office)
Please don’t act like your party or its voters have any logical consistency. We’ve been paying attention.
I figured that would take a backseat to your love of attacking civil rights, harming minorities, and installing a Christian nationalist state. Trump did have some wins in that department, but DeSantis would certainly be more affective in that regards.
As a former Republican, I call bullshit. The longest serving members of the Senate are Republicans, and one is your party’s leader in the Senate. You guys love constantly re-electing your fossils just as much as the Dems do.
Just because people are voting for them doesn’t necessarily mean they want them there. It just means they’d rather have a Republican there than a Democrat.
The fossils are winning the primaries too. They don’t get a chance to run against Dems if you choose non-career Republicans over them in the primaries. You generally don’t just like the dems dont.
