The Democrats need trump he's all they've got , their policies  are not popular with the masses so they need the threat of trump reappearing to help them win . Remember fear mongering , hatred of trump supporters   hallmarks of the fascist dems

Actually Republican policies are highly unpopular and always have been whereas progressive policies (which some Democrats advocate and more don't or are half hearted about) are hugely popular

That's why we have an international right-wing propaganda and disinformation war and have had for decades

To dress up a giant stinking turd as something attractive

Republicans have always privately admitted this

Unfortunately much of the masses buys that propaganda and disinformation

There's nothing wrong with hating bigotry and ignorance.

And if Dem policies are so unpopular why is the right so reliant on conspiracy theories and lies?

I thought Joe said people like him would be fired ON THE SPOT.....not asked to resign 3 weeks later

If a female Press Secretary under Trump handled it like Psaki did, we'd never have heard the fvckin end of it.

(In fairness, I read somewhere that the guy is battling an aggressive form of cancer, so who knows what meds etc he's on that caused him to lash out like he did)

I said bigotry and ignorance, which is what the GOP has cultivated and embraced and now represents.

And when it comes to hate, a poll just last week showed that a majority of Republicans view Democrats as "enemies " whereas a majority of Dems views Republicans as "political opponents ".

Not surprising when you look at right wing media and rhetoric.

A CBS opinion poll, lets all believe that one.
"I wish I could inspire the same confidence in the truth which is so readily accorded to lies".

A CBS opinion poll, lets all believe that one.

The results are consistent with reality, including the rhetoric and behaviour of the GOP up to yesterday.

And given your own track record for advocating for baseless conspiracy theories, you're probably not the go-to person here for assessing credibility. But go ahead and critique their methodology if you wish.

538 gives YouGov, the pollster used by CBS, a B rating. It's from last May, so that rating may have changed with the most recent election.

What would you say to Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's campaign staffers  if someone they helped bail out assaulted or murdered one of your family members?

Anybody who doesn't see the Republican party as mortal enemies of humanity either isn't paying attention or hates humanity

That's just the bleedin' obvious and has been for many, many years

What would you say if a President agitated an insurrection and the Capitol was invaded and law enforcement officers were murdered?

There was widespread appeals across the board to help post bail for people arrested protesting. Far more than rioters were arrested back in the summer, especially here in NYC when the NYPD engaged in a draconian response that was way over what was appropriate for peaceful protests.

Regardless, how many people out of the total bailed out the Minnesota bail fund organization committed violent crimes while out on bail? Was it the majority, as the very fair-minded Federalist writer seems to imply?

Are YOU in favour of the bail system, where rich people can avoid remand for very serious crimes, whereas poor people end up stuck in a hell hole like Rikers Island for low level stuff because they can't post bail?
